  • Patent number: 11836535
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for a multi-cloud bursting service. An example method can include receiving, via a cloud bursting service associated with different clouds, a cloud bursting configuration enabling the cloud bursting service for a local compute environment; based on the cloud bursting configuration, determining a number of jobs in a jobs queue associated with one or more cloud environments from the different clouds; determining a number of nodes available to process the number of jobs in the jobs queue; based on the number of jobs in the jobs queue and number of nodes available, determining whether to spin up a new node, take offline an existing node, or shutdown the existing node to yield a determination; and based on the determination and cloud bursting configuration, performing a cloud bursting action including spinning up the new node, taking offline the existing node, or shutting down the existing node.

  • Patent number: 11134013
    Abstract: In some examples, a multi-cloud bursting service generates cloud agnostic burst templates for bursting workload environments on different clouds, each of the cloud agnostic burst templates defining a stack for a workload environment and tasks for provisioning cloud resources and deploying, on the cloud resources, the workload environment associated with the stack, the stack including applications, libraries, services, data, and/or an operating system. The multi-cloud bursting service can receive, from a local compute environment, a request to burst the workload environment onto a selected cloud and, based on a cloud agnostic burst template identified for the request, provision the cloud resources from the selected cloud and deploy the workload environment on the cloud resources from the selected cloud.

  • Patent number: 8500039
    Abstract: A remote spray nozzle actuating device for spray cans has a spray can holder assembly for holding a spray can, the further including a wireless activator assembly; and a wireless transmitter for remotely activating the wireless activator assembly causing the spray nozzle to be actuated. The spray can holder assembly further has a trigger. The trigger is connected to the wireless activator assembly wherein movement of the trigger actuates a spray nozzle. The wireless activator assembly has a wireless receiver; a power supply; a control circuit; and an actuator. The actuator is connected to the control circuit and wherein upon activating the wireless transmitter a signal is received in the receiver and transmitted to the control circuit to activate the actuator causing the trigger to move activating the nozzle of the held spray can.
