US Patent 10498595 Converged resources across satellite nodes

Systems, methods, and software described herein provide enhancements for the deployment and management of converged resources across satellites, aircraft, and ground-based nodes to perform user tasks and applications. In one implementation, a method includes identifying a request for a logical node and identifying physical requirements of the logical node. The method further includes selecting physical nodes from a plurality of physical nodes to support the physical requirements of the logical node and distributing configuration data to the physical nodes to implement the logical node.
