Abstract: Techniques for refreshing application instances periodically based on a refresh rate parameter, providing enhanced health and stability for instances actively executing workloads. When a workload is received requesting one or more application instance(s), a refresh rate is determined, and the instance(s) are monitored. Periodically, based on the refresh rate, the monitored application instance(s) are refreshed. One or more instance(s) are identified for refreshing, one or more new replacement instance(s) are generated, and the identified instances are removed from active service and decommissioned. Workloads continue execution upon the newly generated instances, which are in turn monitored and refreshed as dictated by the refresh rate.

The method further includes sending, by the computing entity, the multi-cloud storage request to a data director module. The method further includes determining a multi-cloud storage scheme to execute the multi-cloud storage request, executing the multi-cloud storage scheme to store the data object in a set of two or more cloud storage systems, generating an index regarding the storage of the data object, and notifying the requester of an estimated response time of the set of two or more cloud storage systems. The method further includes monitoring the performance information of the set of two or more cloud storage systems and data object usage information of the data object to determine a multi-cloud storage performance level.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for distributing services to client systems to develop in a shared development environment. A first service is deployed to the first client system to develop the first service. A second service is deployed to the second client system to develop the second service. A call is received from the first service, executing in the first client system as part of development of the first service, to the second service.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes processing a tagged data unit (TDU) by reading a metadata tag of a received TDU and determining whether the TDU is an excluded TDU or an included TDU. An included TDU is a TDU that is to be included in usage summary information contained in a usage receiver (UR) record. An excluded TDU is a TDU that is not to be included in the usage summary information. Responsive to determining that the TDU is an included TDU, the method includes the information related to the TDU into the usage summary information. Responsive to determining that the TDU is an excluded TDU, the method excludes the information related to the excluded TDU from the usage summary information. Reportable usage summary information is generated from information in the UR record, and, once a reporting criterion is met, the reportable usage summary information is transmitted to the UR.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to display region filtering. A pixel priority value for each of a plurality of pixels on a display region are assigned in response to identifying portions of the display region for prioritization, wherein the pixel priority values indicate a relative importance of each of the pixels, respectively, for viewing based on a magnitude of the pixel priority values. The pixel priority value of each pixel is compared to a first pixel priority threshold to identify pixels of the plurality of pixels having pixel priority values which do not satisfy the first pixel priority threshold. The pixels of the plurality of pixels having pixel priority values which do not satisfy the first pixel priority threshold are deactivated, wherein a subset of pixels satisfies the first pixel priority threshold and remain active.
