Publication number: 20240028412Abstract: Example methods and systems for cluster add-on lifecycle management are described. In one example, a computer system may obtain cluster add-on definition information specifying multiple add-ons that are each capable of extending functionality of at least a first cluster and a second cluster. In response to receiving a first instruction to perform a first management action, a first validation operation may be performed based on the cluster add-on definition information and multiple first configuration values associated the multiple first configuration fields. In response to receiving a second instruction to perform a second management action associated with the second add-on, a second validation operation may be performed based on the cluster add-on definition information and multiple second configuration values associated the multiple second configuration fields. The first/second management action may be performed in response to determination that the first/second validation operation is successful.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Hailing XU, Liang CUI, Aravind SRINIVASAN, Ni LU

Publication number: 20240028411Abstract: Example methods and systems for cluster add-on lifecycle management are described. In one example, a computer system may obtain cluster add-on definition information specifying multiple add-ons that are each capable of extending functionality of at least a first cluster and a second cluster. User interface(s) may be generated based on the cluster add-on definition information to allow a user to request for a management action associated. In response to receiving a first request for a first management action associated with the first add-on, a first instruction may be generated and sent to cause the first management action to be performed in the first cluster. In response to receiving a second request for a second management action associated with the second add-on, a second instruction may be generated and sent to cause the second management action to be performed in the first cluster or the second cluster.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Hailing XU, Liang CUI, Aravind SRINIVASAN, Ni LU
