Managing configurations for multi-cloud computing environments
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11863389B2) discloses a system that involves maintaining multiple workspaces in a multi-cloud computing environment. These workspaces store configurations for cloud-based IT infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network resources for hosting cloud-based applications. The system pulls configuration files from a version controller, merges them into the workspaces, generates execution plans, and applies new configurations to the infrastructure. The configurations can be specific to different resource types and iterations, supporting various environments like development, staging, and production. Additionally, the workspaces can be associated with different user teams, ensuring access control and security.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a computer-implemented method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for maintaining workspaces in a multi-cloud environment. The method involves similar operations of pulling configuration files, merging them into workspaces, generating execution plans, and applying new configurations to the infrastructure. These configurations can be specific to different resource types, iterations, and user teams, ensuring efficient management and deployment of cloud-based applications. The disclosed system aims to streamline the process of configuring and managing cloud infrastructure across different environments and resource types, enhancing flexibility and scalability in multi-cloud computing environments.
