Patent number: 11650805Abstract: Reliable feature deployment is provided. Features are evaluated for their readiness to be graduated and features that are ready to be graduated are added to a graduation list. When features are added to the graduation list, evaluation of the features is discontinued, thereby reducing the performance and runtime costs associated with deploying features. Furthermore, engineers can consult the graduation list to identify features that are ready for graduation, thereby reducing the risk of premature flight graduation. Data associated with features is analyzed to map the features to corresponding flights. In this way, when an engineer identifies a feature for graduation, the engineer is able to identify the corresponding flight (or flights) from the mapping. Even when a feature is selected for graduation, the present systems provide additional safeguards to ensure that corresponding flights are not improperly or prematurely graduated, thereby preventing a subpar customer experience.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nidhi Verma, Ankur Jauhari, Min Shao, Shobana Krishnamoorthy

Patent number: 11354113Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to deploy upgrade events in a controlled manner to different resource units that provide a service utilizing predefined rollout policies. To deploy an upgrade event, a system determines a risk factor for the upgrade event and presents predefined rollout policies to a feature group for selection based on the risk factor. Upon selection of a rollout policy, the system can deploy the upgrade event according to parameters defined by the selected rollout policy. The system is further configured to analyze telemetry data received from the resource units to determine an updated risk factor and determine whether the updated risk factor crosses a risk factor threshold. If the updated risk factor crosses the threshold, the system can identify another rollout policy to replace the selected policy. In addition, the system can receive an override workflow request to expedite upgrade event deployment.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Nidhi Verma, Ankur Jauhari, Min Shao, Sudharsan Ganesan, Shobana Krishnamoorthy, Rahul Nigam, Roberta Cannerozzi

Patent number: 10915379Abstract: Issues may arise when customers that are highly engaged with application services do not receive reliable feature updates on a predictable schedule. For instance, releasing and updating features may burden cloud infrastructure and/or may not perform properly. Not only are unpredictable feature updates associated with inconsistent customer messaging and potential service disruptions, such unpredictable updates may cause a random end user experience and customer dissatisfaction with the product. The methods and systems address these issues by dynamically ranking tenants and distributing updates and releases to tenants with lower feature usage before distributing to tenants with higher feature usage. The ranking of the tenants may dynamically change based on current usage. In this way, higher ranked tenants receive access to new and updated features after additional regression testing.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nidhi Verma, Ankur Jauhari, Min Shao, Zohar Raz, Shobana Krishnamoorthy, Divyachapan S.

Patent number: 10341465Abstract: A hosted service may include multiple applications and have a large number of active features, each in varying stages of deployment, that are gradually rolled out in one or more deployment environments. The hosted service may include a flight state machine, which may provide policy based flight management for feature rollout. For example, in response to receipt of a flight request associated with a feature of the hosted service, the flight state machine may be configured to retrieve a policy associated with rollout of the feature, determine a flight state, and determine a deployment state of the feature. The flight state machine may then be configured to initiate or continue deployment of the feature in a current deployment environment or initiate deployment of the feature in a next environment based on the policy, the flight state, and the deployment state of the feature.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shobana Krishnamoorthy, Ilker Celikyilmaz, Randy David Thomson, Min Shao, Divyachapan S.
