Cloud Orchestration System for Resource Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cloud computing environments face challenges in efficiently managing and coordinating vast resources, leading to inefficiencies, incoherence, redundancy, and security issues due to the complexity of tools and resources available.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of an orchestration system that automates the management of user-defined system components for high availability, monitoring, and persistence, allowing users to specify relationships and policies across cloud objects, including computational resources, networks, and services, enabling coordinated management of complex processes across multiple clouds.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If cloud computing provides vast resources and tools, then computing capability and storage capacity are improved, but system complexity and difficulty of organization increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments cloud resource management into distinct functional components: resource provisioning, coordination, monitoring, and billing. Each component operates independently but interacts through standardized interfaces, making the complex system manageable and organized while maintaining access to vast computing resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary layers including cloud brokers, resource managers, and coordination systems that mediate between users and the underlying complex infrastructure. These intermediaries abstract the complexity, allowing users to access vast resources without directly managing the organizational complexity of the cloud environment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cloud services and resources are coordinated, then functionality and versatility are improved, but coordination difficulty and management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universal coordination mechanisms and standardized APIs that can manage diverse cloud services through common interfaces. The resource coordination system provides multi-functional capabilities to handle provisioning, monitoring, billing, and security across different cloud services, reducing coordination difficulty despite increased versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter-based configuration and policy-driven management to adapt the coordination system to different cloud services. By changing parameters and policies rather than reconfiguring entire systems, the patent maintains versatility while simplifying coordination management.
3Productivity
If cloud resources are distributed across multiple locations, then resource availability and scalability are improved, but system coherence and security management become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms including centralized monitoring systems that track resource states across distributed locations and provide real-time information to coordination systems. This feedback enables automatic adjustments to maintain system coherence and security policies across scaled-out infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies equipotentiality by establishing consistent security policies, access controls, and management interfaces across all distributed cloud locations. This ensures that regardless of geographic distribution, all resources operate under the same coherence standards and security requirements.

AI summary
Methods and systems of managing computer cloud resources, including at least one database, at least one server configured to, act as an orchestration site, wherein the orchestration site is configured to receive at least one cloud resource management plan from at least one user and store the at least one plan in the at least one database and act as an orchestration manager. The orchestration manager is configured to retrieve the at least one plan from the at least one database and execute the plan with at least one site controller.
