  • Pluggable allocation in a cloud computing system
    Patent number: 10516623
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a cloud computing system provides user extensibility by providing a plugin interface for major systems. Plugin interfaces for a compute service, object service, network service, authentication and authorization service, message service, and image service are disclosed. One or more of the plugin interfaces can be used to alter the allocation of virtual to physical resources across multiple services. Compound services and smart allocation facilities are possible with user-directed modification.

  • Two-Sided Declarative Configuration for Cloud Deployment
    Publication number: 20140280805
    Abstract: An example system for managing an application deployment in a cloud computing environment includes a configuration engine to receive an architectural declarative description of an application, a set of environments in which to deploy an instance of the application, and a user input that is specific to the instance. The architectural declarative description includes a declarative multi-node description for an application deployment. The configuration engine determines a desired state of the application deployment in accordance with the architectural declarative description. The example system includes a plurality of target deployment engines and a target selection engine to select a set of target deployment engines based on an environment. The set of target deployment engines communicates with one or more service providers to determine the available resources in the environment.
