Abstract: Various systems and methods are described for deployment, import, and scheduling of containers and other software components on cloud and edge computing hardware. A development platform may receive, from a remote location, package data for a deployment of one or more containers, including a configuration for the one or more containers. Such package data may be provided by a Helm chart or a Docker Compose YAML file. The development platform may extract the configuration for the one or more containers from the package data, and also perform a security evaluation of the one or more containers and the configuration for the one or more containers to validate compliance with a security policy. The development platform may execute (and coordinate scheduling) of one or more container images for the one or more containers, based on the configuration, after validating compliance with the security policy.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method for context aware data backup may include determining a first set of files that are altered during normal operation of a computer system and storing the first set of files at a destination location. The method may include determining a second set of files that are altered during normal operation of the computer system and determining a size difference between the first set of files and the second set of files. The method may also include determining a time difference between a first time taken to copy the first set of files and a second time taken to copy a previous set of files to the destination location. The method may include determining that the size difference and the time difference meet a threshold for backup and storing the second set of files at the destination location.
