Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual cloud architecture design is performed by users, then flexibility and customization are improved, but time consumption and expertise requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecloud architecture customizationVSAvoidtime for architecture design
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service cloud architecture design by providing an automated architecture generator that creates cloud architectures based on user inputs. The architecture generator automatically selects components, configurations, and relationships without requiring manual design expertise, thus reducing time consumption while maintaining customization through user-defined parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of cloud architecture design with an automated system. The architecture generator uses algorithms and data processing to automatically create cloud architectures, substituting the manual expertise-based approach with a systematic automated process that reduces time requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If external consultants are hired for cloud architecture design, then expertise and reliability are improved, but cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecloud architecture qualityVSAvoidbusiness expenses
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables organizations to perform cloud architecture design independently using the automated architecture generator, eliminating the need to hire external consultants. The self-service capability maintains reliable architecture quality through automated best practices while significantly reducing costs associated with consultant fees.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The architecture generator creates cloud architectures by copying and adapting proven patterns, templates, and best practices from predefined models. This copying approach ensures reliable architecture quality without requiring expensive external expertise, as the system replicates validated design patterns automatically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive cloud architecture components are considered, then adaptability and functionality are improved, but device complexity and difficulty of selection increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecloud resource optionsVSAvoidcloud architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex cloud architecture selection process into manageable components. The architecture generator breaks down the comprehensive set of cloud resources into organized categories and presents them through structured interfaces, making the selection process less complex while maintaining access to comprehensive options.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The architecture generator acts as an intermediary between the user and the comprehensive cloud resource options. It translates user requirements into appropriate architecture components, mediating the complexity by automatically matching resources to needs rather than requiring users to navigate complex options directly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Productivity

If automated cloud architecture deployment is implemented, then productivity and time efficiency are improved, but measurement precision and configuration accuracy requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecloud deployment speedVSAvoidconfiguration accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms that validate configuration accuracy during the automated deployment process. The architecture generator includes verification steps that check configuration parameters against predefined best practices and constraints, ensuring accuracy while maintaining high deployment productivity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The architecture generator performs preliminary actions by pre-validating and pre-configuring architecture components before deployment. This preliminary preparation ensures configuration accuracy is built into the automated process, eliminating the need for manual verification while maintaining precise and accurate deployments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A cloud architect guides cloud architecture design and deployment for users of all skill levels. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) interprets user specifications to provide architectural diagrams for a wide variety of application scenarios. A cloud architect generates search results responsive to a request for a cloud architecture. The search results indicate at least one example cloud architectural diagram. The cloud architect generates a request to a large language model (LLM) for a recommended cloud architecture based on the user request and the search results. The cloud architect receives a response generated by the LLM indicating at least one recommended cloud architecture. The cloud architect provides an interactive LLM response. The cloud architect enables selection of a recommended cloud architectural diagram, e.g., for deployment, manual editing, or dialog leading to automated customization. The cloud architect deploys a workload to a cloud using cloud resources determined based on the selected diagram.
