Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, and computer programs for virtual machine image conversion. A delta file system between a file system of a first virtual machine (VM) image and a file system of a first operating system (OS) base image is determined. A file system of a first container base image may be obtained according to the first OS base image. Then, the delta file system may be applied to the file system of the first container base image to create a container image.

In this way, a single communication protocol can be used by a service consuming entity to request various services, through the multiple vendor proxy, from various vendors, with the multiple vendor proxy converting the requests into the communication protocol (for example, syntax) appropriate for the vendor from whom the service is being requested on behalf of the service consuming entity.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product are provided for generating a container providing a computing environment. At least one processing device combines a base image of a first type of container, including at least one application and an operating system, with a base image of a second type of container including middleware and configuration information to produce a base image of a target container including, from the first type of container, the at least one application and the operating system, and the middleware and the configuration information from the second type of container. The base image of the target container is executed on a computer to provide the computing environment configured in accordance with the configuration information.

Abstract: Techniques are described for linked blockchains that allow computing devices to access information from an acceptance blockchain about acceptance reports stored in an enterprise delivery blockchain that are also linked to a product blockchain that stores information of the products of the acceptance reports. An acceptance report is indicative of operability of a product in a service provided by a service provider. A processor is configured to access the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, retrieve the acceptance report from the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, determine an identifier, identified in the block in the enterprise delivery blockchain, to a block in an acceptance blockchain, access the block in the acceptance blockchain via the determined identifier, retrieve from the block in the acceptance blockchain contextual information of the acceptance report, and output the acceptance report and contextual information of the acceptance report.

Abstract: Methods and systems for container hyperlinking are disclosed. A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, a request for a source container; determining, by the computing device, a plurality of recommended target containers corresponding to the source container; displaying, by the computing device, the source container and the plurality of recommended target containers; receiving, by the computing device, a request to link the source container to at least one of the plurality of recommended target containers; and executing an application by dynamically linking the source container and the at least one of the plurality of recommended target containers. Each of the plurality of recommended target containers corresponding to the source container may be determined using information about a popularity of the recommended target container.

Abstract: Resource sharing is provided. Cryptographic key, resource, and payment information is exchanged between a respective other resource provider having a best matching smart contract response and a particular resource provider selling unused resources. The exchanged cryptographic key, resource, and payment information is verified. The unused resources of the particular resource provider are isolated for dedicated use by the respective other resource provider having the best matching smart contract response. A transaction is performed by sharing the unused resources of the particular resource provider with the respective other resource provider having the best matching smart contract response according to smart contract terms.
