Ephemeral Feedback Instances in Dynamic Network Clouds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current feedback instances in user-defined network clouds are statically established and fail to scale in highly virtualized, real-time, and dynamic environments, leading to inefficiencies in identifying and addressing anomalies.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of dynamic feedback instance management, where a policy engine can create, modify, or escalate feedback instances based on policy requests, involving entities like feedback instance resolvers, orchestrators, and coordinators to manage and optimize feedback loops.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If feedback instances are constructed statically to identify and solve known anomalies, then the feedback instances can be reliably executed, but they fail to scale in highly virtualized, real-time, and dynamic environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static feedback instances into dynamic, ephemeral feedback instances that can be created, modified, and terminated in real-time based on current network conditions. The feedback instance manager dynamically provisions feedback instances based on detected anomalies and network state, allowing the system to adapt to changing environments while maintaining reliable execution through policy-driven control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If feedback instances are made dynamic and ephemeral to enable real-time adaptation, then scalability and flexibility improve, but the complexity of managing feedback instances increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a feedback instance manager as an intermediary component that mediates between policy decisions and feedback instance execution. This manager handles the complexity of dynamic provisioning, modification, and termination of feedback instances, shielding other system components from the underlying complexity while enabling real-time adaptation through policy-driven control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the feedback instance manager monitors the execution of feedback instances and adjusts them based on detected anomalies and network conditions. This feedback loop enables real-time adaptation while managing complexity through automated policy-driven adjustments rather than manual intervention.
3Speed
If feedback instances are created and modified in near-real time to respond to anomalies, then the system responds faster to issues, but the time and resources required for service development and modification increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-defines feedback instance templates and policies that can be rapidly instantiated when anomalies are detected. Instead of creating feedback instances from scratch during response time, the system prepares predefined templates that can be deployed in near-real-time, reducing both the time required for service development and the speed of anomaly response.
Data Source
AI summary
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to ephemeral feedback instances. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a policy engine can receive data and a policy request from a policy requestor. The policy engine also can determine whether a policy is available to satisfy the policy request. If the policy engine determines that a policy is available to satisfy the policy request, the policy engine can retrieve, from a policy repository, the policy to satisfy the request and can instruct one or more policy enforcement points to enforce the policy. If the policy engine determines that a policy is not available to satisfy the policy request, the policy engine can perform a feedback instance method to satisfy the policy request.
