US Patent 10936333 System and method for managing system configuration data models

A system, for managing application specific configuration data, that receives, from a local server, a standardized configuration object, at a configuration engine, for a configurable entity, generates at least one configuration object file for the configuration entity, wherein the standardized configuration object is generated based on the application specific configuration data according to a system wide metadata specification. The system can further write each configuration object file to a shared memory structure associated with a configuration file of a configurable entity. The system receives the configuration object, compares the configuration object with another standardized configuration object, and interfaces the configuration object with the configuration engine. The interfaced configuration object can be a piece of configuration. The system permits read access to the configuration engine to the configuration object, permits read and write access to the management server to the configuration object. The local management server executes in a virtual container.
