  • Patent number: 12754773
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses where a controller can automatically manage a physical infrastructure of a computer system based on a plurality of system rules, a system state for the computer system, and a plurality of templates. Techniques for automatically adding resources such as computer, storage, and/or networking resources to the computer system are described. Also described are techniques for automatically deploying applications and services on such resources. Also described are techniques for spawning computing environments. These techniques provide a scalable computer system that can serve as a turnkey scalable private cloud.

  • Patent number: 12461790
    Abstract: A system can be configured to automatically deploy clusters of clusterable services. For example, controller can deploy a plurality of copies of an application, and these applications can interdepend on each other. The controller can also configure a scheduler to manage (which may include load balancing) these applications. A service template used by the controller can include clustering rules, and these clustering rules can tell the controller how to connect those services. The clustering rules can be a set of logic instructions and/or templates that provide for the deployment of a service to a plurality of resources. Coupling instructions in the clustering rules define the coordination and interaction of separately booked physical and/or virtual resources and set up dependencies. The clustering rules define the use of information to scale up or scale down resources being used by a service.
