Abstract: A system and method for tailoring container images stored in a container image registry to a specific microarchitecture that a host operating system is running on in a virtualized environment. A container image fetch request is sent to the container image registry. Microarchitecture identification instructions are received from the image registry in response to the container image fetch request. Results from the microarchitecture identification instructions are transmitted to the container image registry to identify the specific microarchitecture that the host operating system is running on in the virtualized environment, and a container within the virtualized environment is started using an optimal container image received from the container image registry, the optimal container image being tailored to the specific microarchitecture to leverage the functionalities and capabilities of the specific microarchitecture of the computing system.

Abstract: Managing file transfers is provided. In response to receiving a request from a user of a first mainframe to transfer a data file to a second mainframe using a file transfer protocol, the request is intercepted to perform a comparison of the request with data maintained in a file transfer matrix of predetermined criteria that includes a set of policies. In response to determining that a match exists between the request and the data maintained in the file transfer matrix based on the comparison, the request is identified as eligible for an object storage file transfer protocol. An object storage file transfer is initiated by pausing processing of the file transfer protocol. Copy and dump of the data file on a cloud object-based storage system is executed using the object storage file transfer protocol. The request is replaced with a dummy request.

Abstract: A computerized predictive workload scheduling tool and methods for analytically implementing a predictive job schedule. The scheduling tool incorporates and uses analytics to leverage information from a plurality of data sources to anticipate and pro-actively correct computing system job failures before they occur. The predictive scheduling tool generates a job schedule, analyzes the job schedule for predictable failures and resolves the identified failures by amending the job schedule. The job schedule generated and analyzed by the scheduling tool is deployed, analyzed and resolved for errors as needed or identified to prevent failures from occurring.
