A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928521B2) outlines a computer-implemented method for creating and editing a machine pool with bring your own machine (BYOM). The method involves creating and editing a machine pool with a static list of cloud machines, comparing user input and existing machine lists to identify changes, creating a new machine specification that is immutable and includes a license key, and moving or importing cloud machines to the new specification. Additionally, the method includes replacing expired license keys with new ones to facilitate connections to a cloud-based ecosystem.

Furthermore, the patent describes a computer program and system embodying the method outlined above. The computer program, stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, is configured to create and edit machine pools with BYOM, replace expired license keys, randomly generate new license keys, identify machines for rotation out of the pool, and manage machine probation states. The system includes memory to store computer-executable instructions and processors to execute these instructions, enabling the creation, editing, and management of machine pools with BYOM. Overall, the patent provides a detailed framework for efficiently managing machine pools in a cloud-based ecosystem, ensuring seamless operation and connectivity for cloud machines.
