  • Publication number: 20170364377
    Abstract: Application code is obtained at a compiler toolchain, which accesses a package manager that tracks dependencies for a set of software components including application-level components represented as application-level packages, hypervisor interface-level components represented as hypervisor interface-level packages, and hypervisor-level components represented as hypervisor-level packages. A dependency solver is employed to select a sub-set of the set of packages that satisfy the dependencies.

  • Patent number: 9588739
    Abstract: Web API recommendations for a context of an application are provided. A ranked list of recommended Web APIs and a set of Web API recommendations regarding the context of the application is sent to a client device via a network. In response to determining that a selection of a set of Web APIs in the ranked list of recommended Web APIs was received, the set of Web APIs selected is added to the context of the application to generate a new context of the application. A display of a relationship among the set of Web APIs added to the new context of the application is sent to the client device via the network.

  • Publication number: 20170034046
    Abstract: For multipathing using a network of overlays, a set of virtual network interfaces (VNICs) corresponding to a physical network interface (PNIC) is created in a first data processing system. A first virtual network interface (VNIC) from the set of VNICs is bound to a virtual machine (VM) executing in a first data processing environment across a data network from the first data processing system. During a data communication with a second data processing system, data is divided into a first portion and a second portion, the first portion using a first path from the first VNIC to the first VM to the second data processing system, and the second portion using a second path from the PNIC to the second data processing system.

  • Publication number: 20160246592
    Abstract: A system for extending application programming interfaces provided by web service providers to interface with web services includes an application programming interface extender; a plurality of application programming interface extensions; and a catalog of the application programming interface extensions. The catalog logically links the application programming interface extensions with the application programming interfaces and provides an interface to first developers who upload the application programming interface extensions to the platform and second developers who develop applications which access the web services via the application programming interface extensions. The application programming interface extender receives requests to access given ones of the application programming interface extensions and routes at least some of the requests to the application programming interface extensions.

  • Patent number: 9256464
    Abstract: A method including replicating a first virtual machine (VM) in a first cloud and putting the replicated VM in a second cloud. Activating the first VM and pausing the replicated VM. First processing, at the first VM, traffic from VMs in the first cloud, wherein the first processing occurs when the first VM is activated and the replicated VM is paused. Buffering, at a hypervisor of the replicated VM, traffic from VMs in the second cloud, wherein the buffering occurs when the first VM is activated and the replicated VM is paused. Activating the replicated VM in response to state information of the first VM and pausing the first VM. Second processing, at the replicated VM, the buffered traffic according to the state information of the first VM, wherein the second processing occurs when the replicated VM is activated and the first VM is paused.

  • Patent number: 9110864
    Abstract: A fault tolerance method and system for VMs on a cluster identifies a client state for each client session for those applications. The method replicates the client session onto a primary and a backup VM, and uses a network controller and orchestrator to direct network traffic to the primary VM and to periodically replicate the state onto the backup VM. In case of a VM failure, the method reroutes network traffic of states for which the failed VM serves as a primary to the corresponding backup, and replicates states without a backup after the failure onto another VM to create new backups. The method may be used as part of a method or system implementing the split/merge paradigm.
