Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for implementing an integrated cloud system that enables a user to integrate software tasks executing on different software platforms. A method includes maintaining, by an integrated cloud system, a first software platform and a different second software platform that are configured to communicate by a shared networking subsystem. The integrated cloud system receives a first request to deploy instance(s) of a first software task on the first software platform. The first platform deploys the instance(s) of the first software tasks. The integrated cloud system receives a request to deploy instance(s) of a second software task on the second software platform. The second platform deploys the instance(s) of the second software task. The integrated cloud system configures communications between the instance(s) of the first software task and the instance(s) of the second software task using the shared networking subsystem.

Claims21

Dependent claims

A method performed by a distributed computing system comprising a plurality of computers, the method comprising:

maintaining, by an integrated cloud system, a first software platform and a different second software platform that are configured to communicate by a shared networking subsystem, wherein:
the first software platform is configured to:
(i) provision, using a deployment manager of the integrated cloud system, first underlying cloud computing resources of a first cloud computing infrastructure for a first type of software tasks deployed in the first software platform and
(ii) launch the first type of software tasks using the provisioned first underlying cloud computing resources;
the second software platform is configured to:
(i) provision, using the deployment manager, second underlying cloud computing resources of a second cloud computing infrastructure for a second type of software tasks, different from the first type of software tasks, deployed in the second software platform and
(ii) launch the second type of software tasks using the provisioned second underlying cloud computing resources, wherein the second software platform is not configured to launch the first type of software tasks;
and
tasks of the first software platform have hardware isolation from tasks of the second software platform;
receiving, by the integrated cloud system, a first request from a developer to deploy one or more instances of a first software task of an application on the first software platform, wherein the first software task is of the first type of software tasks;
deploying, by the first software platform, the one or more instances of the first software tasks, each instance of the first software task having one or more executable components;
receiving, by the integrated cloud system, a request from the developer to deploy one or more instances of a second software task of the application on the second software platform, wherein the second software task is of the second type of software tasks;
deploying, by the second software platform, the one or more instances of the second software task, each instance of the second software task having one or more executable components;
and
configuring, by the integrated cloud system, communications between the one or more instances of the first software task deployed on the first software platform and the one or more instances of the second software task deployed on the second software platform using the shared networking subsystem.
