Filed:

Dec 11, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/838320

Inventors:

- Raleigh NC, US
Matthew Hicks - Westford MA, US
Daniel Charles McPherson - Raleigh NC, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/50

Abstract:

A method includes instantiating a first web application for a first application owner on a virtual machine and instantiating a second web application for a second application owner. The second application owner is different than the first application owner. Instantiating the second web application includes determining that the second web application is associated with an attribute. The first web application is also associated with the attribute, and the attribute comprises an implementation related property of the first web application and the second web application. Instantiating the second web application also includes identifying the virtual machine as configured to host web applications having the attribute, responsive to identifying the virtual machine, instantiating the second web application on the virtual machine hosting the first web application. The second web application is prevented from accessing the first web application and the first web application is prevented from accessing the second web application.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 9/445

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure provide for source code management for a multi-tenant Platform-as-Service (PaaS) system. A method of the disclosure includes creating, by a processing device of a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) system, a first container to host a first source code management repository for an application; receiving, at the first container, source code associated with the application; creating, by the processing device, a second container to provide deployment functionality for the application, the second container comprising resource-constrained processing space of a node of the PaaS system to execute functionality of the application; and deploying, by the processing device, the source code on the PaaS system using the second container. Aspects of the disclosure may be implemented using high-availability (HA) clusters by replicating the SCM container(s). Aspects of the disclosure may provide users with cost-effective, scaled, and secure PaaS services using reduced infrastructure.

Abstract:

Implementations of the disclosure provide for controlling capacity in a multi-tenant Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment in a cloud computing system. A method includes obtaining, by a resource control module executed by a processing device, an active capacity metric of each node in a multi-tenant Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) system, the active capacity metric determined in view of a number of containers that are currently executing in the node and a maximum number of active containers allowed to execute in the node, comparing, by the resource control module, the active capacity metric of the each node to an active capacity threshold associated with the each node, and when the active capacity metric exceeds the active capacity threshold in all of the nodes in a district of the multi-tenant PaaS system and when a maximum actual capacity of containers in the district is not exceeded, adding a new node to the district.
