Abstract: It is determined that an expiration date for an object associated with a first archive that includes a chunk object that includes a plurality of data chunks has expired. The first archive is stored in a first cloud performance storage class according to an archive tiering policy.

In response to determining that the archive tiering policy indicates migrating the plurality of data chunks included in the chunk object from the first cloud performance storage class to the second cloud performance storage class, the plurality of data chunks included in the chunk object are migrated from the first cloud performance storage class to the second cloud performance storage class.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention are directed towards techniques for validating performance degradation of cloud deployed application from neighbor based variability. Historical runs of an application deployed in a cloud environment are received. In these embodiments, a subset of these historical runs, using associated performance metrics recorded during the historical runs, are compared against performance metrics of a current version of the application which is deployed in a cloud environment to determine a subset of historical runs similar to the current version. The determined subset is then used to draw comparisons with performance metrics of a baseline run of the application to validate if a performance degradation has occurred by updating the application to the current version, reducing the impact of neighbor-based variability on evaluating performance degradation.

The inverter can be operated using near-state pulse-width modulation (NSPWM) to reduce switching losses.
