The instance to be provisioned includes one of an instantiated software resource and a computing service. The method also includes configuring a second user identity to be an approver of the provisioning. The method also includes performing provisioning of the instance. The provisioning is executed under the first user identity, and the second user identity has provided approval of the provisioning.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes restarting an application at a second system in response to a failure of the application at a first system, receiving replicated logged data from the first system at the second system, updating a second data set at the second system to reflect a first data set at the first system, utilizing the replicated logged data, identifying a first plurality of data reads from the restarted application at the second system, where the first plurality of data reads occur before a predetermined checkpoint, and in response to the first plurality of data reads, retrieving the replicated logged data from the second system, and returning the replicated logged data to the restarted application at the second system.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for generating a set of scripts that perform processing equivalent to an original script and achieve maximum parallel executions. A computer receives an original script including annotations defined by a user, builds a graph comprising nodes and representing execution steps in the original script, associates one or more attributes to the nodes, and determines dependencies between the nodes, based on accessing data sets or files by the execution steps. The computer modifies the dependencies between the nodes, using instructions contained in the annotations. The computer generates a set of scripts that perform processing equivalent to the original script and achieve maximum parallel executions, based on the nodes of the graph and the dependencies. The computer generates a script that defines dependencies between the scripts.
