Benefits of technology

The present disclosure is about a cloud computing system that can securely deploy various artifacts on the system. These artifacts can include cloud applications, edge applications, code fragments, hardware configurations, digital twin models, APIs, simulation software, firmware, device configurations, and so on. The system allows developers to efficiently manage these artifacts during their lifecycle, from development to monitoring. This management includes interactions between different stages during the lifecycle, making it easy and efficient to manage the artifacts. Overall, the system provides a platform for secure and efficient management of artifacts on the cloud computing system.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is possible that the artifacts deployed on the cloud computing system may be malicious and vulnerable to the cloud computing system and tenants who access these artifacts.
The malicious artifacts may directly or indirectly affect operation of the devices, leading to malfunctioning of the devices and higher downtime.

Abstract

The disclosure relates to deploying validated artifacts on a cloud computing system. In an embodiment, a method for deploying artifacts on the cloud computing system includes receiving a request to deploy an artifact on the cloud computing system. The request includes a unique identifier of the artifact. The method further includes retrieving an artifact signature associated with the artifact from an artifact repository using the unique identifier of the artifact; verifying the artifact using the retrieved artifact signature; and deploying the artifact in a productive environment of the cloud computing system when the artifact is successfully verified. The artifact deployed in the productive environment is accessible by one or more tenants of the cloud computing system.

Description

[0001]The present patent document is a § 371 nationalization of PCT Application Serial No. PCT / EP2018 / 063760, filed May 25, 2018, designating the United States, which is hereby incorporated by reference, and this patent document also claims the benefit of European Patent Application No. 18151637.8, filed Jan. 15, 2018, which is also hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure generally relates to cloud computing system including a cloud computing platform, and more particularly relates to secure deployment of artifacts on a cloud computing platform.BACKGROUND[0003]With the advent of cloud computing technology, a large number of devices (also known as ‘assets’) are connected to a cloud computing system via the Internet. The devices may be remotely located from the cloud computing system. For example, the devices may be equipment, sensors, actuators, robots, or machinery in an industrial set-up(s). The devices may also be medical devices and equipment ...
