Patent attributes
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe configuration agents, or “config-agents,” that can identify new PaaS component configuration information when a software system instance is deployed or updated without requiring a developer to manually configure each PaaS component instance whenever a new software system instance is installed or updated. In some examples, config-agents retrieve new configuration information from configuration files associated with the software system instances such as ConfigMaps and/or Custom Resource Objects of a Custom Resource Definition type operated on by the config-agents. The config-agents can keep track of each software system instance and PaaS component instance and ensure that necessary configurations are passed onto PaaS component instances.
