Publication number: 20230325204Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Caleb Dockter, Nathaniel Martin Glass, Eric Tyler Barsalou

Publication number: 20230273834Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Nathaniel Martin Glass
