Abstract: The present application is directed to stranded resource recovery in a cloud computing environment. A resource utilization signal at each of a plurality of nodes that each hosts corresponding virtual machines (VMs) is measured. Based on each resource utilization signal, a set of candidate nodes is identified. Each candidate node comprises a stranded resource that is unutilized due to utilization of a bottleneck resource. The identification includes calculating an amount of the stranded resource at each candidate node. From a plurality of VMs hosted at the set of candidate nodes, a set of candidate VMs is identified for migration for stranded resource recovery. The identification includes calculating a score for each candidate VM based on a degree of imbalance between the stranded resource and the bottleneck resource at a candidate node hosting the candidate VM. Migration of at least one candidate VM in the set of candidate VMs is initiated.

Further, the computer system may receive a second request to obtain a second license associated with the first product or a second product from a second client system. In response, the computer system may (a) select a second blockchain from multiple blockchains, and (b) generate and store a second NFT on the second blockchain to issue the second license.

A ratio of a bandwidth of the first channel to a minimum channel bandwidth supported in the first frequency band is equal to a ratio of a bandwidth of the second channel to a minimum channel bandwidth supported in the second frequency band, and the minimum channel bandwidth supported in the first frequency band is greater than the minimum channel bandwidth supported in the second frequency band.

Abstract: Data usage by networking and data processing services is measured using a timeslot system. The timeslots have multiple states for collecting, collecting with processing, and expired timeslots. Data from upstream components is reported to local manager clusters and placed into timeslots corresponding to a timestamp of the data. Data can be reported from local managers to an entitlement service and/or a cloud service portal. Timing inconsistencies due to latency or processing time can be resolved by accounting for a timestamp difference using a timestamp difference value between the timeslot time and the reporting time. Data can be deduplicated, cleaned, and/or compacted. Data can be also be version controlled, with timeslots maintaining a version number. Complete and accurate tracking of data usage and associated costs is improved by reporting and collecting usage data using state-based timeslots.
