Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for a streamlined process to ensure security audit compliance, data integrity, and resiliency compliance within container orchestration environments, particularly for microservices, which involves reconfiguring containers and identifying common attributes such as security configurations and network policies, which can be challenging for IT operations and developers.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented process using augmented reality (AR) to configure containers for microservices, where a grid with multiple axes representing different configuration parameters is displayed, allowing users to move container representations to desired positions, automatically or manually, for reconfiguration based on compliance requirements and historical data, with machine learning and blockchain-enabled tracking.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automated container deployment using container orchestration is used, then deployment efficiency and compliance enforcement are improved, but the complexity of configuring and reconfiguring containers to meet security and resiliency requirements increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional complex configuration interface into a three-dimensional virtual reality environment where container configurations are represented as visual objects in spatial space. This dimensional transformation allows users to interact with complex configuration parameters through intuitive spatial manipulation rather than navigating complex menus or code, thereby maintaining high deployment efficiency while reducing configuration complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an AI assistant as an intermediary between the user and the container orchestration system. This AI assistant automatically generates configuration code, provides compliance guidance, and handles routine configuration tasks, thereby reducing the complexity of container configuration while maintaining efficient deployment through automated workflows.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual reconfiguration of containers is performed to ensure compliance, then configuration accuracy can be achieved, but the time and effort required increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service automation where the container orchestration system automatically monitors compliance requirements, detects configuration drift, and performs corrective reconfiguration actions without human intervention. The system uses embedded compliance rules and automated workflows to ensure configuration accuracy while eliminating the time loss associated with manual reconfiguration tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates continuous feedback mechanisms where the system monitors container configurations against compliance requirements in real-time. When deviations are detected, the system automatically triggers reconfiguration workflows and provides feedback to users about compliance status, ensuring configuration accuracy while minimizing the time required through automated detection and correction cycles.
3Reliability
If comprehensive compliance monitoring and tracking are implemented, then security and data integrity are improved, but the system complexity and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an AI assistant as an intermediary that handles complex compliance monitoring and tracking tasks. The AI assistant automatically analyzes configuration changes, checks compliance against multiple requirements, and generates reports, thereby improving security compliance while reducing system complexity by centralizing these functions in an intelligent agent rather than distributing complexity throughout the entire system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal compliance monitoring framework that can handle multiple compliance requirements, security standards, and regulatory frameworks through a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach improves security compliance coverage while reducing system complexity by consolidating what would otherwise require multiple separate monitoring systems into one unified platform.

AI summary
An augmented reality (AR) container orchestration system includes computer hardware including an AR system and a container orchestration platform. The AR system is configured to perform identifying a container to be deployed, displaying, to a user, a grid having a plurality of cells each of which are configured to receive a representation of the container, and redisplaying, using the AR system and to the user, the grid based upon a movement of the representation of the container to a particular position within the grid. The container orchestration platform is configured to perform identifying possible configurations for the container, and configuring the container based upon the movement of the representation of the container to the particular position. The includes a plurality of axes, and each axis of the plurality of axis represents a different configuration-related parameter of the configurations for the container.
