Extensible multi-tenant cloud-management system and methods for extending functionalities and services provided by multi-tenant cloud-management system

This invention describes a way for users of a cloud management system to add their own features and services. It works by providing a special entry point, called an API, which acts like a standardized doorway for both the system's original services and any new ones users create. This doorway also includes a security system that checks if a user is allowed to access these extended services, specifically using a database and a routine to verify authorization for each request.

Why it matters: While the core concepts were established, the proliferation of sophisticated managed API gateway services and integrated Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions since 2016 significantly reduces the complexity and operational overhead of building and securing such an extensible system.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, distributed architecture, database logic.
