  • Publication number: 20210081194
    Abstract: Discussed are DevOps systems, methods, and apparatuses that provide a solution for organizing, reporting, and facilitating the automation of deploying infrastructure, platform, and application code for an IT enterprise. A logical data model for organizing components of the DevOps approach may include inventories for systems, environments, applications, resources, and deployments. A set of components may be built to provide an organizational structure to collect, report, and facilitate the automation of applications and the deployments of those applications across the enterprise. An artifact inventory may be used to request a deployment of specific versions of artifacts to an environment, providing a complete picture of what the environment should contain after a deployment. This inventory may be linked to business-level system inventory tracking as well as low-level computing resource tracking to provide a complete picture of total cost of ownership.

  • Publication number: 20200349143
    Abstract: A system includes a first computing device, a second computing device, and a third computing device. The first computing device is configured to identify a first event and store a first event code, a plurality of first entry codes, and first information associated with each of the plurality of entry codes. The second computing device is configured to derive a plurality of first translated event codes based on the first event code and a plurality of first translated entry codes for each of the plurality of first entry codes. The second computing device is further configured to determine whether the plurality of first entry codes were successfully derived. The third computing device is configured to read the first journal entry of the second database and determine, based on the indication that the plurality of first translated entry codes were successfully derived, to perform a first task.
