Unified Software Integration Pipeline for Multi-Cloud Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Software development teams face challenges in integrating and analyzing customized code against multiple benchmarks, such as bugs, vulnerabilities, and compliance standards, and in creating platform-agnostic solutions, particularly in cloud and distributed computing environments, where existing tools are limited in scope and often tie developers to specific company ecosystems.
Innovation Solution
A robust software integration process focused on compliance, incorporating a unified ecosystem for developers to build, analyze, and deploy code across various cloud platforms, ensuring security and compliance with industry standards, including intellectual knowledge, and allowing for re-factoring to operate on multiple cloud environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If developers use company-specific tools and compute space, then they can leverage company products and solutions, but they become tied to the company's ecosystem and lose platform agnosticism
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal pipeline framework that can operate across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) and on-premise environments. The pipeline uses platform-agnostic tools and interfaces, allowing the same development workflow to function universally without being tied to a single company's ecosystem, thereby achieving multi-functionality across diverse computing environments
2Measurement precision
If multiple separate tools are used to scan for bugs, vulnerabilities, and compliance standards, then each aspect can be analyzed in depth, but the integration complexity increases and comprehensive analysis becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate analysis tools (bug scanners, vulnerability detectors, compliance analyzers) into a unified pipeline framework. This consolidation allows comprehensive code analysis across security, compliance, and quality dimensions while reducing integration complexity through a single standardized interface and workflow management system
3Adaptability or versatility
If a unified pipeline framework is implemented across multiple cloud platforms, then platform agnosticism is achieved, but the system complexity and integration challenges increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary abstraction layer that mediates between the pipeline framework and various cloud platforms. This intermediary handles platform-specific protocols and interfaces, allowing the core pipeline to remain platform-agnostic while automatically adapting to different cloud environments through standardized communication protocols and authentication mechanisms
Data Source
AI summary
There is provided a system, including an application configured to cause a computing system to execute a set of instructions. The system also includes a back-end engine configured to render the application compatible for deployment on each of at least two cloud environments, wherein the at least two cloud environments have different architectures or protocols.
