SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CUSTOMIZING AND PROGRAMMING A CLOUD-BASED MANAGEMENT SERVER

摘要

Systems and methods for managing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provided by a virtual machine are described. The system may include a management application, and may receive a feature package from the virtual machine. The feature package may be associated with a function supported by the virtual machine. The system may integrate the feature package into the management application, and transmit a first command to the virtual machine for executing the function at the virtual machine. The first command may be generated by the management application based on the feature package.

1. A method for managing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provided by a cloud of one or more virtual machines, the method being performed in a system comprising a processor and a memory coupled with the processor, the method comprising:
transmitting, by an agent application executing on a virtual machine in the cloud, a feature package to a management system in response to adding a new function to the cloud, wherein the one or more virtual machines are created based on a virtual machine template, and the feature package enables a management application in the management system to configure the virtual machine and issue a first command for executing the new function at the virtual machine; and in response to receiving, by the agent application from the management application, the first command, invoking execution of a first operation of the agent application, wherein the first operation is associated with the new function.
