Abstract: A method for publishing a data message to shared storage includes receiving an action targeting a user associated with a distributed network having a plurality of service providers. Each service provider includes a private storage system and has access to a shared storage system. The method also includes parsing data elements of the action into a first set of data elements and a second set of data elements. The method further includes classifying the first set of data elements into categories of a data taxonomy. The method additionally includes generating a message for the action where the message includes the first set of data elements. The method also includes publishing the message to the shared storage system using a first identifier indicating the user and a second identifier that indicates that a respective service provider associated with the action has authority to publish the message to the shared storage system.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are described that enable agent instances to be instantiated in containerized environments. When a new container is detected, a list of agent instances expected to be running in a compute instance or in a container may be obtained and compared with status information regarding which agent instances are active. For a non-active agent instance, an agent object and configuration information for the agent instance may be obtained from a storage. Based on the available name, the agent object, and the configuration information, the agent instance may be instantiated and connected to an agent status server. An application related to the new agent instance may be deployed.

Abstract: A check valve includes a circular check valve flange that circumscribes a central axis and defines an outer perimeter of the check valve. The check valve also includes a first tab that extends radially outward from the check valve flange and has a first circumferential width and a first radial length. The check valve also includes a second tab that extends radially outward from the check valve flange and has a second circumferential width and a second radial length. The first circumferential width is different than the second circumferential width and the first radial length is greater than the second radial length. The first tab and the second tab of the check valve are disposed about the check valve flange at an angle other than 180 degrees apart.
