Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide an approach for automated realization of hand-drawn topologies. In one embodiment, a topologizer application is configured to parse an image depicting a hand-drawn topology and identify shapes and relationships between the shapes in the image. The topologizer may convert the hand-drawn topology to polygons and then identify the polygons as being, e.g., particular shapes and arrows representing relationships between the shapes. The identified shapes and relationships are then output in a machine-readable format for consumption, in which the shapes are mapped to corresponding components of a computing system and deployed based on the mapping and the relationships indicated in the topologizer output.

Abstract: A method of scheduling tasks for a group of applications. Each application is associated with a separate task queue for identifying application tasks that are ready for execution. The method receives a request to place a task in an application task queue. The method places the task in the application task queue based on a set of intra application scheduling policies defined for the application. The method receives a request to identify the next task to execute. The method identifies an application queue from which from which the next task is to be executed. The application queue is identified based on a set of inter application scheduling policies defined for the plurality of applications. The method schedules a task from the identified application queue for execution based on the intra application scheduling policies.
