Change-proposal Functions in Configuration Management Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18444369 titled 'Change-proposal Functions in Configuration Management Systems
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for managing configurations of an application by proposing and implementing additional functions to extend the functionality of a base configuration package.
- The method involves receiving a configuration request and determining package functions to enhance the base configuration package.
- A change-proposal function is used to propose additional package functions to the user for approval.
- Upon approval, the base configuration package is configured with the proposed package functions.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Method for managing configurations of an application by extending functionality through package functions.
- Change-proposal function to propose and implement additional package functions.
- User approval process for proposed package functions.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in software development, IT infrastructure management, and system configuration processes.
Problems Solved: Streamlining configuration management processes, enhancing application functionality, and improving user experience.
Benefits: Efficient management of configurations, easy scalability of applications, and customization of infrastructure.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include software development tools, IT management software, and cloud computing services.
Prior Art: Prior research in configuration management systems, software development methodologies, and IT infrastructure automation tools may provide insights into similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in configuration management systems, software automation tools, and IT infrastructure optimization techniques.
Questions about Configuration Management: 1. How does the proposed method improve the efficiency of configuration management processes? 2. What are the key advantages of using package functions to extend the functionality of a base configuration package?
Original Abstract Submitted
Operations of a method include receiving a configuration request requesting configuration management of a base configuration package that describes infrastructure of an application. The operations include determining, for the base configuration package, a plurality of package functions. Each package function of the plurality of package functions extends functionality of the base configuration package. The operations include determining, for the base configuration package and the plurality of package functions, a change-proposal function. The change-proposal function proposes one or more of the plurality of package functions to extend the functionality of the base configuration package. The operations include transmitting, to a user device, the change-proposal function and receiving, from the user device, approval of the change-proposal function. In response to receiving approval of the change-proposal function, the operations include configuring the base configuration package using the one or more of the plurality of package functions proposed by the change-proposal function.
