Abstract

Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) server devices are disclosed that obtain commit metadata from a version control system (VCS) via communication network(s). The VCS is located on-premises and is associated with an enterprise and the commit metadata comprises an indication of file(s) committed to the VCS by enterprise user(s). A determination is made that at least a portion of the indication for at least one of the file(s) matches a stored pattern. The one of the file(s) comprises a configuration file. Contents of the configuration file are retrieved from the VCS via the communication network(s). The contents comprise configuration data associated with information technology infrastructure associated with the enterprise. A database associated with an instance of a platform is updated to include at least a portion of the configuration data. The platform instance is associated with the enterprise and hosted within a PaaS environment.

Claims14

Dependent claims

A method for automated configuration management in platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments, the method implemented by one or more PaaS server devices and comprising:

polling a version control system, via one or more communication networks and an application programming interface (API) for the version control system, for commit metadata, wherein the one or more communication networks comprise a wide area network;
obtaining the commit metadata via the one or more communication networks and from an endpoint corresponding to a uniform resource locator (URL) of a webhook triggered at the version control system following a commit by one or more enterprise users of one or more files to a repository of the version control system, wherein the version control system is located on-premises and is associated with an enterprise and the commit metadata comprises an indication of the one or more files;
determining that at least a portion of the indication for at least a configuration file of the one or more files matches a stored pattern;
retrieving contents of the configuration file from the version control system via the one or more communication networks, wherein the contents comprise configuration data associated with information technology infrastructure associated with the enterprise;
processing the configuration data of the configuration file to:
extract one or more tags to facilitate tag-based service mapping, wherein each of the one or more tags comprises a key/value pair;
or
generate another one or more tags based on:
a match of stored key data with one or more configuration items extracted from the configuration file;
and
one or more environments corresponding to the matched key data;
and
updating a database associated with an instance of a platform to include at least a portion of the processed configuration data, wherein the platform instance is associated with the enterprise and hosted within a PaaS environment.

10 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for automated configuration management in platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments comprising executable code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:

poll a version control system, via one or more communication networks and an application programming interface (API) for the version control system, for commit metadata, wherein the one or more communication networks comprise a wide area network;
obtain the commit metadata via the one or more communication networks and from an endpoint corresponding to a uniform resource locator (URL) of a webhook triggered at the version control system following a commit by one or more enterprise users of one or more files to a repository of the version control system, wherein the version control system is located on-premises and is associated with an enterprise and the commit metadata comprises an indication of the one or more files;
determine that at least a portion of the indication for at least a configuration file of the one or more files matches a stored pattern;
retrieve contents of the configuration file from the version control system via the one or more communication networks, wherein the contents comprise configuration data associated with information technology infrastructure associated with the enterprise;
process the configuration data of the configuration file to:
extract one or more tags to facilitate tag-based service mapping, wherein each of the one or more tags comprises a key/value pair;
or
generate another one or more tags based on:
a match of stored key data with one or more configuration items extracted from the configuration file;
and
one or more environments corresponding to the matched key data;
and
update a database associated with an instance of a platform to include at least a portion of the processed configuration data, wherein the platform instance is associated with the enterprise and hosted within a PaaS environment.

10 more elements

A platform-as-a-service (PaaS) server device, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to:

poll a version control system, via one or more communication networks and an application programming interface (API) for the version control system, for commit metadata, wherein the one or more communication networks comprise a wide area network;
obtain the commit metadata via the one or more communication networks and from an endpoint corresponding to a uniform resource locator (URL) of a webhook triggered at the version control system following a commit by one or more enterprise users of one or more files to a repository of the version control system, wherein the version control system is located on-premises and is associated with an enterprise and the commit metadata comprises an indication of the one or more files;
determine that at least a portion of the indication for at least a configuration file of the one or more files matches a stored pattern;
retrieve contents of the configuration file from the version control system via the one or more communication networks, wherein the contents comprise configuration data associated with information technology infrastructure associated with the enterprise;
process the configuration data of the configuration file to:
extract one or more tags to facilitate tag-based service mapping, wherein each of the one or more tags comprises a key/value pair;
or
generate another one or more tags based on:
a match of stored key data with one or more configuration items extracted from the configuration file;
and
one or more environments corresponding to the matched key data;
and
update a database associated with an instance of a platform to include at least a portion of the processed configuration data, wherein the platform instance is associated with the enterprise and hosted within a PaaS environment.
