METHOD OF DEPLOYING AN AGENT PLATFORM THAT ENABLES CLOUD-BASED MANAGEMENT OF MANAGEMENT APPLIANCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240231875 titled 'METHOD OF DEPLOYING AN AGENT PLATFORM THAT ENABLES CLOUD-BASED MANAGEMENT OF MANAGEMENT APPLIANCES
The abstract describes a method of deploying an agent platform on an agent platform appliance that connects management appliances to cloud services on a cloud platform. The method involves initiating a deployment sequence, executing steps up to a checkpoint, detecting and recovering from errors, and resuming execution from the checkpoint.
- Initiating a sequence of steps to deploy the agent platform on the agent platform appliance
- Executing the sequence of steps up to a particular checkpoint
- Continuing execution of the sequence of steps beyond the checkpoint
- Detecting an error during continued execution
- Determining the error is recoverable
- Resuming execution from the particular checkpoint
Potential Applications: - Deployment of agent platforms on appliances - Connecting management appliances to cloud services - Error detection and recovery in deployment processes
Problems Solved: - Streamlining deployment processes - Ensuring continuity in execution despite errors - Enhancing reliability of agent platform deployment
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in deploying agent platforms - Enhanced resilience in error handling - Seamless integration of management appliances with cloud services
Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Agent Platform Deployment for Cloud Services" This technology can be utilized by IT companies, cloud service providers, and organizations managing large-scale cloud infrastructures to automate and optimize the deployment of agent platforms for seamless connectivity with cloud services.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the reliability of agent platform deployment? - The method includes error detection and recovery mechanisms to ensure continuous execution despite errors, enhancing the overall reliability of the deployment process.
2. What are the key advantages of deploying an agent platform on an agent platform appliance? - Deploying an agent platform on a dedicated appliance can streamline the management of cloud services and improve the efficiency of connecting management appliances to cloud platforms.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of deploying an agent platform on an agent platform appliance, wherein the agent platform connects management appliances to cloud services executing on a cloud platform, includes the steps of: initiating a sequence of steps to deploy the agent platform on the agent platform appliance; executing the sequence of steps up to a particular checkpoint, and continuing execution of the sequence of steps beyond the particular checkpoint; during the continued execution of the sequence of steps beyond the particular checkpoint, detecting an error; determining that the detected error is a recoverable error; and in response to the determining that the detected error is a recoverable error, resuming execution of the sequence of steps from the particular checkpoint.
