Abstract: Techniques facilitating representing and analyzing cloud computing data as pseudo systems are provided. A system comprises a memory that stores, and a processor that executes, computer executable components. The computer executable components comprise a framework component and a generation component. The framework component can recreate a system state of a computing device as a pseudo system state for the computing device. The pseudo system state can be decoupled from an original operating state of the computing device and can comprise data abstracted from the original operating state. The data abstracted can mimic an operation of the computing device. The generation component can create the pseudo system state and can facilitate black-box execution of software over the pseudo system state. The black-box execution of software can comprise running applications in the pseudo system state as if the applications were executing in the original operating state of the computing device.

Abstract: A sandbox component, operatively coupled to a host and a guest container, the sandbox component securely extends systems data collection software with potentially untrusted third-party code. A secure environment is enabled where plugins will run inside a sidecar container that is separate from a guest container. A container consists of an entire runtime environment: an application, plus its dependencies, libraries and other binaries, and configuration files needed to run it, bundled into one package. A sidecar service is not necessarily part of the application but is connected to the guest container and follows the parent application. A sidecar is independent from its primary application in terms of runtime environment and programming language. The sidecar plugin will be given a sparse/limited set of privileges required to simply perform its intended function and the Linux kernel constructs will control data access and transfer.

Abstract: A container cloud platform that allows software functions to be shared by multiple applications in different application containers is provided. The service functions are containerized and disaggregated from the application containers. The containerized services are delivered as a capsule for applications that invoke the service functions at application runtime. The images of the service containers are deployed at the host computing devices operating the corresponding application containers. The container cloud platform monitors the deployed service containers for their execution as well as their termination.

Abstract: Techniques facilitating compliance aware service registry and load balancing are provided. A system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an extraction component that removes a service from a load balancer ring based on a first determination by a verification component that a compliance state of the service is a non-compliant state. Further, the computer executable components can comprise an insertion component that adds the service to the load balancer ring based on a second determination by the verification component that, after a defined amount of time, the compliance state of the service is a compliant state.

Abstract: Protecting and restoring data within a networked (e.g. cloud) storage computing environment through asynchronous replication and remote backup of data and its associated metadata. Data backup and recovery functionality provides data backups by detecting incremental updates to the data and its associated metadata at specific points in time determined by policies. The policies are configurable based on user requirements. Multiple copies of the data backups can be made and stored in separate compressed files at backup/disaster recovery locations. The backups of data and its associated metadata, which includes file system configuration information can be used to restore the state of a computer file system to that of a given point-in-time. Accordingly, a data protection approach is disclosed for protecting data at both the file system level and application level.

Abstract: Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate compliance-aware runtime generation of containers are provided.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for providing cooperative caching in a distributed system. A cache and a communicator are provided at a node in a distributed system. The communicator is used to communicate with at least one other node with respect to related data stored at the node and the at least one other node, via: communicating a status of the cache at the node and receiving notification of a status of at least one cache of at least one other node. There is updated, upon communicating with the at least one other node, at least one of: a cache replacement policy at the node and a cache pre-fetching policy at the node. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

Abstract: A service method and associated system is provided. The method includes generating event types for events and services associated with the events. Virtual or physical machines associated with the services are provisioned and a message associated with a first event is published. The message is routed to a queue of a second service and the second service is notified of the message. The services are enabled and a selection for a sub-set of the services is received. The selection is enabled.
