  • Optimization of resources providing public cloud services based on adjustable inactivity monitor and instance archiver
    Patent number: 11726952
    Abstract: Techniques described herein automatically check for persistently inactive instances, based on defined metrics, and auto-archive such instances to lower-cost cloud resources. An inactivity time threshold is dynamically adjustable to a longer or shorter time period based on current load running on limited/more expensive resources to more aggressively or less aggressively archive the inactive instances, thus enabling additional active instances to run on the limited/more expensive resources and supporting more total users.
    Type: Grant

  • API for obtaining unambiguous representation of objects in a relational database
    Patent number: 7818328
    Abstract: Various techniques for providing an application program interface (API) that facilitates the retrieval of information stored in a configuration repository directly from the configuration repository are provided. The API provides a direct channel of communication into the configuration repository through which a user can obtain an unambiguous representation of the objects in the configuration repository. When requested, the API retrieves an object or objects from the configuration repository, translates the retrieved result into an intermediate, well-defined representation that unambiguously represents the requested object or objects, and provides the requestor the unambiguous representation of the object or objects.
