Abstract: A diagnostics collection script is included in a container image. When an original instance of the container fails, a new instance of the container is started using the container image using a Docker compose YAML file having the diagnostics collection script as an entrypoint. The diagnostics collection script is configured to collect the logs of the original (now failed) container during the container start operation. In this manner, the container is able to be started in a safe mode and is isolated to only run the diagnostics collection script without disturbing the container's original settings. By recreating the exact environment of the failed container, and running diagnostics on the environment, it is possible to obtain the log files from the original container as well as to implement diagnostic operations on the environment of the original container, which can then be used to help diagnose why the original container failed.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to improved techniques for managing a data storage device (DSD) pool, and in particular the selecting of DSDs based on commands distribution and latencies among the command queues in the DSDs. In some aspects, a DSD may have multiple queues that enable the DSD to perform certain commands (e.g., write commands and/or read commands) in parallel. Thus, such DSD has various head-of-line blocking latencies based on which queue the command is directed to. A storage management device can reduce the command latency of the DSDs, for example, based on queue information (e.g., head-of-line blocking, parallel queue utilization, etc.) learned from the DSDs.

Abstract: An electronic device includes at least one external surface comprised of a material whose texture can be dynamically changed by a device-generated trigger. The device includes: at least one sensor that detects a support condition of the device; and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor and to a component that provides the device-generated trigger. The controller: receives, from the sensor, sensor input corresponding to the support condition; and evaluates the received sensor input to determine whether a current support condition is one that triggers the controller to cause a change in the texture of the external surface material. In response to the current support condition being one that triggers the change in the texture of the external surface material, the controller transmits a signal to the component, which activates the component to provide the device-generated trigger, causing the change in the texture of the external surface material.

Abstract: An electronic device includes an external panel material having an exterior visual characteristic that can be dynamically changed by a device-generated trigger. A controller of the device is communicatively coupled to at least one orientation sensor. The controller receives an input corresponding to a first context pre-identified as a condition that triggers a change in the exterior visual characteristic of the material. The controller identifies from sensor input received from the at least one orientation sensor whether the electronic device is in a first orientation that enables the external panel to be visible to a device user. In response to the electronic device being in the first orientation concurrently with receiving the input corresponding to the first context, the controller generates and transmits a change activation signal that changes the exterior visual characteristic of the external panel material from a first visible state to a second visible state.
