Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a resource reclamation service, a first event of a first lifecycle type for a tenant of a cloud computing environment; identifying, at the resource reclamation service, a lifecycle sequence indicating a sequence of lifecycle types to occur for initiating a set of reclamation actions, where the lifecycle sequence indicates that a second lifecycle type occurs immediately preceding the first lifecycle type, with no other intervening lifecycle types; accessing, at the resource reclamation service, an event log to determine whether a second event of the second lifecycle type occurs immediately preceding the first event of the first event type; and initiating, at the resource reclamation service, a set of reclamation actions for computing resources of the tenant in response to determining that the second event of the second lifecycle type occurs immediately preceding the first event of the first event type.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes, in response to receiving a reclamation request for a tenant of a cloud computing environment at a resource reclamation service: determining, at the resource reclamation service, a set of dependencies for computing resources of the tenant within the cloud computing environment, the set of dependencies including a first level including a first subset of the computing resources and a second level including a second subset of the computing resources; executing, at the resource reclamation service, a first set of reclamation actions for the first subset of computing resources; determining, at the resource reclamation service, whether the first set of reclamation actions is complete; and executing, at the resource reclamation service, a second set of reclamation actions for the second subset of computing resources in response to determining that the first set of reclamation actions is complete.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a first instance of a resource reclamation service, a lifecycle event for a cloud computing tenancy, where the first instance is deployed at a first region of a plurality of regions of a cloud environment; identifying, at the first instance, a subset of the plurality of regions to which computing resources of the tenancy are deployed, the subset of the plurality of regions including the first region and a second region; transmitting, from the first instance to a second instance of the resource reclamation service, an indication of the lifecycle event, where the second instance is deployed at the second region; identifying, at the second instance, a first subset of the computing resources of the tenancy deployed at the second region; and executing, at the second instance, a first set of reclamation actions for the first subset of the computing resources of the tenancy.

Abstract: A power distribution discovery system includes a power distribution unit (power distribution unit) that provides electrical power to a plurality of equipment modules configured in a computing rack. The power distribution unit includes a first communication circuit coupled to a computing system. The first communication circuit communicates with a second communication circuit configured in each of the subset of equipment modules to receive identifying information associated with each of the subset of equipment modules. The computing system communicates with the first communication circuit to receive the identifying information, and outputs a report indicating the subset of equipment modules that receive electrical power from the power distribution unit. The received identifying information indicates those equipment modules that receive electrical power from the power distribution unit.

Abstract: The concepts described herein include a storage access system including two access paths using different path configurations resulting in the ability to do a two part boot from the same boot memory. The two storage access paths address the boot memory using a globally unique identifier. The first storage path is a slower path that transfers instructions from the boot memory to configure the second storage path used to transfer the operating system from the boot memory.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for self-determination of equipment rack consumption by rack-mounted appliances. Some embodiments operate in context of pre-integrated systems having a number of rack-mounted appliances installed in an equipment rack. The equipment rack can include a number of passive location designators, each positioned on the equipment rack in a physical location corresponding to a mounting location for a rack-mounted appliance, and each including a code that indicates its associated mounting location. Each rack-mounted appliance can include a sensor which, when the rack-mounted appliance is installed in a mounting location of the equipment rack, can read the code on the passive location designator associated with that mounting location. This reading can be used by the rack-mounted appliance to self-determine its rack consumption.
