Automated Cluster Deployment via Unique Identifier Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The deployment of clusters in cloud computing environments is inefficient due to the need for manual configuration and management of unique cluster member settings, which is cumbersome and not scalable.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for deploying a cluster that involves obtaining a unique identifier for each cluster member, obtaining and configuring cluster configuration information based on that identifier, and automatically deploying the cluster using tools for configuration and deployment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual configuration and management of unique cluster member settings is used, then cluster deployment can be completed, but deployment efficiency is low and the process is cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring cluster templates with all necessary settings and parameters before actual deployment. The system prepares configuration files, identifies cluster members, and sets up resource allocations in advance, so that during actual deployment, these pre-prepared elements are automatically instantiated and assigned, eliminating the need for manual configuration during the deployment process itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service through automated configuration management where the system automatically generates unique identifiers for cluster members, retrieves and applies configuration information based on those identifiers, and manages resource allocation without human intervention. The deployment system serves itself by automatically handling tasks that would otherwise require manual operator input, thereby improving deployment efficiency while reducing operational complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual configuration methods are used, then cluster setup can be achieved, but the process is not scalable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a standardized cluster configuration template that can serve multiple cluster members with different unique identifiers. The same template structure and configuration logic can be reused across numerous clusters and cluster members, allowing the system to scale from small to large deployments without increasing configuration management complexity. The universal template approach enables identical configuration patterns to be applied universally across different cluster sizes and configurations.
