  • Patent number: 11934823
    Abstract: An electronic control system for vehicle includes a center device that manages a program update of a vehicle, and a vehicular master device that is communicable with the center device. The center device, responsive to a user giving approval for program update by using a device not being a possession owned by the user, receives approval information of the user, and stores and manages the approval information in association with vehicle information of the user. The center device transmits the approval information to the user's vehicle side. When the vehicular master device receives the approval information, the vehicular master device performs rewriting of the program.

  • Patent number: 11921603
    Abstract: Techniques of automated interoperation tracking in computing systems are disclosed herein. One example technique includes tokenizing a first event log from a first software component and a second event log from the second software component by calculating frequencies of appearance corresponding to strings in the first and second event logs and selecting, as tokens, a first subset of the strings in the first event log and a second subset of the strings in the second event log individually having calculated frequencies of appearance above a preset frequency threshold. The example technique can also include generating an overall event log for a task executed by both the first and second software components by matching one of the strings in the first subset to another of the strings in the second subset.

  • Patent number: 11922160
    Abstract: A method for managing information handling resource versions includes maintaining one or more snapshots of one or more validated release versions for a group of components. Each validated release version indicates a component version for each component in the group. Each component version in a higher validated release version is required to be greater than or equal to a corresponding component version in a lower validated release version. Responsive to identifying an instance of the component group in an non-validated state, disclosed methods identify a lowest validated release version that “covers” the non-validated state, wherein a validated release version covers any state in which no component version is greater than its corresponding component version in the validated release version. The instance of the component group is updated to a validated release version that equals or exceeds the lowest validated version.

    Abstract: The present concepts may automate and optimize deployment to a cloud computing fleet. Artificial intelligence and/or optimization algorithms may be used to find optimal deployment parameters (e.g., deployment order of computers in the fleet) that minimize deployment time and minimize deployment risk. For example, machine-learning prediction models may be used to generate a shortest path graph problem models a deployment planning problem. Then, optimization algorithms may be used to efficiently find approximations of Pareto-optimal solutions to the shortest path graph problem.

  • Patent number: 11847441
    Abstract: A secure and flexible pipeline management solution includes determining, based at least on an order in which files are received, a precedence for defining variables, and when a file has multiple definitions for a variable, the order of appearance of the definitions defines precedence. A configuration file is generated with controlling definitions, which are based on the precedences, and a continuous integration continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline is executed dependent upon the configuration file. Multiple inheritances and string interpolation are supported. An advantageous result is a significantly simplified CI/CD pipeline that is secure, flexible, and is agnostic to the target environment. Thus, adding a new environment may not require the conventional (burdensome) task of adding further logical dependencies into the pipeline itself. The disclosed solution thus enhances efficiency and reduces errors when maintaining code bases.

  • Patent number: 11816470
    Abstract: A deployment orchestrator system is disclosed that determines an impact of deploying a new version of a component of an application deployed in a computing environment. The impact of deploying the new version of the component may be determined by generating a deployment factor for deploying the new version of a component based on analyzing information that identifies both a technical and a non-technical impact of an update made to the component. In certain embodiments, the deployment orchestrator system includes capabilities for generating different deployment plans for deploying the new version of the component. Each deployment plan is tailored based on a specific deployment factor determined for the deployment. The new version of the component is then deployed based at least in part on the deployment plan to different production regions of a production environment of the deployment orchestrator system.
