The patent application (Publication Number: US20230421489A1) describes a method for provisioning a uniform resource locator (URL) to application deployments on cloud computing platforms. The method involves generating a URL related to an application, connecting agents to the URL, sending authentication information to the agents, and inserting the authentication information into a routing mesh. The discovery and routing service locates the agent based on label comparisons and connects it with traffic to and from the routing mesh. The method also includes terminating traffic based on Transport Layer Security (TLS) requests and sending configuration information to the discovery and routing service for selecting configurations.

Furthermore, the patent application includes claims for a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for executing the provisioning method and an electronic device with processors configured to generate URLs, connect agents, send authentication information, and locate agents based on label comparisons. The electronic device is also capable of terminating traffic based on TLS requests and sending application configuration information to the discovery and routing service. The method ensures secure and efficient provisioning of URLs for application deployments on cloud computing platforms, with a focus on authentication, routing, and configuration selection based on label matching. The technology described in the patent application aims to streamline the deployment process and enhance the performance of applications in cloud environments.
