TECHNIQUES FOR DEPLOYING WORKLOADS IN A CLOUD-COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826915 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR DEPLOYING WORKLOADS IN A CLOUD-COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for providing a standby workload to replace an active workload.

  • The method involves initializing a container for the standby workload, which includes an entry point that points to a binary to be executed by the container.
  • The entry point of the container is modified to execute a script that monitors a communication channel for an instruction for executing the standby workload.
  • The standby workload is instructed to execute either the same binary or a different binary to replace the active workload.


Original Abstract Submitted

Described are examples for providing a standby workload to replace an active workload, including initializing a container for the standby workload that includes an entry point that points to a binary to be executed by the container, modifying the entry point of the container to execute a script that monitors a communication channel for an instruction for executing the standby workload, and instructing the standby workload to execute at least one of the binary or a different binary to replace the active workload.
