Orchestration Nodes for Hybrid Cloud Deployment Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In cloud computing environments, deploying applications across hybrid and multiple cloud settings is challenging due to issues like unidirectional communication between private and public clouds, high processing burdens, and the need for efficient management of virtual resources, which affects performance and security.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of orchestration nodes within the public cloud environment that can communicate with both private cloud services and virtual machines, allowing for the coordination of task execution and status reporting, thereby alleviating the burden on application services servers and enabling efficient deployment across hybrid and multiple cloud environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If application services servers directly manage deployment across hybrid cloud environments, then deployment control is maintained, but processing burden and system complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments deployment management functions by introducing intermediary orchestration nodes that handle specific cloud provider interactions. This divides the monolithic application services server responsibilities into distributed components, reducing the processing burden on central servers while maintaining deployment control through coordinated orchestration across multiple nodes.
2Productivity
If orchestration nodes are introduced to coordinate task execution, then processing burden on application services servers is reduced, but system architecture complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The orchestration nodes are designed as multi-functional components that can interact with multiple cloud providers and handle various deployment tasks. This universal design allows a single orchestration node architecture to serve multiple purposes across different cloud environments, reducing the need for specialized components and thereby limiting the increase in overall system complexity.
3Ease of manufacture
If unidirectional communication is used between private and public clouds, then security is simplified, but coordination capability and monitoring are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces orchestration nodes as intermediary components between private and public clouds. These intermediaries enable bidirectional communication and coordination while maintaining security boundaries. The orchestration nodes act as secure gateways that facilitate task coordination, status reporting, and monitoring without compromising the security simplification achieved through controlled communication channels.

AI summary
An example method is provided for a computing system in a private cloud computing environment to deploy an application in a hybrid cloud computing environment. The method may comprise generating a request to deploy an application in a public cloud environment, the request including a deployment plan that specifies one or more tasks to be executed by a virtual computing resource from a cloud provider to deploy the application. The method may comprise sending, to an orchestration node in the public cloud computing environment, the request to instruct the orchestration node to provision the virtual computing resource from the cloud provider and to cause the virtual computing resource to execute the one or more tasks. The method may further comprise receiving, from the orchestration node in the public cloud environment, status data and determining whether the application is successfully deployed in the public cloud computing environment.
