  • Patent number: 11961039
    Abstract: Techniques are described for linked blockchains that allow computing devices to access information from an acceptance blockchain about acceptance reports stored in an enterprise delivery blockchain that are also linked to a product blockchain that stores information of the products of the acceptance reports. An acceptance report is indicative of operability of a product in a service provided by a service provider. A processor is configured to access the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, retrieve the acceptance report from the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, determine an identifier, identified in the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, to a block in an acceptance blockchain, access the block in the acceptance blockchain via the determined identifier, retrieve from the block in the acceptance blockchain contextual information of the acceptance report, and output the acceptance report and contextual information of the acceptance report.

  • Publication number: 20210211393
    Abstract: An approach is provided for generating a scaling plan. Plans for onboarding first tenant(s) a cloud computing environment and offboarding second tenant(s) of the cloud computing environment are received. Historical data about behavior of tenants of the cloud computing environment is received. Based on the received plans and the historical data, a scaling plan for scaling computer resources of external systems during the onboarding and the offboarding is generated. The scaling plan specifies a timeline indicating dates and times at which changes in workloads associated with the external systems are required for the onboarding and the offboarding. Based on the scaling plan, a scaling is determined to be needed for computer resource(s) of one of the external systems. Responsive to determining that the scaling is needed, the scaling for the computer resource(s) is triggered at a date and a time indicated by the timeline.

  • Patent number: 10972567
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable generation of a multi-dimensional tag metric in a cloud resource management environment. More specifically, a tagging namespace is provided for managing a resource in the cloud resource management environment. This namespace comprises at least two dimensions and a plurality of positions. A set of tags associated with the resource are received into the tagging namespace. A match of each tag of the set of tags to a position within the namespace into which that tag was received is verified and an alert is triggered in the case verification fails. Alternatively, in the case verification is successful, the tag-containing namespace is validated as a multi-dimensional tag metric.
