  • Patent number: 10033833
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed facilitate distributed orchestration and deployment of a cloud based distributed computing application. In some embodiments, a first deployment context associated with a cloud based application may be determined. The first deployment context may comprise a plurality of rules, where each rule may specify conditions for applying configurations to resources associated with the cloud based application. The conditions specified by the plurality of rules may be evaluated and configurations of the resources associated with the cloud based application may be determined. In some embodiments, the deployment of the cloud based application on a first cloud may then be orchestrated based, in part, on the first deployment context, by configuring the resources associated with the cloud based application based on the previously determined configurations of the resources.

  • Patent number: 9967318
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed facilitate obtaining a cloud agnostic representation of a multi-tier application. Cloud specific implementations of the cloud agnostic representation may be deployed on a plurality of clouds. In some embodiments, dependency information for each component service in a multi-tier application is obtained, wherein the dependency information for a component service indicates prerequisites for starting the component service; and a cloud agnostic representation of the multi-tier application is derived, wherein the cloud agnostic representation of the multi-tier application comprises metadata for obtaining each of the component services for a plurality of clouds, and a sequence for starting each of the component services, the sequence based, in part, on the dependency information.

  • Patent number: 9684502
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed facilitate distributed orchestration and deployment of a cloud based distributed computing application. In some embodiments, the distributed orchestration may be based on a cloud agnostic representation of the application. In some embodiments, an ordered set of events may be obtained based on a starting sequence for the plurality of components, where each event in the ordered set is associated with a corresponding set of prerequisites for initiating execution of the event. Event identifiers corresponding to the ordered set of events may be placed on an event message bus with persistence that is shared between a plurality of distributed nodes associated with a cloud. Upon receiving an indication of completion of prerequisites for one or more events, a plurality of nodes of a distributed orchestration engine may select the one or more events corresponding to the one or more selected event identifiers for execution on the cloud.
