Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is system and method for use with software application development environments, for determining attribution associated with licensed software code. The system can receive as input an indication of a source application codebase for a software application, determine dependencies on third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, and output associated license attributions for that codebase. Optionally, the system can combine and/or de-duplicate multiple sets of attributions associated with a source application codebase, or generate a set of differences between two versions of attributions, to illustrate changes between the versions. In accordance with an embodiment, if the system detects potential licensing issues associated with the use of third-party modules, libraries, or other software code, then an appropriate notification can be generated.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing software rollouts within a controller-based container orchestration system. A super controller is responsible for launching and communicating with instance-scoped controllers for various software stack instances. Each software stack instance provides a specific instantiation of a software stack that has been deployed for a specific customer or tenant. The controllers allow a desired state of a system, such as a configuration or version of a software stack instance, to be declared via metadata, and then operate to realize the desired state into a live state. When applied to a cloud computing or containerized software environment that runs single-tenant workloads of many customers or tenants, a deployment process applies software updates in a safe, controlled manner, for example to control the pace of updating each of the several instances within a fleet.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method use of a controller with a software application container orchestration system, which is adapted to provide safe and efficient replacement of nodes in a containerized environment. A node replacement controller drives the process of node replacement, and indirectly and asynchronously interacts, through metadata, with an implementation-specific node processor, and application-specific health controller, to discover nodes that should be processed, determine when the application workload is in a stable state, declare those nodes as ready to be processed, and determine when those nodes have finished processing. The node replacement controller can be implemented once for a given type of container orchestration system, and then applied to other container orchestration implementations (vendors) and workload types using that container orchestration system.
