Abstract: According to one implementation, a system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a software code including a trained neural network (NN). The hardware processor executes the software code to receive an input image including a pixel anomaly, identify, using the trained NN, one or more salient regions of the input image, and determine whether the pixel anomaly is located inside any of the one or more salient regions. The hardware processor further executes the software code to assign a first priority to the pixel anomaly when it is determined that the pixel anomaly is located inside any of the one or more salient regions, and to assign a second priority, lower than the first priority, to the pixel anomaly when it is determined that the pixel anomaly is not located inside any of the one or more salient regions.

In one example, a computer system may obtain cluster add-on definition information specifying multiple add-ons that are each capable of extending functionality of at least a first cluster and a second cluster. In response to receiving a first instruction to perform a first management action, a first validation operation may be performed based on the cluster add-on definition information and multiple first configuration values associated the multiple first configuration fields. In response to receiving a second instruction to perform a second management action associated with the second add-on, a second validation operation may be performed based on the cluster add-on definition information and multiple second configuration values associated the multiple second configuration fields. The first/second management action may be performed in response to determination that the first/second validation operation is successful.
