Abstract: According to examples of the present disclosure, a method is provided to perform resource management in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise monitoring multiple first virtual machines to update a status of each first virtual machine based on a resource consumption level of resources allocated to the first virtual machine. The method may further comprise: in response to receiving a request to allocate resources to a second virtual machine, selecting at least one of the multiple first virtual machines with an inactive status to satisfy the request. Resources allocated to the selected at least one of the multiple first virtual machines may then be released and reallocated to the second virtual machine.

Abstract: An example method to manage a virtual appliance in a virtualized computing environment may comprise obtaining, by a computing system, data relating to the virtual appliance that specifies a virtual machine implementing a software application. The method may also comprise configuring, by the computing system, an operational mode for the virtual machine to customize the virtual appliance for deployment. The method may further comprise deploying, by the computing system, the virtual appliance with the virtual machine operating in the operational mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for updating an index and sequencing search results based on the updated index in a terminal. The method comprises: retrieving whether there is any modification in a file; if there is any modification in the file, performing an increment index the modified file to generate new index file, wherein the increment index includes a number of times that the modified file is selected historically; merging the new index file into the original index file; obtaining key words input by the user; querying the search results related to the key words, sequencing the search results according to the relevance between the search results and the key words and the number of times that the modified file is selected historically and displaying the sequenced search results to the user. By the present invention, the user experience of the mobile terminal is improved.
