Abstract: Software that generates a message containing operations for multiple layers in a multi-layer environment, by performing the following operations: (i) receiving an operation to perform across a multilayer computing environment; (ii) generating a message for performing the operation across the multilayer computing environment, wherein the message includes a plurality of layer portions that include sub-operation(s) of the operation, wherein each layer portion corresponds to a respective layer in the multilayer computing environment; and (iii) orchestrating performance of the operation by sending the message between layers in the multilayer computing environment according to a sequence for performing sub-operation(s) indicated in the message, wherein when the message is located at a respective layer, the layer performs a respective set of sub-operation(s) according to the respectively corresponding layer portion for the layer in the message.

Abstract: In an approach for adjusting an order of actions to process a request, a processor receives a request that includes a set of actions to be performed in a first order. A processor receives monitored information of a service utilized to perform at least one action of the set of actions. A processor compares the monitored information to previously stored information. A processor determines that at least one aspect of the service is experiencing decreased performance based on the comparison. A processor identifies a first action of the set of actions corresponding to the at least one aspect of the service experiencing decreased performance. A processor adjusts the request, such that the request includes the set of actions to be performed in a second order, wherein the second order includes the first action is in a different position. A processor causes the adjusted request to be processed.

Abstract: Software that dynamically updates virtual machine templates at deterministic intervals in order to reduce patching time, by performing the following operations: (i) identifying a virtual machine (VM) provisioned according to a first VM template; (ii) initiating a patching process that applies a set of patch(es) to the VM, thereby creating a patched VM; (iii) determining that an amount of time taken to complete the patching process is greater than a predetermined threshold; and (iv) responsive to determining that the amount of time taken to complete the patching process is greater than the predetermined threshold, generating a second VM template based, at least in part, on the patched VM.
