Abstract: Systems, methods and/or computer program products for managing the temperature of datacenter during a period of malfunction or inoperability of the cooling system responsible for maintaining temperatures within the datacenter. Temperatures of the datacenter's computing systems are monitored by thermal imaging systems and/or sensors. Computing systems are also monitored for how frequently the systems are accessed during a defined period of time and the number of mission critical deployments by each computing system. Collected parameters, including temperature, frequency of access and number of running mission critical applications are imputed into a scoring algorithm which uses the collected parameters and weightings to generate a ranking of computing systems to shutdown sequentially in response to rising temperatures.

Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a request to write an entry to a database. Database caches are then checked for a portion of the entry, such as a portion that includes a primary key. Based on the checking, the approach determines whether to write the entry to the database. In response to the determination being that the entry cannot be written to the database, an error is returned with the error being returned without accessing the database, only the caches. On the other hand, the entry is written to the database in response to the determination being that the entry can be written to the database.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide features for the architecture of microservices. A global context cache is created for a microservice environment that is accessible from multiple deployed microservices. Data from various customers/applications can be aggregated to establish a determination of when a read or write access would fail due to permissions, and/or other condition such as existence or non-existence of certain data. In such situations, an error can be returned from the global context cache in much less time than if the access request propagated throughout the computer network to the persistent storage. In this way, disclosed embodiments reduce downtime and save money for organizations, and increase the efficiency of utilization of computer resources.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for roadway messaging are provided. A computer receives first information of a reduction of a roadway section. The computer determines a passable road width at the reduction in the roadway section. The computer determines a size of a first vehicle. The computer determines whether the first vehicle fits through the passable road width. The computer generates a first message based on the determining of whether the first vehicle fits through the passable road width, the first message comprising a driving recommendation for the first vehicle. The computer transmits the first message for reception by the first vehicle.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system performing a method that includes a processor(s) obtaining a digital document defining insurance parameters for utilization by a user of a portion of computing resources selected from a group of computing resources comprising the shared computing environment. The processor(s) generates, based on the digital document, parameters defining the portion of the computing resources and risk management rules reflecting guaranteed thresholds for utilization and performance of the portion of the computing resources defined in the digital document. The processor(s) configures a controller in the shared computing environment, based on the parameters and the risk management rules and obtains a notification of a failure in the portion of the computing resources in violation of the risk management rules and details of the failure to determine the extent and impact of the failure. The processor(s) automatically generates a claim package and transmits it to the administrator.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable users to extract knowledge from testing scenarios performed during application development, and later employ that knowledge to interpret application usage scenarios to enhance serviceability of applications by expediting identification and solving of problems. In an exemplary embodiment, log data generated during simulation of test cases is analyzed to create one or more rules based on patterns in which one or more log entries appear in the log data. Later, log data may be analyzed to look for a pattern of log entries that matches a pattern-based rule, thereby facilitating faster identification and resolution of the problem.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to migrating a virtual machine (VM) from a source server to a destination server. The migration involves computation of a suitability score for each particular server in the plurality of candidate servers. The suitability score for a server indicates the suitability of the server to host the VM. In an example implementation, the suitability score for a server is computed based on satisfaction of at least one criterion for operation of the VM by the server.
