Cross-Zone Data Processing via Proxy Layer Protocol Translation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Cross-zone data communication in cloud environments is complex due to differing policies and protocols, leading to increased computational and financial burdens in developing and maintaining program code, with traditional solutions being cumbersome and expensive.
Innovation Solution
A framework that decouples business logic from communication logic into separate layers, using a proxy and RPC layer to abstract protocol and security differences across zones, allowing seamless communication without altering entity-specific logic.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data communication follows multiple zone-specific policies and protocols, then data security and compliance are improved, but development complexity and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a proxy layer as an intermediary component that sits between the application logic and the diverse zone-specific systems. This proxy layer handles protocol translation, authentication, and policy enforcement, allowing the core application to work with a unified interface while the proxy manages the complexity of multiple zone policies and protocols
2Adaptability or versatility
If separate code repositories are maintained for each zone, then zone-specific requirements are met, but development time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the system into two distinct layers: a unified application layer with shared business logic that can be maintained in a single code repository, and a proxy layer that is zone-specific and handles protocol adaptations. This segmentation allows the core application to remain simple and reusable across zones, while the proxy layer absorbs the zone-specific complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new architectural dimension by inserting the proxy layer between the application and the zone-specific systems. This additional layer provides protocol translation and adaptation capabilities, allowing the application to work with multiple zones through a unified interface without requiring separate code repositories for each zone
3Ease of operation
If traditional cloud gateway solutions are used for cross-zone communication, then communication between zones is enabled, but computational resources and financial costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal proxy layer that can handle multiple zone protocols and communication patterns through a single implementation. The proxy layer provides multi-functional capabilities including protocol translation, authentication, authorization, and data transformation, eliminating the need for separate gateway solutions for each zone pair and reducing overall computational overhead
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques are disclosed for implementing cross-zone communication for computing zones executing different coding protocols. A server computer system may receive, via a proxy layer of a first instance of an application executing within a first computing zone according to a first set of coding protocols, a request for a service executed via a second instance of the application in a second computing zone according to a second, different set of coding protocols. The system may alter, via a remote layer of the first instance, a set of data specified in the request to comply with the second, set of protocols. The system may transmit, via the remote layer of the first instance to a remote layer of the second instance, the altered set of data. The system may advantageously provide a simplified development interface allowing for both development and testing within a local environment without deployment of multiple different services.
