Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to a cloud computing infrastructure and method of operating the same including at least: receiving a configuration file from a configuration repository; receiving a request from a first device to configure an application rule set of one or more nodes based on the configuration file; transmitting the request to a receiver node selected from the one or more nodes; generating a notification alerting the one or more nodes that the request is stored on a database; distributing the configuration file to a subset of the one or more nodes based on receipt of an access request from the one or more nodes; and updating the application rule set of the subset of the one or more nodes based on the configuration file.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of operating a cloud computing system comprising:
receiving, by one or more computing devices, a request from at least one of a plurality of devices, wherein the request indicates the at least one of the plurality of devices is requesting to configure an application rule set to define operations of one or more nodes based on a configuration file containing instructions for configuring the application rule set in a network, wherein the application rule set provides conditional statements relating to rules, guidelines, or policies regarding a method of communication to customers, potential customers, or external users;
generating, by the one or more computing devices, a notification, wherein the notification alerts the one or more nodes of the request;
distributing, by the one or more computing devices, the configuration file to a subset of the one or more nodes based on receipt of an access request from the subset of the one or more nodes in response to the notification, wherein the access request requests access to the configuration file; and
updating, by the one or more computing devices, the application rule set of the subset of the one or more nodes based on the configuration file.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is received in real-time from when the at least one of the plurality of devices makes the request.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is received via data or instructions within a computer file.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a receiver node from the one or more nodes to transmit the request to a message service for storage in a database.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the selecting is performed by analyzing one of a processor speed, a processor bandwidth, or a node storage capacity of the one or more nodes.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein distributing the configuration file to the subset of the one or more nodes includes distributing the configuration file to all of the one or more nodes in the subset of the one or more nodes.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the application rule set of the subset of the one or more nodes based on the configuration file includes updating the application rule set of all of the subset of the one or more nodes.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a cloud computing system, cause the cloud computing system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by one or more computing devices, a request from at least one of a plurality of devices, wherein the request indicates the at least one of the plurality of devices is requesting to configure an application rule set that defines operations of one or more nodes based on a configuration file containing instructions for configuring the application rule set in a network, wherein the application rule set provides conditional statements relating to rules, guidelines, or policies regarding a method of communication to customers, potential customers, or external users;
generating, by the one or more computing devices, a notification, wherein the notification alerts the one or more nodes of the request;
distributing, by the one or more computing devices, the configuration file to a subset of the one or more nodes based on receipt of an access request from the subset of the one or more nodes in response to the notification, wherein the access request requests access to the configuration file; and
updating, by the one or more computing devices, the application rule set of the subset of the one or more nodes based on the configuration file.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the request is received in real-time from when the at least one of the plurality of devices makes the request.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the request is received via data or instructions within a computer file.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , the operations further comprising selecting, by the one or more computing devices, a receiver node from the one or more nodes to transmit the request to a message service for storage in a database.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the selecting is performed by analyzing one of a processor speed, a processor bandwidth, or a node storage capacity of the one or more nodes.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein distributing the configuration file to the subset of the one or more nodes includes distributing the configuration file to all of the one or more nodes in the subset of the one or more nodes.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein updating the application rule set of the subset of the one or more nodes based on the configuration file includes updating the application rule set of all of the subset of the one or more nodes.

15. A cloud computing system comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions;
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to process the stored instructions to:
receive a request from at least one of a plurality of devices, wherein the request indicates the at least one of the plurality of devices is requesting to configure an application rule set to define operations of one or more nodes based on a configuration file containing instructions for configuring the application rule set in a network, wherein the application rule set provides conditional statements relating to rules, guidelines, or policies regarding a method of communication to customers, potential customers, or external users;
generate a notification, wherein the notification alerts the one or more nodes of the request;
distribute the configuration file to a subset of the one or more nodes based on receipt of an access request from the subset of the one or more nodes in response to the notification, wherein the access request requests access to the configuration file; and
update the application rule set of the subset of the one or more nodes based on the configuration file.

16. The cloud computing system of claim 15 , wherein the request is received in real-time from when the at least one of the plurality of devices makes the request.

17. The cloud computing system of claim 15 , wherein the request is received via data or instructions within a computer file.

18. The cloud computing system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to select a receiver node from the one or more nodes to transmit the request to a message service for storage in a database.

19. The cloud computing system of claim 18 , wherein the selecting is performed by analyzing one of a processor speed, a processor bandwidth, or a node storage capacity of the one or more nodes.

20. The cloud computing system of claim 15 , wherein distributing the configuration file to the subset of the one or more nodes includes distributing the configuration file to all of the one or more nodes in the subset of the one or more nodes.
