Abstract: A skimmer opening cover assembly having an outer plate, an inner support brace, and a threaded connecting rod. The plate and brace are attached to the threaded rod, with a tightening member used to adjust the distance between the two components on the threaded rod. Preferably, the outer plate includes a sealing material about a periphery on one surface. In use, this sealing material abuts the pool sidewall to form a tight seal. The seal is made most effective when the plate is sufficiently biased in place by the tightening of a threaded member on either the front face of the plate or at the brace.

Abstract: Methods and systems may provide for identifying a data service having a data locality constraint, determine whether capability data associated with the data service satisfies one or more deployment criteria of a cloud service and bind, if the capability data satisfies the one or more deployment criteria, the cloud service to the data service in accordance with the data locality constraint. In one example, the data service is identified based at least in part on a capability of the cloud service to be provisioned with a deployment location that complies with the data locality constraint.
