Druva has filed a patent for a system that manages context-aware application groups in a container deployment environment. The system includes a memory and a processor that executes routines to receive an instance ID, identify an instance and context, generate a re-registration token, and initiate a re-registration workflow to create a new instance of the application group.

Context-aware application group management in a container deployment environment
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230259384A1) describes a system and method for context-aware application group management in a container deployment environment. The system includes a memory storing processor-executable routines and a processor that executes these routines.
The system receives an instance identifier (ID) corresponding to an application group based on a re-registration request from the user. It then identifies the instance and context associated with the instance from respective databases. A re-registration token is generated, which includes a context ID corresponding to the context. Finally, a re-registration workflow is initiated to create a new instance of the application group based on the re-registration token and the context ID.
The system also handles scenarios where the application group is currently de-registered or registered. It verifies the existence of the context with the context ID and ensures that it is not associated with an active instance before generating the re-registration token.
In addition, the system supports cloning requests for the application group. It allocates a new context ID based on the cloning request and creates a copy of the original context with the new context ID. It also creates copies of all backups of the original context ID and links them with the new context ID. The system can create references to resources associated with the original backups or replicate those resources.
Ownership of the application group is verified based on user information before generating the re-registration token. The container deployment environment in which this system operates is specifically mentioned as a Kubernetes environment.
The system is designed to generate, preserve, and track the context of the application group across instances in different environments and clusters. This ensures that the application group can be managed effectively and consistently regardless of the deployment environment.
Overall, this patent describes a system and method that enable context-aware application group management in a container deployment environment. It provides mechanisms for re-registration, cloning, and ownership verification, while also ensuring the preservation and tracking of the application group's context.
