Abstract: Techniques for managing node failures in container environments are disclosed. In one example, a method determines when a first node executing at least one containerized workload has failed. In response to determining the first node has failed, the method marks a configuration object for the first node with an indicator that the first node is not to be used to schedule execution of a subsequent containerized workload, isolates from the first node one or more storage volumes used by the first node, and deletes configuration objects for the one or more storage volumes and for the containerized workload. The method then causes creation of a replacement containerized workload for execution on a second node, removes one or more artifacts associated with the containerized workload from the first node, and removes the indicator from the configuration object for the first node.

Abstract: A topology configuration system receives a graphic representation comprising object images of information handling systems to be configured for operating as a complex collection of information handling systems, uses artificial intelligence and deep learning to analyze images on the graphic representation and determine specific information handling systems present in the complex collection of information handling systems. A requirement list is used to create a configuration job. Sets of user instructions are sent to a user to guide the user and sets of device instructions are sent to each information handling system so that the user can configure the plurality of information handling systems to operate as the complex collection of information handling systems. Validation packets may be sent to each information handling system to confirm the complex collection of information handling systems is set up quickly and with little or no troubleshooting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the separation of aromatic hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon feed stream comprising contacting a hydrocarbon feed stream with a solvent for aromatics (aromatics solvent) to provide an aromatics-laden solvent stream and subjecting the aromatics-laden solvent stream to solvent regeneration to provide regenerated aromatics solvent and an aromatics stream.

Abstract: A process for producing benzene comprising the steps of: (a) separating a source feedstream comprising C5-C12 hydrocarbons including benzene and alkylbenzenes into a first feedstream comprising a higher proportion of benzene than the source feedstream and a second feedstream comprising a lower proportion of benzene than the source feedstream and subsequently, (b) contacting the first feedstream in the presence of hydrogen with a first hydrocracking catalyst, and (c) contacting the second feedstream with hydrogen under second process conditions to produce a second product stream comprising benzene, wherein i) the second process conditions are suitable for hydrocracking and step (c) involves contacting the second feedstream in the presence of hydrogen with a second hydrocracking catalyst, ii) the second process conditions are suitable for toluene disproportionation and involve contacting the second feedstream with a toluene disproportionation catalyst or iii) the second process conditions are suitable for
