Abstract: Techniques are described for managing internet-of-things (IoT) devices, such as managing the storage of data generated by the IoT devices, managing the access, to the data, by users, processes, and/or other entities, managing command and control of the devices, and so forth. In some implementations, an IoT platform is provided for IoT device management, and the IoT platform can be agnostic with respect to providers. For example, the IoT platform may provide one or more common interfaces that enable communications with IoT devices that are manufactured by different device providers. In some implementations, a distributed ledger system (DLS) is employed to facilitate IoT device management. For example, the DLS can act as a gateway and/or overall interface to control access of users, processes, devices, IoT device providers, and/or other entities to the IoT devices and/or to an IoT platform.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a monitoring algorithm that ensures that each step of an automated virtual machine reclamation process executes correctly before moving on to the next step. After each step of the process, some implementations can determine whether the resulting data is correct. If the resulting data is incorrect, some implementations can initially revert any fields updated by the process to their correct value. Some implementations can further decide whether to resubmit the virtual machine for reclamation automatically, or queue it for manual review based on, for example, multiple or repeated failures, server or data center failures, etc. Thus, some implementations can not only automate each step of the reclamation process, but also provide process evaluation and error detection for the reclamation process.

Abstract: A system and method for disabling distracting apps on a driver's personal devices while allowing passengers travelling in the same vehicle to have full use of their personal devices. The system works by first identifying all the personal devices that are in the vehicle and then establishing a loose mesh network between those devices. Once the mesh network is established, the system identifies which of the personal devices is associated with the driver, and ensures that any distracting apps on the driver's personal device are disabled, while allowing full functionality for any passenger's personal devices.
