  • Patent number: 12204669
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein extend an entity's private cloud security model to the entity's public cloud. Public cloud access permissions are defined, in accordance with a security model implemented in the entity's private cloud, for one or more of the entity's public cloud resources. The public cloud permissions are pushed or otherwise provided to an access module within the private cloud. Upon receiving a request to access a public cloud resource, the private cloud access module is invoked to grant or deny the access request in accordance with the public cloud access permissions. Similarly, upon receiving a request to access a private cloud resource, the private cloud access module is invoked to process the access request in accordance with private cloud access permissions, thereby beneficially enabling users to interact with a single access interface regardless of whether the resource reside within the entity's cloud platform.

  • Patent number: 12206738
    Abstract: Disclosed methods and systems for managing on-premises information handling resources establish, by an in-cloud web portal, an agentless connection to an on-premises information handling resource and perform, via the agentless connection, a configuration management operation to modify a configuration of the on-premises handling resource. Establishing the agentless connection and performing the configuration management operation may include one or more appropriate API calls. Disclosed teachings enable a web-accessible, public cloud portal to perform active configuration management of on-premises resources scattered across any number of distinct and potentially isolated customer sites without deploying and maintaining management agent software within the customer's private cloud. The on-premises resources may include a multi-node cluster provided by a node or nodes of one or more HCI appliances.

  • Publication number: 20230267101
    Abstract: A distributed database management system includes a centralized management module for managing resources within a customer network. The management module software, e.g., vCenter, or a health state plugin of the management module, accesses health state information from distributed database nodes within the customer network. The health state information may be or may include a simple signal, analogous to a heartbeat signal, that each functional node generates periodically and sends to the management module. The nodes may include a primary node to maintain a database and one or more secondary nodes to replicate the database. The primary and secondary nodes may be nodes within an edge node cluster of the customer network. The edge node cluster may be implemented within an infrastructure appliance, e.g., VxRail. The management module shares the health state information with the nodes and controls, based on the health state information, the designation of a primary node and secondary nodes.
