  • Publication number: 20240126614
    Abstract: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes, in response to receiving a request against the workload in an environment comprising predetermined cloud-based containers, searching predetermined container runtime interface metadata across a plurality of compute nodes in the environment to locate runtime processes. The method further includes selecting, for each runtime process located, a respective applicable profiler from a set of predetermined profilers sharing a transactional database. The method further includes injecting, for each runtime process located, predetermined code libraries for each respective applicable profiler. The method further includes re-linking the predetermined code libraries for each respective applicable profiler. The method further includes executing, for each runtime process located, each respective applicable profiler to produce a set of results.

  • Patent number: 11762644
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system for server provisioning and deployment. The method includes receiving a deployment configuration for a server. The deployment configuration includes a requested software build and a requested installation of an application and configuration for the server. The method also includes reconfiguring hardware on the server based on the deployment configuration and via an out-of-band management card on the server and pushing a boot loader on to the server for installation of an operating system. The method further includes performing an installation of the operating system on the server, transmitting an auto configuration file to the server. The auto configuration file provides installation properties relating to the application. The method also includes monitoring a status of the server during the installation of the application using a serial terminal output on the server.

  • Patent number: 4926665
    Abstract: A key holding system comprises one or more locks responsive to key codes stored by a programmable key to enable the selective operation of that lock. The key is programmed by a key programmer carried by the key holder or installed in a vehicle. A database of key codes related to individual locks is maintained at a remote station and the code required by the key to operate a particular lock is communicated, subject to any required validation, e.g., as to the identity of the key holder, to the key programmer. Various methods of increasing security of the system are disclosed.
