Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method may comprise establishing, by a boot environment, a secure connection on a special port. An authentication key for the secure connection is preloaded into the boot environment. The method may comprise verifying, by the admin node, that the new node is marked for installation and transmitting, by the admin node, a secure key to the new node over the secure connection. The method may comprise requesting, by the boot environment, a secure bundle from the admin node, the secure bundle corresponding to the new node. The method may comprise decrypting, by the boot environment, the secure bundle using the secure key and requesting, by the boot environment, an installation image for the new node. The secure bundle contains secure information that is not included in the installation image.

Abstract: Computerized methods and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, may adaptively allocate resources within an enterprise. For example, a computing system may identify tasks assigned to a user for completion within a current workday. The tasks may be associated with task scores that indicate a level of risk or complexity of each of the tasks. The computer system may obtain biometric data captured by one or more biometric sensors during prior time periods, detect, within the first biometric data, a time-varying pattern in a biometric characteristic of the user, and determining a schedule for completing the tasks during the current workday. The schedule may be consistent with the task scores and the detected time-varying pattern in the biometric characteristic of the user.
