Abstract: Techniques for remediating drift in real cloud infrastructure from desired cloud infrastructure. In one technique, a configuration graph is generated based on first infrastructure configuration code. A deployed state of a cloud infrastructure is generated based on a data schema and a current state of the cloud infrastructure. Resources indicated in the deployed state are matched to nodes in the configuration graph. Based on differences between the resources and the nodes, the configuration graph is updated to generate an updated configuration graph. Based on the updated configuration graph, second infrastructure configuration code is generated that is different than the first infrastructure configuration code.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes data. During operation, the system obtains a set of records, wherein each of the records comprises one or more metrics and at least one dimension associated with the one or more metrics. Next, the system creates a data segment from the records by sorting the records by a primary sort column having a first set of possible values, creating a set of dictionaries for a set of columns in the records, and building a set of forward indexes for the columns using the set of dictionaries.
