  • Publication number: 20180241848
    Abstract: Examples relate to human-readable cloud structures. Some examples disclosed herein may enable identifying cloud definition data describing a cloud to be deployed. The cloud definition data comprises a set of structural attributes that define a structure of the cloud and a set of non-structural attributes. Some examples may enable generating a first human-readable artifact that describes the structure of the cloud in natural language using the set of structural attributes of the cloud definition data, modifying a portion of the cloud definition data, generating a second human-readable artifact describing the structure of the cloud in natural language using the set of structural attributes of the cloud definition data that includes the modified portion, and determining whether the structure of the cloud in the second human-readable artifact is different from the structure of the cloud in the first human-readable artifact by comparing the first human-readable artifact with the second human-readable artifact.

  • Patent number: 9992305
    Abstract: Examples relate to cloud models based on network definition data. Some examples disclosed herein may enable obtaining first cloud definition data that describes a first cloud infrastructure. The first cloud definition data may comprise network definition data that describes a first server node to be included in the first cloud infrastructure and a first set of network interfaces to be enumerated on a bus of the first server node. Some examples may further enable generating a first cloud model based on the first cloud definition data. The first cloud model may comprise first cloud configuration data that, when executed, causes the first cloud infrastructure to be deployed. Some examples may further enable storing a first checkpoint image of the first cloud model. The first checkpoint image may comprise at least a portion of the first cloud configuration data.

  • Publication number: 20180109652
    Abstract: In some examples, a system identifies a set of services to provide a set of outputs to be displayed on a first set of displays at a first location to an identified user, where the services are provided by computers located remotely over a network from the first location, and establishes a value for a parameter that controls a custom display of a given output of the set of outputs on a respective set of displays to the identified user based, at least in part, on a stored mapping that persistently relates the set of services, the set of outputs, a second set of displays, and the identified user. The system further adjusts the display of the given output of the set of outputs on the first set of displays, the adjusting being based, at least in part, on the value of the parameter.

  • Patent number: 9860344
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with persisting information concerning per-user, per-connection display configuration control are described. One example method includes identifying services that provide outputs to be displayed to an identified user on displays available to the identified user. Services are provided by remotely located computers. The example method may also include establishing a display control parameter based on a stored mapping that persistently relates services, outputs, displays, and users. The mapping stores information concerning the parameter as configured by the identified user during a previous session. The example method may also include controlling the display of the output on the display based on the parameter.
