Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for creating and managing a multi-tiered service messaging architecture within a cloud service provider or computing environment. In one or more embodiments, the multi-tiered service messaging architecture may comprise a primary topic configured to receive and manage particular service messages. Services of the cloud are allocated a service topic to receive the service messages managed by the primary topic and may itself subscribe to the primary topic to receive the service messages. Through the subscription to the service topic, the service may receive the service messages provided by the primary topic. Still other sub-topics may subscribe to the service topics for additional subscriptions by services to receive the service messages provided by the primary topic.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A data processing system comprising:

a cloud management server comprising a primary topic configured to transmit service messages of a first service of a cloud service provider to one or more other services of the cloud service provider via one or more primary subscriptions of the primary topic, wherein the primary topic is generated, based on a request received from a first service of a cloud service provider to share service messages of the first service with one or more other services of the cloud service provider;
and
one or more processors;
and
a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to implement:
a service management system server comprising at least one secondary service topic subscribed to the primary topic via a corresponding primary subscription of the one or more primary subscriptions, wherein the at least one secondary service topic is configured to transmit the service messages of the first service received from the primary topic to one or more service subscriptions of the at least one secondary service topic, wherein the one or more processors are configured to generate the at least one secondary service topic is generated by:
determining, based on receiving a request from a second service of the cloud service provider to receive the service messages of the first service, whether the second service is subscribed to receive the service messages of the first service;
and generating the at least one secondary service topic based on determining that the second service is not subscribed to receive the service messages of the first service, and
wherein the at least one secondary service topic corresponds to a second service of the cloud service provider;
and
wherein the second service receives the service messages from the at least one secondary service topic via a corresponding service subscription of the one or more service subscriptions.

8 more elements

A method comprising:

based on receiving a request from a first service of a cloud service provider to share service messages of the first service with one or more other services of the cloud service provider:
generating, at a cloud management server, a primary topic configured to transmit service messages of the first service of a cloud service provider to one or more other services of the cloud service provider via one or more primary subscriptions of the primary topic;
determining, based on receiving a request from a second service of the cloud service provider to receive the service messages of the first service, whether the second service is subscribed to receive the service messages of the first service;
and
based on determining that the second service is not subscribed to receive the service messages of the first service:
generating, at a service management server associated with the second service, at least one service topic configured to transmit the service messages of the first service received from the primary topic via one or more service subscriptions of the service topic;
subscribing, via a first of the one or more primary subscriptions, the service topic to the primary topic;
and
transmitting a subscribe instruction to the service management server to subscribe the second service to the service topic via a first of the one or more service subscriptions of the service topic.

6 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system comprising at least one processor, and least one memory, cause the computer system to perform a method comprising:

based on receiving a request from a first service of a cloud service provider to share service messages of the first service with one or more other services of the cloud service provider:
instantiating, at a cloud management server, a primary topic configured to transmit service messages of a first service of a cloud service provider via one or more primary subscriptions of the primary topic;
determining, based on receiving a request from a second service of the cloud service provider to receive the service messages of the first service, whether the second service is subscribed to receive the service messages of the first service;
based on determining that the second service is not subscribed to receive the service messages of the first service:
instantiating, at a service management server associated with a second service of the cloud service provider, at least one service topic configured to transmit the service messages of the first service, received by the primary topic, to the second service via one or more service subscriptions of the service topic;
and
generating a communication session, via a first of the one or more primary subscriptions, between the service topic and the primary topic;
and
transmitting a subscribe instruction to the service management server to subscribe the second service to the service topic via a first of the one or more service subscriptions of the service topic.
