  • Publication number: 20230325204
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing dependencies in an orchestration service. A computer-implemented method can include operations performed by a declarative infrastructure provisioner (DIP). In some embodiments, the DIP parses configuration data associated with a computing system and generates a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for booting a first resource. The DAG may specify a dependency of the first resource on a capability of a second resource. The DIP may traverse the DAG and determine, based at least in part on the traversal, that the dependency has been reached. The DIP may publish, to a scheduling process, an indication that the first resource is awaiting availability of the capability of the second resource. In some embodiments, the DIP receives a subsequent indication that the capability is available, regenerates the DAG, and recommences traversal of the DAG. Additional operations for booting the first resource may be performed in accordance with the recommenced traversal.

  • Publication number: 20230328114
    Abstract: A cloud-based security solution that provides a robust and secure framework for managing and enforcing security policies related to various resources managed in the cloud is disclosed. The cloud-based security solution is implemented by a security zone policy enforcement system in a cloud service provider infrastructure. The system receives a request to perform an operation on a resource and determines a compartment associated with the resource. The system determines that the compartment is associated with a security zone and determines a set of one or more security zone policies applicable to the resource. The system then determines that the operation on the resource is permitted based on the set of one or more security zone policies and responsive to determining that the operation on the resource is permitted, allows the operation to be performed on the resource.

  • Publication number: 20230273834
    Abstract: Techniques for preventing concurrent execution of an infrastructure orchestration service are described. Worker nodes can receive instructions, or tasks, for deploying infrastructure resources and can provide heartbeat notifications to scheduler nodes, also considered a lease. A signing proxy can track the heartbeat notifications sent from the worker nodes to the scheduler node. The signing proxy can receive requests corresponding to a performance of the tasks assigned to the worker nodes. The signing proxy can determine whether the lease between each worker node and the scheduler is valid. If the lease is valid, the signing proxy may make a call to services on behalf of the worker node, and if the lease is not valid, the signing proxy may not make a call to services on behalf of the worker node. Instead, the signing proxy may cut off all outgoing network traffic, blocking access of the worker node to services.

  • Patent number: 11740943
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing an infrastructure orchestration service are described. In some examples, a declarative provisioner of the infrastructure orchestration service receives instructions for deployment of a resource. The declarative provisioner identifies that the deployment of the resource is a long-running task stores state information corresponding to the deployment of the resource. In certain embodiments, upon identifying that the deployment of the resource is a long-running task, the declarative provisioner pauses its execution of the long-running task. Responsive to a trigger received from the infrastructure orchestration service, the declarative provisioner resumes execution of the deployment of the resource using the state information and transmits deployment information corresponding to the deployment of the resource to the infrastructure orchestration service.
