Os installation image deployment system and method
The granted patent US12045597B2 describes a computer system designed to streamline the installation of operating systems and applications on target computer devices. Central to this system is a deployment server that utilizes a bundle builder to create and deploy operating system (OS) installation images. The process begins with the server reading a configuration file, which guides the collection of electronic files necessary for constructing packages across three layers: system, kernel, and application. These packages are then consolidated into a single OS installation image file, which is transmitted over a network to the target computer device for installation. The system supports multiple target servers, allowing for the deployment of different OS installation images based on varying configuration files.
Additionally, the patent outlines the method for generating these OS installation images, emphasizing the flexibility to adapt to new configurations and packages. The application layer includes user application files, while the system layer is derived from a root file system with specific environment configurations. The kernel layer comprises essential operating system components. The electronic files can be sourced from local storage, file servers, or cloud servers, ensuring a versatile approach to file collection. The system also allows for updates by reading new configuration files that can introduce new packages, which can be sent to target servers for installation. Overall, this patent presents a comprehensive framework for efficient OS deployment and management in networked environments.
