  • Tool for managing and allocating resources in a clustered computing environment
    Patent number: 11102281
    Abstract: This present invention is directed towards a container orchestration system such as Kubernetes in which pods monitor themselves to determine if they are likely to require additional resources or vertical scaling within a given timeframe. If the pod determines that it will need additional processing power it notifies the state manager to begin allocating these resources on the same node or a different virtual or physical node before the CPU usage reaches 99%+. The state manager receives this request and allocates the necessary resources ahead of time. When the pod's CPU usage reaches 99%+, the state manager will remove the pod from the existing node and moves the application to the new pod on a different node in which sufficient resources are allocated. This invention brings about efficient utilization of nodes.

  • Transferring tasks from failing devices using IoT
    Patent number: 10795721
    Abstract: In a transfer of tasks between devices in a network, a failing device determines that it will not complete a task. The failing device compares the requirements of the task with sets of device capabilities on a device list, where each set is associated with a device in the network. The failing device determines that the requirements of the task matches, a set of device capabilities associated with a given device, and in response, sends a request to transfer the given task to the given device. When a rejection of the request is received, the failing device compares the requirements of the task with remaining sets of device capabilities on the device list, determines that the requirements of the task matches a second set of device capabilities associated with a second given device, and in response, sends a second request to transfer the task to the second given device.

  • Poisoned message detection system
    Patent number: 10715469
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for processing messages. A message is received from a producer by a computer system. The message is sent to a consumer by the computer system. The message is sent to a set of consumers in addition to the consumer by the computer system in response to an adverse condition being present for the consumer after sending the message the consumer. A set of actions is performed in response to the adverse condition being present in the set of consumers receiving the message.
