Abstract: A pipeline can be constructed for implementing a software-stack resolution process. For example, a system can receive a request from a client device for a recommended software-stack for a target software item. The system can also receive pipeline configuration data specifying configurable pipeline units to be included in the pipeline. The pipeline can include a search process for identifying and analyzing a group of software-stack candidates associated with the target software item. The system can construct the pipeline using the configurable pipeline units based on the pipeline configuration data. One or more of the configurable pipeline units can be arranged in the pipeline to guide the search process by adjusting one or more parameters of the search process. The system can then execute the pipeline and transmit a response to the client device indicating a recommended software-stack for the target software item.

Abstract: According to a disclosed embodiment, data analysis is secured with a microservice architecture and data anonymization in a multitenant application. Tenant data is received by a first microservice in a multitenant application. The tenant data is isolated from other tenant data in the first microservice and stored separately from other tenant data in a tenant database. The tenant data is anonymized in the first microservice and thereafter provided to a second microservice. The second microservice stores the anonymized tenant data in an analytics database. The second microservice, upon request, analyzes anonymized tenant data from a plurality of tenants from the analytics database and provides an analytics result to the first microservice.

Abstract: A client device includes resource caches, and a processor coupled to the resource caches. The processor receives resources from different resource feeds, and caches user interfaces (UI) of the resources from the different resource feeds, with at least one resource feed having a resource cache separate from the resource cache of the other resource feeds. Statuses of the resource feeds are determined, with at least one status indicating availability of the at least one resource feed having the separate resource cache. UI elements from the separate resource cache are retrieved for display in response to the at least one resource feed associated with the separate resource cache not being available.

Abstract: A system is provided that enables efficient traffic forwarding in a hypervisor. During operation, the hypervisor determines that a packet is from a first virtual machine (VM) running on the hypervisor and destined to a second VM running on a remote hypervisor. The hypervisor then includes a virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier of a transit VLAN (TVLAN) in a layer-2 header of the packet. The TVLAN is dedicated for inter-VM traffic associated with a distributed virtual routing (DVR) instance operating on the hypervisor and the remote hypervisor. Subsequently, the hypervisor sets a first media access control (MAC) address of the hypervisor as a source MAC address and a second MAC address of the remote hypervisor as a destination MAC address in the layer-2 header. The hypervisor then determines an egress port for the packet based on the second MAC address.

Abstract: Techniques for configuring test operations on a per-module basis are disclosed. A system receives a command for configuring, on a per-module basis, test operations recited in a set of module code corresponding to a particular module of a plurality of modules in a module system. The module system specifies accessibility of each module in the plurality of modules to other modules in the plurality of modules. The system stores configuration information based on the command and configures a test operation included in an element of the particular module based on the stored configuration information. Configuring the test operation includes one of: (a) enabling the test operation without affecting other code recited in-line with the test operation in the element of the particular module; or (b) disabling the test operation without affecting other code recited in-line with the test operation in the element of the particular module.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a manageability controller for controlling a display of a screen video. The manageability controller may receive screen video data from a hypervisor running on a host operating system (OS) that is executable by a main processing resource separate from the manageability processing resource. The screen video data may include a host OS screen video data corresponding to the host OS, a virtual machine (VM) screen video data corresponding to a VM running on the hypervisor, or both. Further, the manageability controller may store the host OS screen video data or the VM screen video data in a physical video memory based on a screen selection input.

Abstract: Routing log-based information between production servers and logging servers is disclosed. A log entry for a logging server is generated at a production server. A shard identifier is computed for a shard associated with the logging server based on application of a hashing algorithm to properties associated with the production server. The hashing algorithm and properties are selected to prevent or minimize the likelihood of computing of the same shard identifier by another production server for the same shard associated with the logging server. The log entry is transmitted to the shard associated with the logging server. A determination is made that the logging server has malfunctioned by detecting that the log entry transmitted to the shard is absent. In response, another shard identifier is computed for another shard of another logging server and a subsequent log entry from the production server is transmitted to the another shard of the another logging over. No load balancers are used by the routing system.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for centralized and dynamically generated service configurations for data center and other region builds. A computing environment may be configured to receive requests to deploy a new computing stack or service from different geographical regions at a central service. For the individual ones of the requests, the computing environment may identify computing resources of the computing environment required to deploy the new computing stack or service, determine an order of creation of the computing resources, and create at least one virtual process that automatically allocates the computing resources for the new computing stack based on a predetermined order of creation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for balancing resources in a virtual machine computing environment are disclosed. A server can receive data illustrating the configuration of host machines and virtual machines in client computing environment. A simulated computing environment can be created that mirrors the configuration of the client computing environment.

Abstract: A virtual machine management service obtains a request to instantiate a virtual machine image (VMI) to implement a virtual network function (VNF). The request specifies a set of processor requirements corresponding to instantiation of the VMI. In response to the request, the service identifies, from a server comprising a set of processor cores, available processor capacity. The service determines, based on the available processor capacity and the set of processor requirements, whether to instantiate the VMI on to a subset of processor cores of the server. Based on this determination, the service instantiates the VMI on to the subset of processor cores to implement the VNF.

Each of the code generation services is configured to select a subset of the actions that can be executed by the corresponding software application, and to generate second actions to be executed by the corresponding software application that implement the subset of the actions. The method also includes providing a job definition for the task including each of the second actions for each of the software applications.

Abstract: Systems and methods for remote debugging perform remote debugging of a receiving device, such as a set-top box or other connected media player, even when the receiving device is located behind a firewall. The receiving device has a persistent outbound connection with a message server. Since it is an outbound connection, it connects across firewall restrictions. A remote debug machine sends a message via the message server to the receiving device over a network. The message carries the command/operation to be executed by the receiving device. The receiving device, which receives the command, executes the command and sends the output of the command to a debug data upload server to which the remote debug machine has access.

Abstract: In response to a request to remove a PCI device from a virtual machine (VM), a processing device may transmit, to a guest operating system (OS) of a VM, an indication that a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device connected to the VM has been disconnected such that the PCI device appears disconnected to a PCI port driver of the guest OS and simultaneously communicates with a device driver of the guest OS. The processing device may transmit a device removal request to the device driver. The removal request may be transmitted to the device driver without the delay associated with the “push button” approach to device removal since the guest OS already believes the PCI device has been disconnected from the VM. A graceful removal of the device driver may be performed and the PCI device may be disconnected from the VM.

Abstract: A code repository stores application code. A code management determines, based at least in part on requested features selected in a graphical user interface, code requirements that include attributes of application code needed to achieve the requested features. The code management system determines, based at least in part on the determined code requirements and the metadata for each entry of application code stored in the code repository, one or more candidate application code entries from the code repository. The code management system presents the candidate application code entries for user selection in the graphical user interface. After receipt of a user selection of a selected application code, the selected application code is provided to a computing device associated with the user.

Abstract: A method and computer program for generating code coverage information during testing of a code sequence are described, in which the code sequence comprises decisions, each having one or more conditions as inputs. The method includes executing the code sequence on target processing circuitry under the control of test stimuli and maintaining, in memory, a code coverage table for at least one decision. When a decision is evaluated, a bitstring is created within a storage element, each position in the bitstring being associated with one of the conditions and the value in that position representing the value of that condition used in evaluating the decision. The bitstring is used to identify the entry, in the code coverage table associated with the evaluated decision, for that combination of values of the conditions, and a confirmation value is recorded in that entry, indicating that the decision has been evaluated for that entry.
