US 11,381,476 B2 · Standardized format for containerized applications

Abstract

A file is created in a standardized format that defines a type of a containerized application and includes information for deployment of the containerized application. A single parser of the standardized format is thus enabled to deploy different types of containerized applications. The standardized file format includes an application definition. The application definition includes a service, a port list, a container list, a volume mount list, an access mode list, a resource usage list, or any suitable combination thereof. A client device presents a user interface that allows a user to select a containerized application to execute. An application server parses an application template file for the selected containerized application and, based on the information in the application template file, causes one or more servers (e.g., one or more Kubernetes cluster nodes) to execute the containerized application.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

causing a user interface to be presented, the user interface comprising a plurality of application names;
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of an application name of the plurality of application names;
in response to the receiving of the selection, accessing, by one or more processors, a file that corresponds to the selected application name and comprises a header and a body, the header comprising an indication of a type of a containerized application;
identifying, within the body and based on the type of the containerized application, by the one or more processors, a keyword;
based on the keyword, parsing a portion of the body to identify deployment information for the containerized application, the portion of the body comprising an identification of a port for the containerized application that is exposed to users;
and
based on the identified deployment information, deploying the containerized application to a server, the deploying comprising interacting with a Kubernetes cluster through a representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API).

4 more elements

A system comprising:

a memory that stores instructions;
and
one or more processors configured by the instructions to perform operations comprising:
causing a user interface to be presented, the user interface comprising a plurality of application names;
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of an application name of the plurality of application names;
in response to the receiving of the selection, accessing a file that corresponds to the selected application name and comprises a header and a body, the header comprising an indication of a type of a containerized application;
identifying, within the body and based on the type of the containerized application, a keyword;
based on the keyword, parsing a portion of the body to identify deployment information for the containerized application, the portion of the body comprising an identification of a port for the containerized application that is exposed to users;
and
based on the identified deployment information, deploying the containerized application to a server, the deploying comprising interacting with a Kubernetes cluster through a representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API).

7 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

causing a user interface to be presented, the user interface comprising a plurality of application names;
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of an application name of the plurality of application names;
in response to the receiving of the selection, accessing a file that corresponds to the selected application name and comprises a header and a body, the header comprising an indication of a type of a containerized application;
identifying, within the body and based on the type of the containerized application, a keyword;
based on the keyword, parsing a portion of the body to identify deployment information for the containerized application, the portion of the body comprising an identification of a port for the containerized application that is exposed to users;
and
based on the identified deployment information, deploying the containerized application to a server, the deploying comprising interacting with a Kubernetes cluster through a representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API).
