Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a single module architecture of traditional OS is applied to COS, then highly-efficient calling among COS modules is achieved, but the coupling is close, the structure is complicated, and the system is hard to extend
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the cloud operating system into independent member units with standardized interfaces. Each member can be independently developed, deployed, and scaled, resolving the contradiction by dividing the monolithic system into modular components that maintain efficient internal communication while enabling external extensibility through standardized member interfaces.
2Device complexity
If a layer architecture is applied to COS, then the organization structure and dependency relationship among various modules is clear, but the software stack layer is so deep that the core is too large, and the coupling degree among modules is still relatively high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a vertical layered architecture to a horizontal member-based architecture. Instead of stacking layers, the system organizes functionality into peer-level members that can be distributed across multiple processing nodes, reducing the depth of the software stack and enabling true distributed processing while maintaining clear organizational structure through member relationships.
3Adaptability or versatility
If existing cloud management architecture based on message queue is applied, then loosely coupled architecture is achieved, but there is no member-oriented design, cannot control the member life period, and modules need to consider scaling and high-available methods by themselves
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service mechanisms at the member level, where members automatically manage their own lifecycle (creation, activation, deactivation, deletion), scaling, and high-availability configurations through standardized interfaces. This eliminates the need for external coordination while maintaining loose coupling, as each member autonomously handles its own operational concerns.
4Device complexity
If existing communication protocol based on unstateful assumption is applied to stateful member processing cluster, then simple protocol design is achieved, but cannot achieve high availability and high performance support for stateful members
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the statefulness parameter of the communication protocol to support both stateful and unstateful members. By introducing state awareness into the protocol while maintaining backward compatibility, the system achieves high availability for stateful members through proper state management and failure recovery mechanisms, without significantly increasing protocol complexity.
5Device complexity
If tree-based routing algorithm is applied to horizontal scaling processing cluster, then hierarchical routing structure is achieved, but the efficiency is influenced by the enlargement of the keyword scale
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic routing mechanism that adapts to the scale of the processing cluster. The routing algorithm dynamically adjusts its strategy based on the number of members and the scale of keywords, transitioning between hierarchical and flat routing approaches as needed, thereby maintaining efficient routing performance regardless of cluster size while preserving a structured routing framework.
