Abstract: A method for deploying a containerized application from a central application management hub to a plurality of cloud environments, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a containerized application suitable for deployment; receiving an environment file designating a first environment and a second environment of the plurality of cloud environments; consulting a routing table to determine a first network path associated with the first environment and a second network path associated with the second environment; generating packets of the containerized application; and sending the packets on the first network path and the second network path; wherein the containerized application is received by a respective operators of the first environment and the second environment for subsequent deployment.

Abstract: An example of a connector for host devices is provided. Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to a connector that allows a user to blindly connect the connector to a host device. For example, a magnetic system between the connector and host device may attract when the connector is oriented correctly with the host device's socket, and repel when the connector is incorrectly oriented. The connector may have a cord that is positioned such that, when the user incorrectly orients the connector over the host device's socket, the cord may interfere with the host device's housing, thereby indicating to the user to re-orient the connector. The connector may also employ multiplexed pins so the pins can perform more than a single function. For example, the data (D+/D?) pins may transmit music in the form of audio signals, and information content in the form of electrical signals.
