Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to deploying a distributed system using operating system or container virtualization. An example apparatus includes a management container including a configuration manager and a container manager. The example configuration manager to is receive an instruction for a desired deployment state and is to apply a first change to a first current deployment state of the management container based on the desired deployment state. The example container manager is to apply a second change to a second current deployment state of a deployed container based on the desired deployment state. The container manager is to return information indicative of the desired deployment state to the configuration manager when the second change from the second current deployment state to the desired deployment state is achieved.

Abstract: A system and method secures data including sensitive data parts for exporting and securely analyzes the secure exported data. In one embodiment, the secure data may be analyzed using at least two compute elements. In one embodiment, the system may use the AES process to secure the sensitive parts of the data.
