ORCHESTRATION OF SOFTWARE RELEASES ON A CLOUD PLATFORM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256251 titled 'ORCHESTRATION OF SOFTWARE RELEASES ON A CLOUD PLATFORM

Simplified Explanation:

The patent application describes a system that generates a release configuration for deploying software artifacts on cloud platforms. The release configuration includes reusable components and placeholders for elements of the release.

  • The system is multi-tenant and receives requests to build software artifacts for deployment on cloud platforms.
  • The software artifacts contain executable instructions for services on cloud platforms.
  • The release configuration serves as a template for the release orchestration system to coordinate the deployment of the software artifact.
  • The release configuration includes variables representing placeholders for elements of the release.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Generation of release configuration for deploying software artifacts on cloud platforms.
  • Reusable release components included in the release configuration.
  • Placeholder variables for elements of the release in the configuration.

Potential Applications:

The technology can be applied in various industries such as software development, cloud computing, and release management.

Problems Solved:

The system streamlines the deployment process of software artifacts on cloud platforms by providing a template for release orchestration.

Benefits:

  • Efficient deployment of software artifacts on cloud platforms.
  • Standardized release configuration for consistency in deployment processes.

Commercial Applications:

The technology can be utilized by software development companies, cloud service providers, and organizations managing multiple cloud platforms.

Prior Art:

Readers can explore prior art related to release orchestration systems, cloud platform deployment, and multi-tenant systems.

Frequently Updated Research:

Stay informed about advancements in release orchestration systems, cloud platform technologies, and multi-tenant systems.

Questions about the Technology:

1. How does the system ensure the compatibility of software artifacts with different cloud platforms? 2. What measures are in place to maintain the security of the release configuration and software artifacts during deployment?


Original Abstract Submitted

a multi-tenant system receives a request to build a software artifact for deploying on one or more target datacenter entities of the datacenter configured on the could platform. a software artifact comprises executable instructions associated with a service configured for execution on one or more cloud platforms. the system generates a release configuration that includes reusable release components and is used as a template by the release orchestration system to orchestrate release of the software artifact. in one embodiment, the release configuration includes a variable representing a placeholder for one or more elements of the release.
