Container Immutability Event Correspondence Automation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manual detection of correspondence between external operations and mutation events in container immutability is inefficient due to the large number of events generated, necessitating an automated approach.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method identifies initial processes resulting from container immutability change events based on execution time, process identifier, and process group identifier, designating corresponding external commands to establish correspondence and transform mutable containers into immutable ones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual detection of correspondence between external operations and mutation events is performed, then accuracy of identification can be maintained, but productivity is significantly reduced due to the large number of events generated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large set of mutation events into smaller groups associated with specific external operations. By dividing the monitoring scope into manageable segments (individual external operations and their corresponding mutation events), the system enables automated processing while maintaining accurate identification of correspondences between external operations and container mutations.
2Productivity
If automated computer-based approach is implemented to determine correspondence between external operations and mutation events, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that automatically correlates external operations with mutation events. This intermediary component acts as a mediator between the external operation interface and the container, automatically establishing correspondences without requiring complex manual analysis, thus improving productivity while managing system complexity through a dedicated correlation mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where mutation events generated by external operations are automatically tracked and correlated back to their source operations. This feedback loop enables automated determination of correspondences, improving productivity while the structured feedback mechanism helps manage complexity by providing clear causal relationships between operations and events.
3Ease of operation
If containers remain mutable to allow external operations, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to potential security risks and instability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by establishing immutability policies and correspondence tracking mechanisms before external operations are executed. By pre-defining which external operations are permitted and how their mutation events should be handled, the system maintains ease of operation for authorized modifications while ensuring reliability through预先 established security constraints and automated monitoring.
Data Source
AI summary
A method is provided for determining command-to-process correspondence. The method includes identifying, by the hardware processor, initial processes resulting from executions of container immutability change events for each of multiple initially mutable containers in a cluster, based on an execution time, a process identifier and a process group identifier for each of the container immutability change events. The method also includes designating, by the hardware processor, a particular external command, from among external container commands stored in a database, as having a correspondence to an initial process, responsive to the initial process matching at least one respective process resulting from executing the particular external command.
