Abstract

A responsive layout based on behavioral intent in a multi-tenant PaaS system is disclosed. A method of the disclosure includes determining a profile of a user of a PaaS system, an application context for each application associated with the user and hosted by the PaaS system, and a task context of an access to the PaaS system by the user, providing indicators of the determined profile, the determined application context, and the determined task context to a browser application of the user, and providing HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files of the management console to the browser application, wherein the provided indicators are applied to the HTML and CSS files to generate a responsive layout, wherein the indicators are associated with one or more variants of the HTML and CSS files that provide the responsive layout.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
identifying, by a processing device of a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) system, a user of the PaaS system via login credentials provided by the user when the user accesses a management console of the PaaS system, wherein the PaaS system provides for the creation and deployment of applications on one or more nodes of the PaaS system, wherein two or more of the applications are deployed on a same node of the one or more nodes of the PaaS system;
determining, by the processing device, a profile of the user comprising a role of the user on the PaaS system, an application context for each application associated with the user and hosted by the PaaS system, and a task context of an access to the PaaS system by the user, wherein the application context is in view of an application development cycle of the application, and wherein the task context is in view of a state of the application;
providing indicators of the determined profile, the determined application context, and the determined task context to a browser application of the user; and
providing, by the processing device, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files of the management console to the browser application, wherein the provided indicators are applied to the HTML and CSS files to generate a responsive layout;
wherein the indicators are associated with one or more variants of the HTML and CSS files that provide the responsive layout.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the role of the user comprises at least one of a developer or an administrator.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining the profile is in view of one or more previous actions that the user performed on the PaaS system.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application context comprises an age of the application in terms of the application development cycle.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the state of the application comprises at least one of a nominal state or an error state.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the responsive layout is further in view of at least one of device display characteristics of a device executing the browser application or capabilities of the browser application.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the user is accessing a page of the management console associated with one of the applications associated with the user;
updating the determined profile of the user in view of one or more previous actions that user performed on the one of the applications;
updating the determined application context in view of an age of the one of the applications;
updating the determined task context in view of a state of the one of the applications; and
providing updated indications, along with the HTML and CSS files, to the browser application in view of the updated profile, the updated application context, and the updated task context, the indications provided with the HTML and CSS files.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that a time interval has expired;
responsive to the time interval expiring, updating the determined profile of the user, the determined application context, and the determined task context; and
providing updated indications to the browser application in view of the updated profile, the updated application context, and the updated task context;
wherein the browser application renders the management console in the responsive layout in view of an application of the updated indicators to the HTML and CSS files, the updated indicators associated with one or more variants of the HTML and CSS files that provide the responsive layout.

9. A system, comprising:
a data store to maintain HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files for a management console of a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) system, wherein the PaaS system provides for the creation and deployment of applications on one or more nodes of the PaaS system, wherein two or more of the applications are deployed on a same node of the one or more nodes of the PaaS system; and
a processing device communicably coupled to the data store and the memory, the processing device to:
determine a profile of the user, an application context for each application associated with the user and hosted by the PaaS system, and a task context of an access to the PaaS system by the user;
determine a profile of the user comprising a role of the user on the PaaS system, an application context for each application associated with the user and hosted by the PaaS system, and a task context of an access to the PaaS system by the user, wherein the application context is in view of an application development cycle of the application, and wherein the task context is in view of a state of the application;
provide indicators of the determined profile, the determined application context, and the determined task context to a browser application of the user; and
provide the HTML and CSS files of the management console to the browser application;
wherein the browser application renders the management console in a responsive layout in view of an application of the provided indicators to the HTML and CSS files, the indicators associated with one or more variants of the HTML and CSS files that provide the responsive layout.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the role of the user comprises at least one of a developer or an administrator, and wherein the determining the profile is in view of one or more previous actions that the user performed on the PaaS system.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the application context comprises an age of the application in terms of the application development cycle.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the state comprising at least one of a nominal state or an error state.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the responsive layout is further in view of at least one of device display characteristics of a device executing the browser application or capabilities of the browser application.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further to:
determine that the user is accessing a page of the management console associated with one of the applications associated with the user;
update the determined profile of the user in view of one or more previous actions that user performed on the one of the applications;
update the determined application context in view of an age of the one of the applications;
update the determined task context in view of a state of the one of the applications; and
provide updated indications, along with the HTML and CSS files, to the browser application in view of the updated profile, the updated application context, and the updated task context, the indications provided with the HTML and CSS files.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further to:
determine that a time interval has expired;
responsive to the time interval expiring, update the determined profile of the user, the determined application context, and the determined task context; and
provide updated indications to the browser application in view of the updated profile, the updated application context, and the updated task context;
wherein the browser application renders the management console in the responsive layout in view of an application of the updated indicators to the HTML and CSS files, the updated indicators associated with one or more variants of the HTML and CSS files that provide the responsive layout.
