DYNAMIC POST-DEPLOYMENT SERVER CONFIGURATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18094655 titled 'DYNAMIC POST-DEPLOYMENT SERVER CONFIGURATION
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for deploying servers with post-deployment configuration services using a framework that orchestrates script execution, logging, retry logic, and environment-specific configurations.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Server instantiation or deployment with orchestrated post-deployment configuration services.
- Utilization of a framework for script orchestration, logging, retry logic, and environment-specific configurations.
- Storage of configuration scripts in repositories for multi-tenant systems, vendors, database providers, etc.
- Orchestration of first and second scripts for initial and subsequent server configurations.
- Retry logic, logging, and reboot support for script execution.
- Arbitrary number of scripts series for server configuration.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in cloud computing, data centers, software development, and IT infrastructure management.
Problems Solved: The system addresses the challenges of automating server deployment and configuration processes, ensuring consistency and reliability in server setups.
Benefits:
- Streamlined server deployment and configuration processes.
- Improved efficiency and accuracy in server setup.
- Enhanced scalability and flexibility in managing server configurations.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in cloud service providers, enterprise IT departments, software development companies, and managed service providers to automate server deployment and configuration tasks efficiently.
Prior Art: Researchers can explore existing patents related to server deployment automation, configuration management tools, and cloud orchestration frameworks for further insights into the prior art landscape.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in server deployment automation, configuration management, and cloud orchestration technologies to enhance the system's capabilities and performance.
Questions about Server Deployment Automation: 1. How does the system ensure the successful execution of multiple scripts for server configuration? 2. What are the key components of the framework used for orchestrating server deployment and configuration processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
Server instantiation or deployment with at least an orchestrated post-deployment configuration service utilizing an exemplary framework providing script orchestration, logging, retry logic and environment-specific infrastructure and service configurations. At least one repository may store configuration scripts (or their equivalent), including first scripts associated with, e.g., a multi-tenant system, vendor, database provider, controller, etc., and second scripts associated with, e.g., a tenant, a database client, customer, etc. After instantiating or installing a server, it may be configured with orchestrated execution to ensure successful first server configuration, and then further configured with orchestrated execution of second scripts to ensure successful subsequent server configuration. Orchestration includes retry logic, logging, and reboot support to repeat or continue script execution after reboot, and the number of scripts series is arbitrary, e.g., there may first, second, third, etc. to orchestrate configuring or deploying a server as desired.
