AUTOMATE SUSPENSION AND REDEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18139987 titled 'AUTOMATE SUSPENSION AND REDEPLOYMENT OF CLOUD RESOURCES

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method to automate the suspension and redeployment of cloud resources based on network traffic associated with a compute cluster hosting a containerized application.

  • The apparatus determines whether to suspend the containerized application based on network traffic.
  • It identifies a port of a transient container available to be mapped to the containerized application.
  • Requests to access the containerized application are forwarded to the port of the transient container.
  • The apparatus deprovisions resources associated with the containerized application.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Automation of suspension and redeployment of cloud resources.
  • Decision-making based on network traffic.
  • Mapping of ports between containers.
  • Efficient resource management.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and containerized applications to optimize resource usage and improve scalability.

Problems Solved:

  • Manual suspension and redeployment of cloud resources.
  • Inefficient resource allocation.
  • Scalability challenges in containerized applications.

Benefits:

  • Improved resource utilization.
  • Enhanced scalability and flexibility.
  • Automation of resource management tasks.
  • Cost savings through efficient resource allocation.

Commercial Applications: Automated cloud resource management for enterprises, cloud service providers, and data centers. This technology can streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall performance in cloud environments.

Prior Art: Potential areas to search for prior art include cloud resource management systems, container orchestration technologies, and network traffic analysis tools.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in cloud resource automation, containerization technologies, and network traffic analysis for efficient resource management.

Questions about Cloud Resource Automation: 1. What are the key benefits of automating cloud resource suspension and redeployment? 2. How does this technology improve scalability in containerized applications?


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to automate suspension and redeployment of cloud resources. The example apparatus is to, based on network traffic associated with a compute cluster hosting a containerized application, determine whether to suspend the containerized application. Additionally, the example apparatus is to determine a port of a transient container that is available to be mapped to the containerized application and cause a request to access the containerized application to be forwarded to the port of the transient container instead of the containerized application. The example apparatus is also to deprovision one or more resources associated with the containerized application.
