Abstract: Examples described herein relate to providing a simplified interface by a cloud platform to an IaC service. According to an example, operational details associated with multiple infrastructure as code (IaC) tools are abstracted by providing an application programming interface (API) of an IaC service through which multiple IaC templates are available for use to deploy workloads against multiple services within a cloud platform. Each IaC template describes a workload according to an IaC tool and specifies input parameters for the workload. A request to create a deployment based on a particular IaC template is received via the API. The request is satisfied by internally executing the IaC tool associated with the particular template based on parameter values supplied for the specified input parameters for the particular workload.

Abstract: A rack for supporting items defines a channel or trough to receive support bases or blocks therein. Each support base carries at least one item. One item may be a router bit. The rack and support base(s) may collectively define a router bit storage and display system that can be mounted to a support surface, such as a wall or a router table. The system enables a woodworker to safely store and easily access router bits for use in their router device when needed. The router bits are maintained spaced apart from each other when supported by the rack so as to not damage each other. The system can be modular or modularly expanded to grow with the woodworker such that when the woodworker acquires more router bits, the system can add more racks and support bases to ensure there is adequate room for the woodworker's additional router bits.

Abstract: The present invention allows for better control over strength in concrete mixes and mix designs, while minimizing the over-use of cement and promoting sustainability within the industry. Disclosed are novel method and system which employ a diagnostic delta data (DDD) curve, or, in other words, data that displays a curvilinear relationship when plotted on a visual graph, as obtained by considering the differences (e.g., subtractive differences or ratios) as between (i) target slump and target (or maximum) water content, and (ii) slump and water content values as determined using an automated slump monitoring system which measures slump and water content in the concrete mix during delivery. This DDD curve can then be compared to monitored delta slump and delta water content for later or other deliveries, such that adjustments can be made to the concrete mix or mix design, in a manner that encourages avoidance of cement over-dosing or over-prescription.
