Cloud Application Configuration via Link Address Proxy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method for configuring cloud applications is cumbersome, requiring service providers to upload multiple files, including application installation files and mirror files, which complicates the process.
Innovation Solution
A cloud application-based processing method that involves obtaining a link address of a target application, downloading its installation file, creating a mirror file, determining a proxy node based on terminal device location, and deploying the mirror file to the proxy node for service provision.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If service provider provides application installation file and application mirror file for configuring cloud application, then cloud application can be deployed and provided as service, but the configuration process becomes very troublesome and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses application link addresses (URLs) as simple copies or references to application information, instead of requiring providers to upload and manage complex installation files and mirror files. The link address serves as a lightweight representation that contains all necessary information to retrieve the application, dramatically simplifying the configuration process while maintaining the ability to deploy complete applications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the essential identifying information (link address) from the complex application configuration package (installation files, mirror files, metadata), separating the minimal necessary information for configuration from the full application deployment artifacts. This allows configuration to be performed with just the link address, while the actual application files are retrieved on-demand from remote repositories.
2Productivity
If service provider uploads multiple files including application installation file and application mirror file, then complete application can be configured, but the process becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by storing application information (installation files, mirror files, metadata) in remote repositories in advance, indexed by link addresses. When configuration is needed, the system only needs to retrieve the link address and automatically fetch the necessary files from the pre-prepared repository, eliminating the need for manual file uploads and significantly reducing configuration time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces link addresses as intermediaries between the user and the complex application deployment process. Instead of directly handling multiple files, the link address acts as a mediator that automatically resolves to the complete application information, streamlining the configuration workflow and reducing the time required for setup.
3Ease of operation
If application configuration requires multiple files (installation file, mirror file), then complete application functionality can be achieved, but the configuration process becomes troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple configuration files (installation file, mirror file, metadata) into a single unified access point - the link address. This single link address encapsulates or references all necessary application information, allowing users to configure applications with a single parameter instead of managing multiple separate files, thereby improving ease of operation without sacrificing functionality.
Data Source
AI summary
Embodiments of the present application provide a cloud application-based processing method, an electronic device and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a link address of a target application; obtaining an installation file of the target application based on the link address, and making a mirror file of the target application based on the installation file; determining a proxy node of the target application based on location information of a terminal device; and deploying the mirror file of the target application to the proxy node, so as to provide a service of the target application to the terminal device based on the proxy node. Application configuring can be performed conveniently and the processing efficiency can be improved.
