  • Patent number: 11347442
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a specialized in-memory database abstraction component is introduced in a cloud cluster. The in-memory database abstraction component may receive lifecycle commands from a client-facing application and interface with a container service to create an in-memory database resource. When parameters are received by the in-memory database abstraction component from the client-facing application, the in-memory database abstraction component may act to validate the parameters, determine if a service plan is available, and determine whether the parameters meet the service plan requirements. If the service plan requirements are not met, the in-memory database abstraction component translates the parameters for the in-memory database resource.

  • Patent number: 11341094
    Abstract: Embodiments control software hosted by cloud providers and private clouds. Operational data received from the software correlates: •a time, •a user at the time, and •a software component accessed by the user at the time. The operational data relates to resources (e.g., storage, computational, network) that are consumed. Experiential data characterizing a quality of user interaction, is also received. The experiential data may be derived from operational data (e.g., inferred from time lags), or received separately as feedback. Operational data and experiential data are processed according to a ruleset or a neural network. Based upon the result, which optimizes towards costs, experience data (e.g., time lags) or policies (e.g. security constraints), a command causes an actuator to act upon the software. The actuator may trigger movement to a different host (e.g. different cloud provider). The move functionality, if applied to many customers at once, embodies a cloud provider switch service.
