  • Publication number: 20240126660
    Abstract: Execution of an operation in a cloud environment is performed by a controller receiving an event from an eventing framework. The controller determines a number of phases of the cloud operation, and checks a status of each phase. Where a status of a phase of a cloud operation is open (e.g., having not been completed owing to interruption due to a communications failure in the cloud), the controller executes the phase of the cloud operation, records the completed status in a storage medium, and reports the status. Where a status of a phase of the cloud operation is determined to be complete, the controller iterates to the next phase. The controller may configure the eventing framework to receive the event. The eventing framework may be external to the controller (e.g., KUBERNETES). Alternatively, the eventing framework may be internal to the controller (for example communicating events based upon a polling mechanism).

  • Patent number: 11748213
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a system, method, and non-transitory medium, with the system including a plurality of database services; and a stateless backup operator to perform a first mode for each database service to reconfigure a current backup state of each database service with an associated desired backup state information for the respective database service and the stateless backup operator to switch to and perform a second mode for a specific one of the plurality of database services in response to a request execute a first backup operation for the specific database service.

  • Publication number: 20230185691
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided to facilitate logging of computing processes. A computing process generates multiple log entries. A first portion of the multiple log entries are written to a first log. A second portion of the multiple log entries are written to the first log and to a second log, where the second portion is less than the first portion, such as being a proper subset of the first portion. Log entries can be determined to be written to the second log by scanning all or a portion of a log, by evaluating log entries as they are generated, or through computer code that causes log entries to be written to the second log. Typically, the second log is maintained for a longer period of time than the first log.

  • Patent number: 11630740
    Abstract: A system and method to create a plurality of hyperscaler accounts having predefined access rights to an object store of a database service in a cloud environment; store hyperscaler credentials specifying access rights to the object store corresponding to the predefined access rights of the hyperscaler accounts in a secure credential store, the hyperscaler credentials providing access to the object store for a specified backup function; map each of a plurality of different backup service component processes to one of the hyperscaler credentials, each of the plurality of backup service component processes operative independent of each other and having a specific backup service functionality; receive a request to execute one of the plurality of different backup service component processes; and authenticate access rights of the backup service component process included in the request based on the mapping.
