Abstract: Accurate time estimates for operations performed on an SDDC are disclosed. The method includes receiving information about a job performed on an SDDC from at least one of a plurality of different reporting SDDC's, the information including a description of the SDDC, a description of the job performed on the SDDC, and a plurality of time stamps, each time stamp indicative of an operation performed on the SDDC in order to complete the job. The information is stored in a database in a granular time-based data set. When a request for a time estimate for a yet-to-be-performed job is received from at least a second SDDC (the request including a description of the SDDC), the stored information is used in conjunction with the description of the second SDDC to generate a time estimate for the yet-to-be-performed job.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for using a standalone tool for certificate management is provided. The standalone tool for certificate management is provided between a plurality of computing nodes and a management node. The standalone tool determines a certificate status for each of the plurality of computing nodes in the computing system. The standalone tool also determines any certificate operations for each of the plurality of computing nodes in the computing system. The certificate status and any of the certificate operations are presented in a consolidated view.
