Geo-Redundant Cloud Server Sync for Selective Disaster Failover

The patent segments the monolithic failover decision into granular component-level health assessments. Instead of treating the entire operational site as a single unit that must completely fail before switching, the system evaluates individual network components (servers, microservices, databases) independently. This allows selective failover of only the affected components while keeping healthy components operational, thus maintaining resource utilization while ensuring disaster recovery capability.

The patent applies local quality by enabling different health states and operational modes for different components within the same site. Rather than applying a uniform failover policy to the entire operational site, the system allows some components to remain operational while others are failed over to the DR site. This localized approach optimizes resource utilization by keeping healthy resources active while still providing comprehensive disaster recovery protection.

The patent merges the update management of OP and DR sites into a unified system. The health assessment mechanism and automated configuration synchronization create a single source of truth for microservice versions and configurations. When updates are applied to one site, the system automatically detects the version mismatch and synchronizes the other site, eliminating the need for manual updates at both locations and reducing operational complexity.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor microservice versions and health states across OP and DR sites. The load balancer receives health information from both sites and automatically detects version mismatches. This feedback loop triggers automated synchronization processes that update the DR site to match the OP site (or vice versa), eliminating manual intervention and reducing both operational complexity and time consumption while maintaining system consistency.

The patent introduces dynamic configuration management where the DR site's microservice deployment state is no longer static but continuously adapted based on the health and version state of the OP site. The system dynamically synchronizes configurations, enabling the DR site to have a subset of services or different versions based on actual operational needs. This dynamic approach maintains disaster recovery capability while reducing resource wastage by avoiding unnecessary duplication of all services.

The patent changes the parameter of DR site configuration from fixed (same as OP site) to variable (adaptive based on health information and synchronization parameters). The system allows different deployment states, version configurations, and service subsets at the DR site depending on the operational requirements and health status. This parameter flexibility enables optimized resource allocation while maintaining the ability to recover critical functions during disasters.

The patent segments the monolithic data synchronization process into granular, component-specific synchronization operations. Instead of synchronizing all stateful data uniformly across the entire system, the health assessment mechanism identifies and synchronizes only the data related to affected components. This segmented approach reduces synchronization scope and time while maintaining consistency for the critical data that actually needs to be synchronized.

The patent applies partial action by synchronizing only the necessary subset of stateful data rather than performing complete unified synchronization. The health information and synchronization parameters enable the system to identify which specific data elements require synchronization based on component health status and version mismatches. This partial synchronization approach significantly reduces time consumption while maintaining data consistency for the operational requirements.
