Drone Formation Commercial Software:

This is an addendum to the discussion about Drone Formation Commercial Software as described in this document. In this section, we describe the infrastructure for various businesses operating on the software-as-a-service platform described in the document. Each business gets a deployment stamp that comprises of various resources in standard format that can be scaled or customized according to the size and requirements of the business but begin with a standard edition of set of resources. The SaaS offering comes with a high-availability architecture for the businesses by virtue of its performance, scalability and availability. This multi-instance architecture will meet and exceed stringent requirements surrounding data sovereignty, availability and performance. Each stamp comes with redundant components and multiple network paths to avoid single points of failure. The platform itself has a multi-homed network with multiple connections to the internet and comes with pairs of components that maintain continuous replication between replicas. These digital twins can withstand failures and support the combined production loads providing business continuity and disaster recovery. Operations can be transferred from one component of the stamp to another seamlessly. With these assurances, the business operations will never experience a downtime, and transfers will always be successful. A multi-tenant architecture for the platform ensures isolation for each business hosted on the infrastructure. Each business gets its own dashboard to monitor ongoing usage and for troubleshooting. Measurement and billing will make use of tags and labels for the underlying cloud resources. Wherever appropriate, deep monitoring will be involved to provide recommendations above and beyond those available from the public cloud.

Tens of billions of transactions can be expected to come from various drones of different tenants and the databases including the provisioned configuration management database will handle that load. A follow-the-sun model provides continual security, operational monitoring and support of various resources. Traditional data backup and recovery will be supported so that inadvertent deletes can be mitigated with restoration. Full and deferential backups will augment the aging and tiering best practices of the data management. Failovers will not only be planned but also routinely performed or tested. The current passive system is designated as active during the failover and mapping and name resolutions will automatically work out.

Most customers will appreciate the importance of querying abilities provided with this platform from its read-only stack that will serve the position, location and health information of drones in near real-time basis. The querying language will seamlessly integrate with the resource graph queries available on the public cloud for enhanced visibility into decision-making logic and cloud-resource consumption corresponding to a drone or a set of drones. The platform is uniquely positioned to offer both operational as well as management information on the drones for all the businesses.
