Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a pattern-based cloud architecture facilitating deployment of pattern-based cloud applications are presented. The pattern-based cloud architecture comprises a base layer having one or more bases, a landing zone layer comprising one or more landing zones within each base, and an application pattern layer comprising one or more application patters for each landing zone. Each base provides base services and/or parameters common to all landing zones associated with such base. Each landing zone adds services and/or parameters specific to such landing zone, while inheriting those of the associated base. Application patterns define the requirements and capability of cloud-based applications that can be run within each associated landing zone.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a pattern-based cloud architecture facilitating deployment of pattern-based cloud applications are presented. The pattern-based cloud architecture may comprise a base layer having at least a primary base, with each base supporting one or more landing zones of a landing zone layer. Each landing zone further supports one or more application patterns for cloud applications in an application pattern layer. Implementing the base layer includes receiving a set of base services and operating parameters defining a primary base and executing scripts to configure the primary base for providing the set of base services and operating parameters to any landing zones associated with such primary base. A bootstrap isolation entity may be established prior to and for the purpose of executing the scripts to implement the primary base. Additional bases may be implemented in the base layer by executing additional scripts within the primary base layer.

Each landing zone further supports one or more application patterns for cloud applications in an application pattern layer. Implementing a landing zone within the landing zone layer includes receiving indications of an associated base and a set of landing zone services and landing zone operating parameters, then executing scripts to configure the landing zone a cloud computing environment. The scripts configure the landing zone according to the landing zone services and landing zone operating parameters, as well as base services and base operating parameters of the base associated with the landing zone.

Abstract: To deploy software resources in a cloud service according to an application pattern, a computing device implements an application pattern layer comprising one or more application patterns for one or more types of software resources deployed in a cloud service. Each application pattern includes a set of operating parameters defining aspects of a cloud computing environment. The computing device obtains a particular software resource for deployment in the cloud service, assigns the particular software resource to a particular one of the one or more application patterns, and runs the particular software resource within the particular application pattern in the cloud service.

Abstract: To perform resilient transaction processing, a computing device in a first geographic region receives a transaction from a user. The transaction requires a series of predetermined steps to process the transaction. The computing device assigns an idempotent identifier to the transaction, and performs the series of predetermined steps to process the transaction by including the idempotent identifier in each communication related to each of the predetermined steps. When one of the predetermined steps has previously been performed, the computing device prevents duplication of the predetermined step by verifying completion of the step for the idempotent identifier and obtaining an indication that the step has previously been performed. After a threshold time period has expired since the transaction was received, the computing device determines whether the series of predetermined steps have been completed, and logs the transaction in a cryptographic ledger for the first geographic region.
