Abstract: A quantum payload service for facilitating communications between a quantum computing system and classical computing systems is provided. A payload service in a quantum computing system that offers a plurality of different quantum services receives a message from a classical computing system that is destined for a first quantum service. The message includes a header and a payload. The payload service determines, from the header, an originator address and a destination quantum service identifier that identifies the first quantum service. The payload service extracts, from the message, the payload, and sends the payload, the originator address and the destination quantum service identifier to a quantum channel router of the quantum computing system for delivery of the payload to the first quantum service.

Abstract: The disclosed techniques relate to validating and optimizing a quantum computing simulator. A quantum computing simulator executes a quantum executable file to obtain a first result. A second result is received from a quantum computer which also computes the quantum executable file. The hardware metadata associated with the quantum computer, and defining hardware conditions during a time in which the quantum executable file was executed to create the second result, is also received. In response to determining a difference between the first result and the second result, updated hardware metadata is created based on the received hardware metadata associated with the quantum computer. The quantum computing simulator performs a second execution of the quantum executable file based at least in part on the updated hardware metadata to obtain a third result.

An example method may include: receiving, by a processing device, data of a virtual machine, the data indicating a configuration of the virtual machine and a set of processes executed by the virtual machine; identifying, by the processing device, computer code of a first process of the set of processes executed by the virtual machine; analyzing the computer code to detect a link between the first process and a second process of the set of processes; and building a container image in view of the data of the virtual machine and the identified link, wherein the container image comprises the computer code of the first process and computer code of the second process.

Abstract: Secure, platform-independent code signing is disclosed. For example, a project file is associated with metadata, and a memory is communicatively coupled with one or more processors that execute to retrieve the metadata. A guest associated with a hosting platform of the project file is instantiated. A toolchain and a signature associated with the project file are loaded to the guest, where the toolchain is determined based on the metadata. The project file is built into an executable file. The executable file is signed with the signature, resulting in a certified executable.

Abstract: Dynamic access control of resources in a computing environment is disclosed. A policy retrieval point continuously monitors at least one new policy creation location for a new policy rule. It is detected that a first new policy rule has been added to the at least one new policy creation location. The first new policy rule is stored in a core policy rule structure that comprises a plurality of policy rules. A request for new policy rules is received, and the first new policy rule is communicated toward a policy decision point in response to the request.

Abstract: Updates to container images can be managed. For example, a processing device can detect that a first container-image is updated by monitoring a repository associated with the first container-image. The first container-image can be updated subsequent to a second container-image being built. The processing device can determine that the second container-image depends on the first container-image by analyzing a database that indicates a dependency relationship between the second container-image and the first container-image. The processing device can then automatically rebuild the second container-image using an updated version of the first container-image in response to (i) detecting that the first container-image was updated, and (ii) determining that the second container-image depends on the first container-image.
