US Patent 11449354 Apparatus, systems, and methods for composable distributed computing

Embodiments disclosed facilitate specification, configuration, orchestration, deployment, and management of composable distributed systems. A method to realize a composable distributed system may comprise: determining, based on a system composition specification for the distributed system, one or more cluster configurations, wherein the system composition specification comprises, for each cluster, a corresponding cluster specification and a corresponding cluster profile, which may comprise a corresponding software stack specification. First software stack images applicable to a first plurality of nodes in a first cluster may be obtained based on a corresponding first software stack specification, which may be comprised in a first cluster profile associated with the first cluster. Deployment of the first cluster may be initiated by instantiating the first cluster in a first cluster configuration in accordance with a corresponding first cluster specification, wherein each of the first plurality of nodes is instantiated using the corresponding first software stack images.
