Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to cloud computing infrastructure and deployment automation systems. More specifically, it is a cloud deployment automation device and system that integrates resource orchestration, workload provisioning, dependency mapping, and customizable deployment workflows into a unified architecture, enabling efficient and reliable software lifecycle operations across hybrid, public, and private cloud environments. Background of the invention

[0002] As companies migrate workloads and applications to the cloud, the complexity of deploying, managing, and orchestrating cloud-based infrastructures increases significantly. Manual deployment processes, a lack of visibility into cloud resources, and fragmented configuration pipelines often lead to misconfigurations, resource overflow, and significant downtime. Traditional deployment automation tools either lack robust resource orchestration capabilities or do not support customizable workflows that meet company-specific compliance and runtime constraints.There is a need for a unified, machine-integrated system that provides end-to-end cloud provisioning automation, abstracts the complexity of underlying cloud platforms, and enables dynamic workflow adaptation with integrated error handling, dependency resolution, and stateful resource provisioning.

[0003] Cloud computing has revolutionized the way companies deploy, scale, and manage their IT infrastructure. In modern enterprise environments, deploying applications and infrastructure across multiple cloud providers—public, private, or hybrid—has become the norm rather than the exception. However, the actual process of deploying workloads to the cloud is often fraught with operational inefficiencies, platform-specific nuances, and a significant risk of misconfiguration. To address these challenges, numerous deployment automation tools and configuration management frameworks have emerged over the past decade.While existing platforms have helped automate certain aspects of cloud infrastructure deployment, they are still limited in scope, flexibility, and scalability when managing complex enterprise-wide deployments that span multiple clouds, involve heterogeneous systems, and require integration with custom business logic and compliance policies.

[0004] Due to the limitations of individual tools, many organizations resort to building custom deployment automation pipelines using shell scripts and configuration template engines. While such approaches offer short-term flexibility, they often result in unstable systems that are difficult to maintain, debug, or scale. Custom scripts rarely systematically support state management, transaction rollback, or the resolution of dependencies between resources. The lack of standardized telemetry, error handling, or policy enforcement mechanisms frequently leads to infrastructure drift, inconsistent environments, and security vulnerabilities. Furthermore, such pipelines often lack idempotence—re-executing them can result in duplicate resources, orphaned dependencies, or unintended cost increases.

[0005] Another major challenge with current solutions is the lack of integrated compliance enforcement. Enterprise implementations often require adherence to governance policies, network segmentation standards, resource tagging conventions, or access control restrictions. These policies often need to be manually reviewed or retroactively enforced using external compliance scanning tools. This leads to delays, manual interventions, and potential risks between the time of deployment and the detection of violations. The lack of real-time policy enforcement integrated into the deployment workflow increases the operational burden on development teams and slows the release cycle.

[0006] Furthermore, operational visibility into deployment processes remains fragmented. Most existing tools provide only coarse-grained logs or dashboards after deployment, without the ability to act on real-time insights. In scenarios where deployment phases take hours due to resource constraints, network delays, or external system dependencies, the lack of live observability makes it difficult to respond in a timely manner. Without feedback loops that can dynamically reconfigure, pause, or rollback deployments, organizations risk introducing silent errors or unexpected behavior that only becomes apparent after production.

[0007] Another shortcoming is the limited support for workflow customization and extensibility. Deployment workflows are often constrained by rigid schemas and fixed lifecycle phases of the tools. Organizations with complex business logic—for example, deploying a workload only after regulatory audit approval before deploying critical data services—must rely on complex custom code or third-party event handlers. This increases coupling between systems and reduces maintainability. Ideally, deployment workflows should allow organizations to insert custom logic at any stage, define complex branching conditions, and perform additional tasks without compromising the atomicity or observability of the overall pipeline.

[0008] Finally, scalability and multi-tenancy are often not sufficiently addressed in deployment automation tools. As companies expand, the number of deployment environments, target regions, application stacks, and isolated tenants grows significantly. Managing deployments across hundreds of cloud accounts, projects, and subscriptions requires granular, role-based access control, secure credential vaulting, concurrency control, and audit trails. Few existing solutions offer such capabilities in a unified framework, forcing organizations to implement their own governance models across multiple toolchains.

[0009] The lack of a unified system that combines resource orchestration, customizable provisioning workflows, secure credential management, and feedback-driven control mechanisms leaves a significant gap in the market for a machine-integrated, intelligent cloud provisioning automation platform. The present invention addresses these challenges with a purpose-built system and hardware device that unifies these diverse capabilities into a robust, extensible, and enterprise-grade provisioning automation framework. Summary of the invention

[0010] The present invention provides a cloud deployment automation system. It consists of a machine-implemented hardware device with an integrated resource orchestration processor, storage modules for persistent state tracking, and network interfaces for bidirectional communication with cloud APIs and internal enterprise systems. The device includes a deployment control engine that interacts with an orchestration logic module to automate infrastructure provisioning, service registration, application rollout, and deployment rollback based on declarative configurations and user-defined workflows. The system also includes a customizable workflow compiler unit that translates graphical or textual deployment logic into runtime-executable instructions that can be interpreted by the orchestration engine.A telemetry interface captures real-time deployment events, execution traces, and resource states and feeds them into an internal feedback controller that adjusts deployment steps according to detected anomalies or rollback triggers.

[0011] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a comprehensive cloud provisioning automation system that seamlessly integrates resource orchestration with customizable provisioning workflows in a unified, machine-driven architecture. The goal of the invention is to simplify and standardize the complex process of provisioning cloud infrastructure and application workloads in heterogeneous environments, including public cloud platforms, private data centers, and hybrid configurations. Declarative configuration, dynamic dependency management, and intelligent execution flow are designed to reduce operational overhead and minimize the likelihood of provisioning errors, misconfigurations, and environmental inconsistencies.

[0012] Another objective of the invention is to provide a hardware-based deployment automation device that acts as a central controller, executing deployment logic at machine speed, while securely communicating with cloud APIs, internal enterprise systems, and compliance enforcement engines. This device provides persistent state tracking, transactional rollback capabilities, and runtime monitoring, thus ensuring high reliability and traceability of deployment operations. Furthermore, it isolates deployment execution from developer environments, thus improving security, scalability, and compliance with organizational governance frameworks.

[0013] Another goal of the invention is to enable highly customizable deployment workflows that can be adapted to organizational processes, policies, and runtime conditions. The invention allows users to define complex deployment logic using graphical interfaces or domain-specific languages, incorporating conditional execution, loops, exception handling, and event-driven branching. This high level of workflow flexibility ensures that deployment processes consider not only technical requirements but also business approvals, audit triggers, and runtime validations.

[0014] The invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of existing automation tools by introducing a native feedback control loop into the deployment process. This includes telemetry data collection, real-time status monitoring, and dynamic adjustment of deployment steps based on performance thresholds, error signals, or compliance violations. By embedding feedback-driven orchestration into the core of the system, the invention improves deployment stability and enables self-correcting behavior in complex, multi-step workflows.

[0015] Through these objectives, the invention provides a robust, extensible and secure platform for the automated provisioning of infrastructure and applications in cloud-centric IT environments. SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE

[0024] In Fig.Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a cloud deployment automation system with integrated resource orchestration and customizable deployment workflows. The system 100 includes: a deployment automation appliance (102) in a rack-mounted enclosure. The appliance includes: a multi-core orchestration processor (104) configured to execute deployment logic as compiled execution graphs; a storage module (106) operatively coupled to the orchestration processor and storing deployment templates, real-time execution states, telemetry logs, and policy configurations;a secure credential management processing unit (108) embedded in the device, configured to generate, store, and rotate cloud access tokens, API keys, and user-specific credentials, and to provide encrypted access to those credentials during deployment execution;a workflow execution engine (110) located in memory and executed by the orchestration processor and configured to (a) parse a user-defined deployment configuration with a declarative specification of infrastructure resources, (b) compile the configuration into a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with resource deployment order, dependency mapping, and rollback relationships, (c) initiate the deployment of cloud-native infrastructure resources via a vendor-agnostic orchestration interface layer, (d) monitor deployment progress in real time via an integrated telemetry feedback channel, and (e) dynamically trigger rollback or reconfiguration operations based on predefined error handling rules or runtime anomalies;a cloud provider interface subsystem (112) communicatively connected to multiple heterogeneous cloud platforms via corresponding API adapters, enabling the orchestration processor to send provisioning requests and receive status events from the platforms; a customizable workflow compiler unit (114) configured to convert graphical workflow definitions or domain-specific language (DSL) scripts into execution sequences usable by the workflow execution engine, wherein the workflow compiler unit supports conditional branching, asynchronous operations, and runtime variable resolution;and a policy enforcement control unit (116) integrated into the deployment automation device, wherein the policy engine is configured to apply organization-specific compliance rules, tagging conventions, security group configurations, and runtime resource constraints to all deployment actions in a context-dependent manner prior to execution. ;

[0025] In one embodiment, the secure credential management processing unit (108) comprises a hardware-based Trusted Platform Module (TPM) configured to enforce asymmetric cryptographic operations to unseal credentials, wherein access to runtime credentials is controlled by processor-bound attestations and time-bound session tokens that automatically expire upon workflow termination or failure.

[0026] In one embodiment, the workflow execution engine (110) comprises an internal rollback scheduler that continuously maintains a backward traversal path of the active execution graph, checking each completed deployment node with status metadata, allowing the rollback scheduler to selectively deprovision or restore components based on rollback rules annotated in the declarative configuration.

[0027] In one embodiment, the telemetry feedback channel comprises a real-time event collection module implemented using a streaming message queue, and wherein the module aggregates provisioning events, performance metrics, error signals, and provider API responses into a time series database with millisecond precision, further enabling the orchestration processor to adaptively pause, delay, or reorder resource provisioning operations.

[0028] In one embodiment, the customizable workflow compiler unit (114) comprises a static validation engine that performs semantic checks on the custom workflow prior to execution. These checks include detecting dependency cycles, resolving undefined variables, validating resource quotas against cloud provider limits, and checking embedded policy constraints prior to runtime compilation.

[0029] In one embodiment, the cloud provider interface subsystem (112) comprises an abstraction layer with provider-specific adapter plugins, where each plugin translates internal canonical resource representations into provider-native API formats and also performs response normalization, rate limiting handling, and authentication token renewal for the associated cloud endpoint.

[0030] In one embodiment, the policy enforcement control unit (116) comprises a compliance rule interpreter that dynamically inserts additional validation steps into the execution graph during runtime compilation, the interpreter configured to enforce resource whitelisting, data-at-rest encryption requirements, restricted subnet usage, and automatic tagging for billing and audit tracking.

[0031] In one embodiment, the storage module (106) further stores a deployment history repository including versioned snapshots of previous deployments, resource differences, and success / failure tracking, and wherein the repository is used by the workflow execution engine to support version-aware rollback, delta deployments, and rollback-to-n checkpoints.

[0032] In one embodiment, the workflow execution engine (110) is containerized and runs in an isolated namespace per deployment workflow instance. This isolation ensures tenant-level data separation, execution parallelism, and fault containment for concurrently executing deployment jobs.

[0033] In one embodiment, the orchestration processor (104) is configured to perform dynamic graph optimization prior to execution, wherein the optimization includes reordering tasks based on parallelizability analysis, predicting resource allocation latency, and collapsing the dependency chain for tightly coupled resource pairs.

[0034] The claimed cloud deployment automation system is implemented as a hardware-integrated solution, with each functional module corresponding to physically instantiated circuits or firmware-executing subsystems within a dedicated, rack-mountable deployment automation device. The orchestration processor is realized by a multi-core general-purpose processor, optionally based on x86 or ARM architecture. It is physically mounted on the device's motherboard and serves to execute compiled deployment logic in the form of execution graphs. The storage module includes both volatile RAM (e.g., DDR4 / DDR5) and non-volatile storage (e.g., NVMe SSD), electrically and operatively connected via board-level interconnects, and is configured to persistently store deployment templates, telemetry logs, real-time execution states, and access policies.The secure processing unit for credential management is implemented as a discrete Hardware Security Module (HSM) or embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM). It generates and stores cryptographic credentials and provides hardware-assisted encryption and access control during deployment. The workflow execution engine and the customizable compiler unit, while executed in software, are persistently stored in firmware partitions or immutable memory blocks and physically bound to the orchestration processor, integrating them as embedded functional components. The cloud provider interface subsystem includes physical communication interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, fiber optic, or serial ports) and dedicated network controller chips that support API-level communication with multiple cloud environments over isolated communication channels.The policy enforcement control unit comprises logic circuits programmed in FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) or implemented via dedicated microcontroller subsystems. This ensures hardware-accelerated policy evaluation and context-aware compliance enforcement during real-time provisioning.

[0035] The present invention provides a cloud deployment automation system in a dedicated appliance that integrates resource orchestration, workflow execution, policy enforcement, and dynamic feedback-based control to enable deterministic, secure, and adaptable infrastructure deployment in heterogeneous environments. The system architecture is based on a deployment automation appliance with a multi-core orchestration processor that executes machine-based orchestration logic generated from user-defined declarative specifications.

[0036] After compilation, the orchestration processor performs a graph-based deployment execution. It uses topological sorting to identify nodes ready to execute based on the satisfaction of dependencies. A priority queue manages the active nodes and ensures that parallelizable tasks execute concurrently, while sequentially dependent operations are postponed until all prerequisites are met. The processor interacts with a cloud provider abstraction layer that standardizes communication across various cloud application programming interfaces. Each outgoing request is converted from the canonical resource representation defined in the execution graph to the corresponding native API payload using provider-specific adapter plugins.These plugins also normalize response formats and handle error conditions such as rate limits, authentication errors, or partially successful responses.

[0037] The deployment status of each node is tracked in real time via a telemetry feedback interface that transmits execution results, metrics, and anomalies to a time-series telemetry store. The orchestration processor subscribes to these telemetry events and executes a feedback control technique to determine runtime adjustments. Rollbacks are handled by a dedicated reverse graph traversal subroutine, which undoes completed deployment tasks by performing destroy operations in reverse topological order. This ensures safe teardown of dependent resources before parent objects are removed.

[0038] Credential management is handled by an embedded module that provides runtime access to secrets, tokens, and certificates. During graph execution, each node is tagged with a credential scope identifier, which the orchestration processor uses to request ephemeral session credentials from the credential vault. A secure, hardware-based Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ensures that these credentials are accessible only within the device and are cryptographically bound to both the device identity and the workflow execution session. Upon completion or premature termination of deployment, all tokens expire and are destroyed, eliminating the risk of post-deployment credential loss.

[0039] The system also supports multi-tenancy and concurrent execution through isolated namespaces, with each implementation instance stored in a container. The orchestration processor manages a lightweight scheduler that assigns implementation DAGs to available processor threads or container execution slots, balancing resource utilization while enforcing multi-tenant isolation. The scheduler considers execution complexity, graph width, expected resource contention, and execution priority when queuing and assigning workflow execution contexts.

[0040] In some embodiments, the system includes an optional machine learning-based prediction engine that continuously analyzes telemetry data from historical deployments to identify patterns that indicate potential deployment failures or performance degradation. This prediction engine operates asynchronously and provides upfront risk assessments for each node in the DAG. This allows the scheduler to change the execution order or apply conservative resource sizing when high-risk patterns are detected.

[0041] The entire pipeline—from configuration analysis, graph compilation, and topological traversal to feedback-driven adjustments and rollbacks—is deterministic, observable, and reproducible. Each execution history is captured in a deployment history log, which supports replay, forensics, and rollback-to-n operations. This log contains execution timestamps, response payloads, credential access logs, rollback events, and policy decisions made during runtime. This ensures that every deployment instance can be fully reconstructed and audited.

[0042] The invention thus introduces a highly structured, technically oriented system for orchestrating cloud infrastructure deployment. It leverages a formal graph execution model, real-time telemetry feedback, integrated policy enforcement, and secure, hardware-based credential management. The combination of these elements ensures consistent, secure, and recoverable deployments tailored to the operational and compliance requirements of complex enterprise environments.

[0043] The system includes a Deployment Automation Device in a modular, rack-mountable chassis with a multi-core orchestration processor, high-speed memory, a persistent configuration vault, and cloud-native interface adapters. The orchestration processor is configured to execute cloud deployment instructions in a deterministic order, dynamically resolving dependencies between resources using a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The processor is also coupled with a secure credential module that processes encrypted access tokens from cloud providers and runtime authentication certificates.

[0044] A graph compiler module in the system processes custom deployment templates and generates execution graphs that represent the logical and temporal dependencies between infrastructure components such as VMs, container clusters, load balancers, security groups, secrets, and databases. These graphs are stored in a deployment state repository that manages historical configuration snapshots and runtime checkpoints. The system enables rollback to previous states in the event of partial deployment failures or runtime exceptions.

[0045] The system also features a custom workflow builder interface, implemented as a web-based user interface or command-line interface, that allows users to design, test, and validate deployment pipelines. Each pipeline stage can include conditional logic, loop constructs, environmental validations, and dynamic branching based on system status or telemetry feedback. A compliance rule engine integrated into the system ensures that all deployed resources comply with organization-specific governance policies, security guidelines, and regulatory checklists.

[0046] To enable dynamic scaling and concurrent deployment executions, the appliance features a multi-tenant execution manager supported by containerized microservices in isolated namespaces. This allows the system to process deployment operations concurrently across multiple cloud environments and tenants while ensuring isolation, security, and auditability.

[0047] The invention relates to the field of cloud computing infrastructure automation, in particular to systems and devices for automating the provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of cloud-based and hybrid IT resources. In particular, it relates to the development and operation of a hardware-based provisioning automation system that integrates resource orchestration, dynamic workflow execution, real-time telemetry feedback, and policy compliance mechanisms to enable scalable, reliable, and adaptable infrastructure provisioning across multiple cloud service providers and on-premises systems. The invention touches on technical areas such as distributed systems, cloud orchestration, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), system telemetry, and secure credential management.
