  • Publication number: 20240378101
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying anomalies of failure events on a cloud computing system and determining cross-component and cross-layer correlation between change events that occur on the cloud computing system and the failure events associated with the anomalies. In particular, this disclosure describes a system that receives telemetry related to change events and failure events across any number of computing layers of a distributed computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing system) and detects anomalies based on counts of failure events that are manifested over discrete periods of time. Based on these detected anomalies, the anomaly correlation system can determine cross-layer and cross-component correlations between selective change events and the detected anomalies of failure events.

  • Patent number: 11165668
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are described for obtaining deployment signals comprising information relating to deployments of software components to a plurality of computing devices, obtaining fault signals comprising information relating to faults encountered by the plurality of computing devices, and obtaining device type information that describes a device type of each of the plurality of computing devices. Based on the deployment signals, fault signals, and device type information, a correlation score for each combination of software component, fault, and device type is obtained. Based on the correlation scores, attribution level decisions, fault type level decisions and device type level decisions are made. Based on these decisions, an overall decision is rendered whether to proceed or not proceed with a future deployment of the software component.

  • Patent number: 10769007
    Abstract: A system may include a node historical state data store having historical node state data, including a metric that represents a health status or an attribute of a node during a period of time prior to a node failure. A node failure prediction algorithm creation platform may generate a machine learning trained node failure prediction algorithm. An active node data store may contain information about computing nodes in a cloud computing environment, including, for each node, a metric that represents a health status or an attribute of that node over time. A virtual machine assignment platform may then execute the node failure prediction algorithm to calculate a node failure probability score for each computing node based on the information in the active node data store. As a result, a virtual machine may be assigned to a selected computing node based at least in part on node failure probability scores.
