Abstract

A method for delivering notifications of software deprecations on an external unmanaged cloud environment is provided. The method may be implemented by at least one processor. The method may include gathering data from data sources hosted on an external unmanaged cloud environment but not serviced by the external unmanaged cloud environment; creating a data feed by aggregating the data gathered based on a predetermined criteria; streaming, via a network, the data feed to an internal managed cloud environment; storing the data feed in a data store on the internal managed cloud environment; joining the data feed with internal application data for at least one internal application on the internal managed cloud environment; and creating, based on the joined data, a backlog for delivering the notifications.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for delivering notifications of software deprecations on an external unmanaged cloud environment, the method comprising:
gathering data, by at least one processor, from one or more data sources hosted on an external unmanaged cloud environment but not serviced by the external unmanaged cloud environment;
generating, by the at least one processor, a data feed by aggregating the data gathered based on a predetermined criteria;
streaming, by the at least one processor via a network, the data feed to an internal managed cloud environment;
storing, by the at least one processor, the data feed in a data store on the internal managed cloud environment;
joining, by the at least one processor, the data feed with internal application data for at least one internal application on the internal managed cloud environment; and
creating, by the at least one processor, based on the joined data, a backlog for delivering the notifications.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined criteria includes deprecation data comprising a deprecation status indicative of the one or more data sources being unsupported by the external unmanaged cloud environment; and
wherein the data feed includes at least the deprecation data and one or more attributes to identify the one or more data sources.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein creating the backlog further comprises adding update or upgrade notifications in the backlog to perform an update or upgrade to the one or more data sources having the deprecation status indicative of being unsupported; and
wherein the update or upgrade is a most recent compatible version of the one or more data sources.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the joining further comprises executing a JOIN operation to combine data of the data feed stored in the data store with the internal application data based on a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) attribute identifying a VPC comprising one or more of the data sources on the external unmanaged cloud environment.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the data feed further includes one or more expiration attributes to identify at least one of:
an expiration date, the expiration date indicating a date when the one or more data sources are no longer available;
a software version number associated with the expiration date; and
a new software version of the one or more data sources at the external unmanaged cloud environment.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more data sources comprises one or more applications;
wherein the external unmanaged cloud environment includes a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and one or more containers; and
wherein the VPC is hosting the one or more containers, and the one or more containers are running the one or more applications.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the data feed further includes additional attributes to identify at least one of:
the one or more applications;
the VPC;
the one or more containers;
an IP address;
a container namespace; and
application dependency, wherein the application dependency includes any data on which the one or more applications depend.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the joining further comprises executing a JOIN operation to combine data of the data feed stored in the data store with the internal application data based on an VPC attribute identifying the VPC on the external unmanaged cloud environment.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein creating the backlog further comprises adding update or upgrade notifications in the backlog to perform an update or upgrade to the one or more data sources having the deprecation status indicative of being unsupported by the external unmanaged cloud environment;
prioritizing the updating or the upgrading notifications in the backlog; and
wherein the update or the upgrade comprises updating or upgrading at least the application dependency including at least one of a library update, a certificate update and a license update.

10. The method of claim 5 , wherein creating the backlog further comprises creating backlog issues in the backlog using an issue tracking software; and
adding update or upgrade notifications in the backlog issues to update or upgrade the one or more data sources having the deprecation status indicative of being unsupported by the external unmanaged cloud environment.

11. A computing device configured to implement an execution of a method for delivering notifications of software deprecations on an external unmanaged cloud environment, the computing device comprising:
a processor;
a memory; and
a communication interface coupled to each of the processor and the memory,
wherein the processor is configured to:
gather data, by a processor, from one or more data sources hosted on an external unmanaged cloud environment but not serviced by the external unmanaged cloud environment;
generate, by the processor, a data feed by aggregating the data gathered based on a predetermined criteria;
stream, by the processor via a network, the data feed to an internal managed cloud environment;
store, by the processor, the data feed in a data store on the internal managed cloud environment;
join, by the processor, the data feed with internal application data for at least one internal application on the internal managed cloud environment; and
create, by the processor, based on the joined data, a backlog for delivering the notifications.

12. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined criteria includes deprecation data comprising a deprecation status indicative of the one or more data sources being unsupported by the external unmanaged cloud environment; and
wherein the data feed includes at least the deprecation data and one or more attributes to identify the one or more data sources.

13. The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to add update or upgrade notifications in the backlog to perform an update or upgrade to the one or more data sources having the deprecation status indicative of being unsupported; and
wherein the update or upgrade is a most recent compatible version of the one or more data sources.

14. The computing device of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute a JOIN operation to combine data of the data feed stored in the data store with the internal application data based on a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) attribute identifying a VPC comprising one or more of the data sources on the external unmanaged cloud environment.

15. The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the data feed further includes one or more expiration attributes to identify at least one of:
an expiration date, the expiration date indicating a date when the one or more data sources are no longer available;
a software version number associated with the expiration date; and
a new software version of the one or more data sources at the external unmanaged cloud environment.

16. The computing device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more data sources comprises one or more applications;
wherein the external unmanaged cloud environment includes a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and one or more containers; and
wherein the VPC is hosting the one or more containers, and the one or more containers are running the one or more applications.

17. The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the data feed further includes additional attributes to identify at least one of:
the one or more applications;
the VPC;
the one or more containers;
an IP address;
a container namespace; and
application de
