Centralized request processing and security zone policy enforcement in a cloud infrastructure system
Patent number: 12261889Abstract: A cloud-based security solution that provides a robust and secure framework for managing and enforcing security policies related to various resources managed in the cloud is disclosed. The cloud-based security solution is implemented by a centralized application programming Interface (API) system and a security zone policy enforcement system in a cloud service provider infrastructure. The centralized API system receives an API request that identifies an operation to be performed on a resource in the CSPI. The system determines, from the API request, compartment information and context information associated with the resource. Responsive to determining the compartment information and the context information associated with the resource, the system determines that the resource resides in a compartment that is associated with a security zone. The system then processes the API request and transmits a result of processing of the API request to a user of the centralized API processing system.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Sreenivas Gattu, Qian Wei, Jonathan Jorge Nadal, Jun Tong, Thoulfekar Alrahem -

Patent number: 12254900Abstract: A data object has a lock and a condition indicator associated with it. Based at least partly on detecting a first setting of the condition indicator, a reader stores an indication that the reader has obtained read access to the data object in an element of a readers structure and reads the data object without acquiring the lock. A writer detects the first setting and replaces it with a second setting, indicating that the lock is to be acquired by readers before reading the data object. Prior to performing a write on the data object, the writer verifies that one or more elements of the readers structure have been cleared.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2024Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: David Dice, Alex Kogan

Patent number: 12254317Abstract: A computer comprising one or more processors and memory may implement multiple threads that perform a lock operation using a data structure comprising an allocation field and a grant field. Upon entry to a lock operation, a thread allocates a ticket by atomically copying a ticket value contained in the allocation field and incrementing the allocation field. The thread compares the allocated ticket to the grant field. If they are unequal, the thread determines a number of waiting threads. If the number is above the threshold, the thread enters a long term wait operation comprising determining a location for long term wait value and waiting on changes to that value. If the number is below the threshold or the long term wait operation is complete, the thread waits for the grant value to equal the ticket to indicate that the lock is allocated.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2024Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: David Dice, Alex Kogan

Patent number: 12253915Abstract: Techniques discussed herein manage backups of a service cell (SC). Each SC may include a data plane that is isolated from other SCs and comprises a distributed computing cluster (a cluster). A manifest that specifies one or more backup policies may be used to generate a full backup or a partial backup of a data set stored by the cluster. In accordance with the manifest, a signal may be sent to nodes of the cluster. In response, the nodes may transmit locally-stored data (e.g., data segments) to specified locations at a remote storage. The system may maintain a mapping of which segments correspond to data that was stored in the cluster at a time corresponding to a full or partial backup.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2023Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Shmuel Herman, Gabriel Thomas Hurley

Patent number: 12254027Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a consensus protocol with a priority-based leadership election approach. Each server or node in the cluster has an associated priority based on the capabilities and capacities of the servers. The leadership election is divided into two phases: a term increase phase and an election voting phase. A candidate sends a message to peers in the cluster to determine whether all peers agree to allow the candidate to increase the term number. If there is no opposition, then the candidate increases the term number and then proceeds to the election voting phase. Each peer determines whether the candidate requesting the term increase has a log that is up to date. If the log of the candidate is equally as advanced as the peer's log, then the peer approves or opposes the term increase based on a priority comparison.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2024Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Saeed Abedigozalabad, Thakur Vishwesh Singh, Vijay Sridharan, Nilesh Choudhury, Mehrnoosh Raoufi

Patent number: 12249314Abstract: Techniques are described for invoking and switching between chatbots of a chatbot system. In some embodiments, the chatbot system is capable of routing an utterance received while a user is already interacting with a first chatbot in the chatbot system. For instance, the chatbot system may identify a second chatbot based on determining that (i) such an utterance is an invalid input to the first chatbot or (ii) that the first chatbot is attempting to route the utterance to a destination associated with the first chatbot. Identifying the second chatbot can involve computing, using a predictive model, separate confidence scores for the first chatbot and the second chatbot, and then determining that a confidence score for the second chatbot satisfies one or more confidence score thresholds. The utterance is then routed to the second chatbot based on the identifying of the second chatbot.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2023Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Vishal Vishnoi, Xin Xu, Srinivasa Phani Kumar Gadde, Fen Wang, Muruganantham Chinnananchi, Manish Parekh, Stephen Andrew McRitchie, Jae Min John, Crystal C.
