Auto Provisioning Application Packages via Virtualization Coordinator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of loading and publishing applications in a remote computing system, such as Terminal Services, is time-consuming and tedious, requiring manual installation and publication, which hinders efficiency.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an auto provisioning and publication process that uses a virtualization coordinator to identify and install application packages on a server, and a publishing module to automatically make these applications accessible to users through a web interface, reducing latency and improving efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual installation and publication of applications is performed, then applications can be loaded onto the server and made accessible to users, but the process is time-consuming and tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service automation where the server automatically detects application packages in the file system, coordinates with the virtualization coordinator, and publishes applications to the web interface without requiring manual administrator intervention for each step, thereby reducing time and effort
Solution Approach 2:
Application packages are pre-stored in the server's file system in a ready-to-deploy state. The automatic provisioning system continuously monitors and detects these pre-positioned packages, enabling rapid deployment without waiting for manual installation procedures
2Ease of operation
If automatic provisioning is implemented, then the time and effort required is reduced, but system complexity increases due to coordination between multiple components
Solution Approach 1:
The virtualization coordinator acts as an intermediary component that bridges the file system monitoring and web interface publication processes. It receives notifications about application packages, coordinates the provisioning logic, and manages the publication workflow, thereby organizing system complexity through a centralized mediation layer

AI summary
Techniques for auto provisioning and publication of applications are described. The auto provisioning process enables automatic installation of applications having their respective file packages pre-stored in the server. Subsequently, publication of these applications is conducted automatically. By employing such an automatic process, the latency involved in provisioning and publication of remote applications is reduced, thereby making the process more efficient.
