The vehicle-mounted GW apparatus records reception OK or reception NG of the software in the mobile body-side log information associated with the delivery-side log information, and transmits the reception result to the SW update apparatus.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for forecasting container-based resource usage. During operation, the system obtains time-series data containing resource allocations for applications deployed in one or more containers within a set of hosts. Next, the system applies one or more machine learning models to the time-series data to estimate a growth rate associated with use of a resource by an application. The system then determines an increase in allocation of the resource to the application that supports the estimated growth rate. Finally, the system outputs the increase in allocation for use in managing use of resources within the set of hosts.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a processing device of a monitoring node, an indication over a network that a virtual machine successfully migrated from a first host to a second host. The indication includes a virtual machine address of the virtual machine executing on the second host. The method also includes, responsive to the indication that the virtual machine successfully migrated from the first host to the second host, starting to monitor incoming packets of the monitoring node for an incoming packet that includes a source address field having the virtual machine address, and, upon determining, after a threshold period of time, that none of the incoming packets include the source address field having the virtual machine address, notifying a reporting node that the incoming packet was not received to facilitate performance of an action to reduce downtime of communication with the virtual machine over the network.

Abstract: A virtual machine manager facilitates selective code integrity enforcement. A virtual machine manager (or other higher privileged entity) can verify the integrity of code in memory pages, and a virtual processor running in kernel mode executes the code on a memory page only if the virtual machine manager (or other higher privileged entity) has verified the code integrity of that code. However, the virtual machine manager need not verify the integrity of code in memory pages when the virtual processor is running in user mode. Rather, an operating system running on the virtual processor can apply any of a variety of policies (e.g., optionally perform any of a variety of different checks or verifications of the code) to determine whether the code can be executed in user mode.

Abstract: A data processing system in which a host processor prepares command streams for causing an accelerator of the data processing system to perform processing tasks for an application executing on the host processor, each command stream including a sequence of commands for implementation by the accelerator. When a request for processing includes protected content, the host processor includes within a command for a command stream, an indication that a subsequent sequence of one or more command(s) within that command stream associated with the protected content is to be implemented by the accelerator in a protected mode of operation. Then, when that command is executed, the accelerator initiates or requests a switch into the protected mode of operation.

Abstract: An approach to improving system availability. Availability data for individual resources may be obtained from configuration templates and stored in an Availability Graph. The graph is traversed to calculate availability statistics at a grouped component and at an overall architecture level and grouping components level. Revisions may be made to enhance overall availability levels, and the revised Availability Graph can also be exported as an implementable configuration file. As a result, this solution provides a structured way to detect and resolve availability bottlenecks.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating configuration files using executable template language statements. One of the methods includes receiving a configuration template file for a structured configuration language that defines nodes, relationships between nodes, and, for each of one or more nodes, associates metadata with the node. A reserved character pattern is identified in the configuration template file attached to text that defines a node in the structured configuration language, wherein the reserved character pattern has one or more associated statements in an executable template language. A graph representation is generated that includes the node corresponding to the text. Statements in the executable template language associated with the reserved character pattern are executed to generate associated metadata for the node.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for generating a machine image from a software package. A machine image build service receives a request to create a machine image, such as by way of a network services application programming interface (API). The request can include the software package and a selection of an operating system. The machine image build service utilizes a workflow service to execute a workflow for generating the machine image. The workflow causes a virtual machine instance that utilizes the specified operating system to be instantiated by an on-demand computing service. The software package is installed in the virtual machine instance. A snapshot is taken of the virtual machine to create the requested machine image. The machine image can be scanned by a network service for compliance with one or more requirements for execution in a service provider network. The machine image can also be submitted to a machine image marketplace.
