Abstract: A computer can receive, by a software program executing on the processing device, a specification file drafted by a developer of a software application, the specification file having a declarative format and indicating a series of data retrieval tasks to be performed as part of a debugging process for debugging a problem with the software application. The computer can determine operations based on the series of data retrieval tasks indicated by the specification file, the operations being executable to perform the tasks. The computer can execute the one or more operations to perform the data retrieval tasks. By performing the data retrieval tasks, the computer can retrieve debugging information associated with one or more containers associated with the software application. The computer can transmit the retrieved debugging information to a debugging entity for use in debugging the problem with the software application.

Abstract: A system can be provided for deploying bare metal clusters that satisfy custom resource requests. For example, the system can receive from a client device, a custom resource request. The custom resource request can include a set of requirements for a bare metal cluster. The set of requirements can include a number of nodes for the bare metal cluster. The system can determine a set of resources that satisfies the set of requirements. The set of resources can include virtual Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and a set of baseband management controller (BMC) IP addresses. A number of BMC IP addresses in the set of BMC IP addresses can be equal to the number of nodes for the bare metal cluster. Additionally, the system can generate, based on the set of resources, a configuration file for the bare metal cluster and deploy, based on the configuration file, the bare metal cluster.

Abstract: A continuous integration (CI) pipeline can be executed based on a type of content for a change to source code. For example, a computing system can receive the change to the source code of a software application in response to a request for changing the source code being generated. The computing system can identify the type of content included in the change to the source code. Specifically, the computing system can determine whether the type of content is associated with a prevention of an execution of the CI pipeline. In response, the computing system can perform an action associated with the change to the source code prior to a deployment of the change to the source code.
