  • Publication number: 20240073106
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing aspects of identifying and/or deploying hardware of a dedicated cloud to be hosted at a customer location (a “DRCC”). A DRCC may comprise cloud infrastructure components provided by a cloud provider but hosted by computing devices located at the customer's (a “cloud owner's”) location. Services of the central cloud-computing environment may be similarly executed at the DRCC. A number of user interfaces may be hosted within the central cloud-computing. These interfaces may be used to track deployment and region data of the DRCC. A deployment state may be transitioned from a first state to a second state based at least in part on the tracking and the deployment state may be presented at one or more user interfaces. Using the disclosed user interfaces, a user may manage the entire lifecycle of a DRCC and its corresponding hardware components.

  • Publication number: 20240062338
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for identifying the location and nature of any blur within one or more images received as a user communication and generating an appropriate correction. The system utilizes a first machine learning model, which is trained to identify blurred components of inputted images and determine whether the blurred components are located in portions of the inputted images comprising textual information. The system may apply a corrective action selected by the first machine learning model, which may comprise stitching blurred images together to a sharp product image and/or some other method appropriate for rectifying images received.
