SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED MIGRATION REPLICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18377160 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED MIGRATION REPLICATION

The abstract of the patent application describes techniques for automated migration replication. A method involves creating a volume group with an initial snapshot of a virtual machine (VM) in an initial environment and configuration. This method also includes generating a terraform stack based on the initial snapshot, which, when executed in an environment, replicates the VM. Additionally, the method involves providing the terraform stack to a user, generating a subsequent snapshot of the VM in a subsequent configuration, creating a delta file to capture the difference between the initial and subsequent snapshots, and generating a delta terraform stack based on the delta file. Executing the delta terraform stack updates the previously replicated VM to match the subsequent VM configuration, with the delta terraform stack also provided to the user.

  • Creating a volume group with an initial snapshot of a VM in an initial environment and configuration
  • Generating a terraform stack based on the initial snapshot for VM replication
  • Providing the terraform stack to a user for execution in an environment
  • Generating a subsequent snapshot of the VM in a subsequent configuration
  • Creating a delta file to capture the differences between the initial and subsequent snapshots
  • Generating a delta terraform stack based on the delta file for updating the replicated VM
  • Providing the delta terraform stack to the user for execution

Potential Applications: - Cloud computing environments - Data center management - Virtual machine migration tools

Problems Solved: - Automated replication of virtual machines - Efficient management of VM configurations - Simplified migration processes

Benefits: - Streamlined VM replication - Reduced manual intervention - Enhanced data center efficiency

Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Virtual Machine Migration Replication Technology for Cloud Environments This technology can be utilized by cloud service providers to offer seamless migration services to their customers, improving overall efficiency and customer satisfaction in the cloud computing industry.

Questions about Automated Virtual Machine Migration Replication Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of virtual machine migration processes? 2. What are the key advantages of using terraform stacks for VM replication in different environments?


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are provided for automated migration replication. A method can include creating a volume group including an initial snapshot of a virtual machine (VM) residing in an initial environment and in an initial configuration (VM). The method can include generating a terraform stack based on the initial snapshot, execution of which in an environment causes replication of VM in that environment. The method can include providing the terraform stack to a user, generating a subsequent snapshot of the VM in a subsequent configuration (VM), generating a delta file characterizing the difference between the initial snapshot stored in the volume group and the subsequent snapshot, generating a delta terraform stack based on the delta file, wherein execution of the delta terraform stack causes previously replicated VM to update to replicate VM, and providing the delta terraform stack to the user
