Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for integrating public and proprietary clouds are costly, time-consuming, and pose data security risks, as they require deploying services across multiple clouds or complex network connections.
Innovation Solution
A cloud service method utilizing multi-cloud gateways and mapping Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) to facilitate data transmission and service interoperability between local and remote clouds, enabling seamless operation across multiple independent clouds while ensuring data security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If service products are deployed from public cloud to proprietary cloud, then data security is improved, but cost increases and implementation period extends
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a gateway as an intermediary component that connects the proprietary cloud and public cloud. The gateway enables service products to be accessed from the proprietary cloud without actually deploying them to the public cloud, thus maintaining data security while avoiding the time-consuming and costly full deployment process. The gateway acts as a mediator that allows selective access to public cloud services.
2Adaptability or versatility
If public cloud is connected with proprietary cloud through network, then service accessibility is improved, but device complexity increases and data security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway serves as a simplified intermediary that provides standardized interfaces for connecting proprietary cloud with public cloud services. Instead of complex direct network connections, the gateway handles the complexity of service routing, authentication, and data transmission, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining service accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The gateway is designed with multi-functional capabilities that can handle various types of service requests, authentication protocols, and data formats. This universal design simplifies the connection architecture by using a single gateway component for multiple purposes, reducing the need for multiple specialized connection mechanisms.
3Adaptability or versatility
If public cloud is connected with proprietary cloud through network, then service accessibility is improved, but data security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The gateway acts as a secure intermediary that implements authentication, authorization, and encryption mechanisms between the proprietary cloud and public cloud services. All data transmissions pass through the gateway which can validate security policies and encrypt sensitive information, thereby reducing data security risks while maintaining service accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts critical security functions from the network connection layer and concentrates them in the gateway component. By separating security mechanisms from the general connection infrastructure, the system can maintain open and accessible service interfaces while implementing robust security controls at the gateway level without compromising overall system security.
Data Source
AI summary
The present application provides a cloud service method, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: receiving, by a multi-cloud gateway of a local cloud, a cloud service request, where the cloud service request carries a request source address, a request ontology, an address of a target cloud service, and an address of a local cloud VPC; sending, by the multi-cloud gateway of the local cloud, the cloud service request to a multi-cloud gateway of a remote cloud according to pre-stored routing information of the target cloud service corresponding to the address of the target cloud service; receiving, by the multi-cloud gateway of the local cloud, the target data sent by the multi-cloud gateway of the remote cloud, and sending the target data to the request source address.
