Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cloud environment resolution techniques lack a systematic approach for prioritizing multi-tenant incidents, often relying on human estimation and resulting in cost-intensive delays and outages due to arbitrary selection of resolution order.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of artificial intelligence techniques to automatically classify cloud infrastructure components, using historical data to prioritize incident-related resolution by training machine learning algorithms and neural networks to predict the priority class of runtime engines, thereby optimizing operational resources and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If conventional cloud environment resolution techniques are used, then all customer incidents are assigned the same level of priority, but this results in arbitrary selection of resolution order and cost-intensive delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincident resolution processVSAvoidresolution delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of incident priority from a uniform state to a differentiated state based on multiple factors including customer tier, service level agreement, incident severity, and runtime engine criticality. This allows the system to automatically assign different priority levels to different incidents, eliminating arbitrary selection and reducing resolution delays for critical incidents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual human estimation process for determining resolution order with an automated machine learning system. The trained model automatically classifies incidents into priority categories based on historical data and multiple input features, substituting human judgment with a systematic automated classification mechanism that consistently applies priority rules.

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

2Extent of automation

If manual estimation and arbitrary selection are used for determining resolution order, then human resources are required for prioritization, but this results in human resource constraints and operational bottlenecks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincident prioritization processVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically classifying and prioritizing incidents without requiring human intervention. The machine learning model takes incident data as input and autonomously determines priority levels, enabling the system to manage its own incident resolution queue without human operational overhead.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses historical incident data and resolution outcomes as feedback to train and improve the machine learning model. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from past performance and continuously refine its prioritization accuracy, improving operational efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If all runtime engines are treated equally regardless of priority, then operational simplicity is maintained, but this results in inability to address critical incidents promptly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecritical incident responseVSAvoidprioritization system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the incident population into distinct priority categories based on multiple dimensions including customer tier (enterprise, strategic, standard), service level agreement level, incident severity, and runtime engine criticality. This segmentation allows the system to apply different response strategies to different incident types, ensuring critical incidents receive immediate attention while maintaining a manageable classification structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
