Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. A computing system comprising:
a processor; and
computer storage memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which,
when executed by the processor, configure the computing system to:
initiate deployment of an execution manager that manages execution of data collection, wherein deployment of the execution manager executes the execution manager on a managing job within a container-managed platform, and wherein the deployment of the execution manger is initiated in response to a data collection parameter included in a data collection request;
initiate, by the execution manager, deployment of a discover coordinator on a first pod associated with a first job and a first connector on a second pod associated with a second job, wherein the discover coordinator manages the first connector that generates tasks to collect data, and wherein the discover coordinator provides the generated tasks to a task queue for providing to a collect coordinator;
initiate, by the execution manager, deployment of the collect coordinator on a third pod within the container-managed platform, wherein the third pod is created by a third job of the container-managed platform, wherein upon deployment the collect coordinator executes data collection tasks;
initiate, by the execution manager, deployment of a second connector on a fourth pod of the container-managed platform, wherein the fourth pod is created by a fourth job of the container-managed platform that is separate from the third job, wherein the collect coordinator executing on the third pod is configured to manage the second connector executing on the fourth pod, and wherein the second connector is configured to collect data from a remote data source;
obtain, by the second connector, a set of data from the remote data source; and
output, by the second connector, the set of data to the collect coordinator.
