Method and system for managing cloud resources

This invention describes a system for protecting cloud-based applications from outages by setting up a backup copy in a different cloud location. It works by continuously updating a duplicate data storage in the backup location with information from the original system. If the original system fails, the backup location takes over, rebuilding the necessary software components and using the replicated data, while the original system is no longer considered active. The claims specify that this data replication can happen through timed snapshots or periodic/event-driven updates.

Why it matters: Filed before cloud-native orchestration and cross-cluster management tools fully matured. The claims detail managing containerized application failover, which is now more robust and easier to implement with evolved cloud provider and Kubernetes ecosystem services.
