Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional hardware deployments in distributed computing systems face inefficiencies due to manual intervention in handling dynamic infrastructure changes, leading to resource under-utilization, over-provisioning, and potential service interruptions.

Innovation Solution

A system that dynamically migrates services in composable systems by detecting changes in node capabilities, determining resource requirements, and selecting appropriate nodes within defined resource ranges to ensure efficient resource utilization, thereby adapting to environmental changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual intervention is used to handle dynamic infrastructure changes, then service stability is maintained, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates due to under-utilization and over-provisioning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidmanual intervention complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service through automated service migration capabilities. The orchestration system automatically detects infrastructure changes, evaluates resource requirements, selects appropriate target nodes, and executes service migration without manual intervention. This eliminates the need for manual operations while maintaining service stability and optimizing resource utilization through dynamic adaptation to changing infrastructure conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If services are statically allocated to nodes, then system simplicity is maintained, but adaptability to environmental changes deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to environmental changesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamics by enabling services to be dynamically migrated between nodes based on changing infrastructure conditions. The orchestration system continuously monitors node capabilities and service resource requirements, automatically relocating services to optimize resource utilization. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to environmental changes while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Speed

If edge devices are used to bring computing power closer to data sources, then latency is reduced, but resource constraints and geographic isolation worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse speedVSAvoidavailable resources
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements universality by creating a multi-functional orchestration framework that can manage services across diverse node types including edge devices and central infrastructure. The service migration capability allows resources to be shared and redistributed across the entire system, enabling edge devices to fulfill multiple roles and access additional resources from other nodes when needed, thereby overcoming local resource constraints while maintaining low latency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Some examples of the present disclosure relate to dynamic service deployments for composable systems. In one particular example, a system can detect a change to a set of capabilities of nodes. The system can determine, in response to detecting the change, a resource requirement for a service being deployed using the nodes. The system can determine an upper value and a lower value defining a range of resource amounts for a node that is to execute the service based on the resource requirement. The system can select a first node for executing the service based on the first node having a first resource amount within the range of resource amounts. The system can cause an action associated with executing the service using the first node in response to selecting the first node.
