  • Patent number: 11954524
    Abstract: A method for scheduling services in a computing environment includes receiving a service scheduling request corresponding to the computing environment and identifying a resource pool and a set of compliance requirements corresponding to the computing environment. The method continues by identifying target resources within the resource pool, wherein target resources are resources which meet the set of compliance requirements, and subsequently identifying a set of available target resources, wherein available target resources are target resources with scheduling availability. The method further includes analyzing the set of available target resources to determine a risk score for each available target resource and selecting one or more of the set of available target resources according to the determined risk scores. The method continues by scheduling a service corresponding to the service scheduling request on the selected one or more available target resources.

  • Publication number: 20230155984
    Abstract: Techniques for managing and processing of configuration changes associated with a service container associated with a service mesh are presented. An application management component can determine immutable configuration data (ICD) relating to configuration change processing for the service container based on policies received from an application owner. A message processing component (MMC) of a service proxy associated with the service container can receive, via a control plane, a message associated with an untrusted entity. MMC can determine whether the message comprises a configuration change request relating to interaction between the application and the service mesh, and, if so, can determine whether to allow the service proxy to process the configuration change based on analysis of the configuration change and ICD. If ICD indicates the configuration change is not allowed, service proxy can discard the request.

  • Patent number: 11288055
    Abstract: A system includes a memory that stores computer-executable components and a processor, operably coupled to the memory, that executes the computer-executable components stored in the memory. The computer-executable components include a deployment generator component that analyzes current component versions of application services and determines differences with previous deployment versions of the application services deployed to a target computing environment. A service deployment output component generates instructions to selectively update the application services to the target computing environment based on the determined differences between the previous deployment versions and the current component versions of the application services.

  • Patent number: 10873625
    Abstract: Techniques facilitating service management for the infrastructure of blockchain networks are provided. A system comprises a memory and a processor that executes computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an allocation component, a grouping component, and an implementation component. The allocation component can assign, within a blockchain network, a first group of nodes of a first node type to a first set of operation slots and a second group of nodes of a second node type, different than the first node type, to a second set of operation slots. The grouping component can aggregate the second group of nodes assigned to the second set of operation slots with the first group of nodes within the first set of operation slots. The implementation component can execute a service management operation. A consensus algorithm can be satisfied during an execution of the service management operation.
