Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern computing environments with multiple interconnected frameworks face challenges in efficient management and configuration due to disparate APIs and formats, leading to increased operational complexity and configuration errors.
Innovation Solution
An environment framework controller that interacts with various frameworks to generate a unified snapshot of computing resources, allowing for centralized automation and standardized configuration management across different frameworks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple disparate frameworks with different APIs are used to manage computing resources, then functional versatility and resource management capabilities are improved, but operational complexity and configuration error rates increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a controller as an intermediary component that sits between the user and multiple disparate framework APIs. This controller provides a unified interface that abstracts the complexity of different framework-specific APIs, allowing users to interact with all frameworks through a single standardized interface while the controller handles the translation and communication with each specific framework backend.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple disparate frameworks with different APIs are used to manage computing resources, then functional versatility is improved, but configuration error rates increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal controller that can manage multiple different framework types through a single interface. This universal design ensures consistent configuration procedures across all frameworks, reducing configuration errors by providing standardized methods for resource management that work across heterogeneous framework implementations.
Solution Approach 2:
The controller incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor configuration states and provide validation across different frameworks. By implementing standardized feedback loops and configuration verification processes, the system can detect and correct configuration errors consistently regardless of which underlying framework is being used.
3Loss of energy
If computing environments are frequently deployed and shut down, then resource conservation is improved, but deployment time and operational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by maintaining configuration snapshots and state information in the controller before actual deployment is needed. When deployment is required, the system can rapidly restore from these pre-prepared configurations rather than building environments from scratch, significantly reducing deployment time while allowing environments to be shut down for resource conservation.

AI summary
Some examples of the present disclosure relate to an environment framework controller. In one example, a computer system may transmit a first request to a first application programming interface of a first framework configured to manage a first set of computing resources. The computer system may then transmit a second request to a second application programming interface of a second framework configured to manage a second set of computing resources. In response to the first request and the second request, the computer system can receive a first configuration of the first set of computing resources and a second configuration of the second set of resources from the respective frameworks. The computer system use the first configuration and the second configuration to generate an environment snapshot of the first set of computing resources and the second set of computing resources. The computer system may then store the environment snapshot.
