Method and system of providing artifacts in a cloud computing environment

Abstract

A method and system for providing artifacts in a cloud computing environment. In an embodiment, a method includes generating an executable file associated with an artifact to be deployed on a cloud computing system. The method includes creating a directory entry associated with the artifact in an artifact repository. The method includes generating an association between the executable file associated with the artifact and the directory entry associated with the artifact. The method includes generating association between a template associated with the artifact and the directory entry associated with the artifact. The method includes generating an artifact package including the executable file and the template associated with the artifact. The method includes publishing the artifact package associated with the artifact in an application marketplace using the directory entry.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This present patent document is a § 371 nationalization of PCT Application Serial Number PCT / EP2019 / 050947 filed Jan. 15, 2019, designating the United States, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety by reference. This patent document also claims the benefit of EP18151637.8 filed on Jan. 15, 2018 and EP19151684.8 filed on Jan. 14, 2019 both of which are also hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference.FIELD[0002]Embodiments relate to a cloud computing system, a method, and a system of providing artifacts in a cloud computing environment.BACKGROUND[0003]With 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, machinery in an industrial set-up(s). The devices may also be medical devices and equipm...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a cloud computing system that manages the lifespan of different kinds of cloud-based applications, services, and other objects. This makes it easy for developers to create, test, and maintain these objects on the cloud platform. The system provides a platform for managing these objects as they go through different stages of development, testing, and deployment. The technical effect of this system is to streamline and simplify the process of managing these objects on the cloud platform, making it more efficient and effective for developers to create and use them.

Problems solved by technology

The currently known cloud computing systems does not provide a cloud computing platform capable of managing artifacts throughout its lifecycle.

This makes managing artifacts during its lifecycle a time consuming and cumbersome task.

The current cloud computing platform does not provide an artifact that may be used in different scenarios, thereby causing inconvenience to the user of the cloud computing platform.
