The patent application (Publication Number: US20240020104A1) describes a method and system for deploying server environments within a cloud computing account using a repository of deployment tools, container files, and configuration data. The method involves providing a deployment workflow package to a customer's computing system, which retrieves container files, configuration data, and deployment tools from the repository to create and manage a cluster of processing nodes within the customer's cloud computing account. The deployment tools include an API gateway and a deployment orchestrator module to facilitate the deployment process.

Furthermore, the system allows for customization by identifying customer accounts, changing permissions for repository access, and supporting multiple sets of deployment tools for different cloud computing platforms. The deployment tools can create and deploy server environments without granting direct access to the customer's cloud computing account. The configuration data includes software dependencies and settings for running containers based on container images in the repository. Additionally, automation scripts are utilized to streamline the deployment process, and the deployment orchestrator module can automatically generate environment configurations in response to commands received through the deployment API. Overall, the method and system described in the patent application aim to simplify and enhance the deployment of server environments within cloud computing accounts through efficient use of container files, deployment tools, and configuration data.
