  • Publication number: 20230131765
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for performing backup of data files in a parameter store. One or more data files in a plurality of data files are received for backup and storage in a parameter store. The data files are received from one or more file systems. One or more compressed data files corresponding to the received data files are generated. Using the compressed data files, one or more portions of the compressed data files are generated. The portions of the compressed data files are encoded by assigning a predetermined file name to each portion of the compressed data files. Each assigned predetermined file name has at least one common sequence of characters identifying the received data files. The encoded portions of the compressed data files are stored in the parameter store.

  • Patent number: 11310204
    Abstract: A method for accessing a web-based repository service from a cloud platform is provided. The method may include receiving, at a gateway controller, a first request from an endpoint to access the web-based repository service. Upon successfully verifying the first request, a redirect request to a reverse proxy at the gateway controller may be returned to the endpoint. The redirect request may include a cryptographic signature and the first request. The reverse proxy may respond to the redirect request from the endpoint by accessing, on behalf of the endpoint, the web-based repository service to store and/or retrieve data. The web-based repository service may be accessed by sending, to the web-based repository service, an encrypted second request corresponding to the first request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11271882
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a message normalization system for multi-cloud messaging systems. The system may include identifying a first input notification with a first cloud service provider that originated from a first cloud service provider. A second input notification is identified with a second cloud service provider that originated from a second cloud service provider. First data and second data are extracted from the first and second input notifications. The first and second data are translated into a first and second message having a predetermined standardized format. The predetermined standardized format is distinct from a first input notification format and a second input notification format. The first message and the second message are delivered to a multi-cloud messaging system, the multi-cloud messaging system hosted by a cloud service provider manager.

  • Patent number: 11175970
    Abstract: A method for messaging in a hybrid multi-cloud computing environment may include receiving, from a multi-cloud controller, a message. The hybrid multi-cloud computing environment may include multiple cloud platforms hosted on private, on premise infrastructure as well as public, third-party infrastructure. The multi-cloud controller may send the message to control an operation of the cloud platform. In response to receiving the message from the multi-cloud controller, the message may be deposited in message queue. The cloud platform may send a request to retrieve data destined for the cloud platform. The message from the message queue may be sent to the cloud platform in response to the request. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11102113
    Abstract: A method for interconnecting two or more virtual private networks in a hybrid multi-cloud computing environment. The method may include remapping a first virtual private network to a first Internet Protocol address range that does not overlap with a second Internet Protocol address range of a second virtual private network. The remapping may include assigning, to a first endpoint in the first virtual private network, a first Internet Protocol address that differs from a second Internet Protocol address of a second endpoint in the second virtual private network. Traffic between the first virtual private network, the second virtual private network, and/or a third virtual private network may be routed based at least on the first Internet Protocol address range and the second Internet Protocol address range. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10678612
    Abstract: A system includes a cloud orchestration framework, a messaging interface and a plurality of cloud instances that each execute a respective messaging agent that transmits messages from the corresponding cloud instance to the messaging interface. Each of the cloud orchestration framework, messaging interface, and cloud instances respectively include at least one programmable data processor and memory storing instructions for execution by such at least one programmable data processor. The messages from each respective cloud instance have different message types corresponding to the operating system used by such cloud instance or an application-level event. In addition, the messaging interface queues the messages received from the cloud instances for processing by the cloud orchestration framework. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 9912632
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer program product for providing a high availability internet protocol address are disclosed. At a first customer routing domain, a high availability internet protocol (“HA IP”) address is generated and configured on a first computing device located within the first customer routing domain. The HA IP address is forwarded to a second computing device located within at least one of the first customer routing domain and a second customer routing domain. The forwarded HA IP address is configured on the second computing device. The second customer routing domain is connected to the first customer routing domain using a transport mechanism. The first and second computing devices can be configured as a host for providing a communication capability to the customer routing domains based on the high availability internet protocol address.
