Description

1 TARIFF During the restoration phase of cloud-based computing systems. A system and method that enables the automatic application of correct templates. TECHNICAL FIELD The invention addresses potential issues that may arise during the transition of information systems to new software versions. Due to problems, the appropriate template is needed during the process of restoring the previous version. a system and method that enables the automatic detection and application of files 10 It is related. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Today's information systems, the technological advancements that have taken place in the past 15 years In line with this, systems are now increasingly referred to as cloud-native. whether in public cloud or private cloud environments, it is easy and They operate in structures that are scalable and can be updated efficiently. These systems... settings can be easily configured during installation and upgrades to new software versions. Template files (charts) are generally used for implementation. The 20 mentioned... Systems, in line with developments in cloud technology, are no longer direct as they used to be. Instead of being built on servers, it's more of a cloud-specific architecture based on needs. It is being created and, depending on the intended use of the system, it will be either in a private cloud or a public cloud. They are established in cloud-specific environments. Cloud-specific computing systems are built within the cloud environment. 25 thanks to its easy installation and ability to respond quickly to environmental changes It benefits from scalability features. These systems are easy to set up. And upgrading to a new software version is a common pattern in cloud-based systems. This is done through template files. These template files are used throughout the entire information system. Because they contain important configuration settings for the units, during the system installation phase All settings are automatically configured without any manual intervention. 30 This is how it is implemented. A new software version of an information system established in this way... a technical problem that may occur during or after the functional tests Therefore, it may be necessary to restore the previous software version to the system. Such a situation... in this case the system is both the previous software version and related to that version Template files that have been created are required. This is related to the old version 35. The purpose of restoring using the created template files is to restore the new version. 2 Issues that may arise between template files created for this purpose and the old software version The goal is to prevent inconsistencies. In information systems, when restoring an old version, the template associated with that version is lost. One of the current methods followed for finding and implementing files is IT 5 Template for the update unit responsible for updating and restoring the system The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the storage unit (artifactory) where the files are located, (Uniform Resource Locator) information is provided. The URL is stored in the update unit storage unit. By accessing the necessary template files for the software version to be restored, It is used during the restoration process. In this method, 10 files can be easily transferred to the storage unit. With the advantage of being able to access them, the update unit can update the template versions it needs. By submitting the necessary template files, they can access them. However, this is especially true in private cloud environments. A storage unit that every information system can easily access is important both in terms of cost and... It is unavailable for security reasons. In this case, the cloud has restrictions. This prevents the use of this method in their environments. 15 Another method currently being followed is to update and then restore. The system administrator performing the update must provide the necessary template files to the update unit. This is done manually. This method is suitable for information systems with a small number of components. Although it is a feasible method, large and complex computing systems consisting of numerous units... 20 It is not possible to use this method in their systems. This involves manual steps. When this method is used in large-scale computing systems, it is very susceptible to human error. Errors occur due to the use of incorrect template files during the restoration process. It also involves collecting and updating template files from many different units. Because it takes time to transmit, installing the previous software version on the information system is quite... 25 It can take a long time. As a result of research conducted in the literature, the application numbered “2019 / 17869” and “Cloud platforms” The invention is titled "System containing a big data analysis device and the working method of this device". A patent application has been found in Türkiye. The application concerns 30 patents that process big data. It analyzes the data used by software before transferring it to the cloud, and then... A system that includes a big data analysis device that transfers data to storage areas in cloud systems, and This relates to the operating method of the device. However, the application in question concerns new information systems. Due to potential problems that may arise during the transition to previous software versions, During the version restoration process, the appropriate template files are automatically detected and 35 No evidence has been found regarding the system and methods that enabled its implementation. 3 Ultimately, the problems mentioned above, which cannot be solved with current technology, are the subject of this technical analysis. This has made it necessary to make an innovation in the field.

This allows for the prevention of potential problems. Therefore, when a situation arises that requires restoring the previous software version to the system, Update unit (3) of template files associated with the previous software version 30 a system and method that can be easily found and implemented automatically It recommends. Correct during the restoration phase of cloud-specific computing systems (1) With a system and method that enables the automatic application of templates, update 35 Template file version unit (4) working together with unit (3) is a version in the information system (1). When an update occurs, all template files associated with the new version are copied under the corresponding version name. 7 It backs up to a file system. The main purpose here is to prevent the need for a system restore. template files of all units of the information system (1) regardless of whether or not The aim is to provide easy access using the software version name. If IT If the system (1) is being installed for the first time, the template file version unit (4) belongs to all units. Place the template files under a file system named after the version of the system that was installed. It copies the data. This allows the newly installed system to be updated to a new software version without reverting back. If a reinstallation is needed, all components associated with the system's previous version, i.e., the version it was first installed in, will be reinstalled. Template files can also be easily accessed. After the information system (1) switches to the new version then the system may become inoperable due to possible software errors or fundamental If critical errors affecting functionality are found, the system will be reset to version 10 of the previous software version. The need for restoration arises. In this case, the system administrator who performed the version update... restore the previous software version to the information system (1), update unit (3) It starts via the restore option. In this case, the update unit (3) is restored. By notifying the template file version unit (4) of the name of the desired software version, you can report that version. He requests that all template files be sent. He then lists the version name sent to him under the file system as 15. The template file version unit (4) finds all templates under the file system related to the old version. It transmits the files to the update unit (3). The template file is transmitted to the information unit (4) via the version unit. Update that automatically accesses the template files of all units in the (1) system Unit (3) also contains the version of software that is to be restored and all templates associated with that version. It uses the files to bring the system to the desired version level.
