  • Patent number: 10341198
    Abstract: A device can receive a request to deploy a container to provide a service. The request can include information identifying a set of parameters associated with the container. The device can validate the request using the information identifying the set of parameters. The device can deploy the container on a back-end host. The back-end host can lack connectivity to an external network. The device can receive a first indication that the container was successfully deployed on the back-end host. The device can deploy a proxy container on a front-end host. The front-end host can have connectivity to the external network. The device can receive a second indication that the proxy container was successfully deployed on the front-end host. The device can provide a third indication. The third indication can indicate that the container was successfully deployed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10015278
    Abstract: A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium to receive a job request to schedule an execution of a process in a networked environment; generate a schedule for the execution of the process based on one or more current schedules directed to concurrent execution of one or more other processes; obtain resource utilization data indicating resource usage stemming from the concurrent execution of the process and the one or more other processes; analyze the resource utilization data; determine whether a resource inefficiency occurred during the concurrent execution based on an analysis of the resource utilization data; generate resource inefficiency data in response to a determination that the resource inefficiency occurred; and generate an adapted schedule for at least one of the process or the one or more other processes in response to a determination that the resource inefficiency occurred.

  • Patent number: 9326242
    Abstract: A device may request location information for a location reference device (LRD); receive, based on the request, the location information for the LRD via a cellular network connection; transmit, via the cellular network, an instruction to direct the LRD to activate a non-cellular radio on the LRD; receive wireless signals outputted via the non-cellular radio; determine a distance between the user device and the LRD based on a strength of the wireless signals received by the user device; and audibly or visually indicate, by the user device, the determined distance between the user device and the LRD.
