US Patent 10193879 Method and system for software application deployment

A method and system for deploying applications. The method includes deploying an application image of an application to a computing device, where the application is accessible using a first uniform resource locator (URL). The method also includes sending an application creation message to an authoritative domain name system (DNS) server to create a record mapping the first URL to a second URL. The first URL is in a first domain and the second URL is in a second domain. The method further includes providing, to the computing device, a digital certificate associated with the application. The method further includes generating certificate data using the digital certificate and sending, to a remote application server, the second URL and certificate data. A client software module may establish a connection to the application on the computing device using the second URL and the certificate data.
