Abrégé

A federation with distributed edge configuration management including multiple data centers, each including an infrastructure, at least one storage, and a configuration platform. The infrastructure includes physical resources including at least one computer server. The storage stores state information indicative of a current state of the infrastructure and configuration information of the infrastructure. The configuration information includes composed immutable content incorporating automation tasks and instructions to effectuate state changes of the infrastructure. The configuration platform includes a network interface and a configuration processor that configures the infrastructure by generating and executing a workflow that includes a sequence of operations to effectuate a change of state of the infrastructure. The composed immutable content may include catalog units of subcomponents each including one or more declarative instructions. Catalog units or subcomponents may be grouped into version sets managed by a version set manager.

Abrégé

A system for dynamic context automation workflow including a data center which includes an infrastructure and a configuration platform. The infrastructure includes physical resources for implementing at least one machine, and the configuration platform includes a configuration processor that coordinates automatic sequential execution of multiple tasks of a workflow by different agents each running on a different one of multiple contexts for updating a machine state controlled by the configuration processor.

Abrégé

An endpoint of a distributed federation with proxy synchronization including a data center infrastructure, a storage, and an endpoint. The storage stores a state of the data infrastructure and further stores a mirrored state for each of at least one other endpoint. The endpoint includes a communication interface for communicating via a communication network, where the endpoint, in response to receiving a command via the communication interface for changing the mirrored state, forwards the command towards an endpoint that owns the mirrored state via the communication interface. Commands may be forwarded directly or indirectly via one or more intermediary endpoints. An owner endpoint receives a command, updates its local state, and sends one or more events to one or more proxy endpoints to update corresponding mirrored states. A restricted proxy endpoint may store a partial mirrored state. The federation may support bidirectional sharing, synchronization, and resource data sharing.
