Abstract

Various embodiments disclosed herein are related to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive, on a cloud server coupled to a cluster on an edge network, a configuration state of the cluster, map the configuration state to a list of streams, send, to the cluster, the list of streams, and receive an indication that the cluster subscribed to the list of streams.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive, on a cloud server coupled to a cluster on an edge network, a configuration state of the cluster;
map the configuration state to a list of streams;
send, to the cluster, the list of streams; and
receive an indication that the cluster subscribed to the list of streams.

2. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
determine whether a configuration update is available for a stream of the list of streams; and
in response to determining that the configuration update is available for the stream, send, on the stream, the configuration update to the cluster.

3. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
determine whether the configuration state changes; and
in response to determining that the configuration state changes, map the changed configuration state to a second list of streams.

4. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
detect that an edge processing unit of the cluster has generated a false positive; and
send, on a stream of the list of streams, a configuration update to the cluster to prevent the edge processing unit from generating the false positive.

5. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the configuration state comprises one or more configuration parameters, and wherein each of the one or more configuration parameters maps to a corresponding stream.

6. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to maintain a list of configuration updates that the cluster has received on a stream of the list of streams.

7. The medium of claim 1 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a second indication that the cluster applies a configuration update; and
in response to receiving the second indication that the cluster applies the configuration update, perform a remediation action including one or more of sending another configuration update, sending a new version of software to the cluster as part of an upgrade, ordering a new disk to replace a failing disk, or opening a new service ticket.

8. An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive, on a cloud server coupled to a cluster on an edge network, a configuration state of the cluster;
map the configuration state to a list of streams;
send, to the cluster, the list of streams; and
receive an indication that the cluster subscribed to the list of streams.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory further includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
determine whether a configuration update is available for a stream of the list of streams; and
in response to determining that the configuration update is available for the stream, send, on the stream, the configuration update to the cluster.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory further includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
determine whether the configuration state changes; and
in response to determining that the configuration state changes, map the changed configuration state to a second list of streams.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory further includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
detect that an edge processing unit of the cluster has generated a false positive; and
send, on a stream of the list of streams, a configuration update to the cluster to prevent the edge processing unit from generating the false positive.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the configuration state comprises one or more configuration parameters, and wherein each of the one or more configuration parameters maps to a corresponding stream.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory further includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to maintain a list of configuration updates that the cluster has received on a stream of the list of streams.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the memory further includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive a second indication that the cluster applies a configuration update; and
in response to receiving the second indication that the cluster applies the configuration update, perform a remediation action including one or more of sending another configuration update, sending a new version of software to the cluster as part of an upgrade, ordering a new disk to replace a failing disk, or opening a new service ticket.

15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a processor on a cloud server coupled to a cluster on an edge network, a configuration state of the cluster;
mapping the configuration state to a list of streams;
sending, to the cluster, the list of streams; and
receiving an indication that the cluster subscribed to the list of streams.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
determining whether a configuration update is available for a stream of the list of streams; and
in response to determining that the configuration update is available for the stream, sending, on the stream, the configuration update to the cluster.

17. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
determining whether the configuration state changes; and
in response to determining that the configuration state changes, mapping the changed configuration state to a second list of streams.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
detecting that an edge processing unit of the cluster has generated a false positive; and
sending, on a stream of the list of streams, a configuration update to the cluster to prevent the edge processing unit from generating the false positive.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the configuration state comprises one or more configuration parameters, and wherein each of the one or more configuration parameters maps to a corresponding stream.

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
receiving a second indication that the cluster applies a configuration update; and

in response to receiving the second indication that the cluster applies the configuration update, performing a remediation action including one or more of sending another configuration update, sending a new version of software to the cluster as part of an upgrade, ordering a new disk to replace a failing disk, or opening a new service ticket.
