Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for on-demand resource provisioning for service instances. An on-demand service broker provisions IaaS resources at service instance creating time. The service broker provides a catalog listing one or more service plans, each service plan corresponds to a set of available resources. A user device selects a respective service plan that matches specific needs of an application that consumes the resources. The service broker generates a deployment manifest based on the selected service plan. The service broker then submits the deployment manifest to a deployment system. The deployment system provisions the resources to the service instance according to the manifest generated by the service broker.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for computing availability metrics for an integrated service. One of the methods includes generating, for a service installed on a software platform, a plurality of availability logs, each availability log representing an occurrence of the service becoming unavailable. The plurality of availability logs are aggregated according to one or more aggregation criteria. The aggregated availability logs are processed to compute one or more availability metrics for the service, wherein each availability metric quantifies the availability of the service to process requests from the plurality of workloads in the presence of system failures and interruptions. An availability rating for the service is computed from the one or more availability metrics.

Abstract: This specification describes methods, systems, and computer readable media for representing progresses of multiple projects in an integrated progress view. In an integrated progress view, visual indicators can represent a respective degree of completion of each project, as well as additional information on the project. The additional information indicates velocity of the progresses and resources used to achieve the velocity. Measurements of completion, including milestones achieved in and resources consumed by each project, are individually configurable in a distributed manner. For example, a user interface can allow a first project manager to configure how to measure progress of a first project, and a second project manager to configure how to measure progress of a second project. The integrated progress view can provide a summary view of progresses of the projects, even when measurements of the progresses are configured differently.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for deploying and using a light-weight cloud application platform. In one aspect, a method includes providing a deployment tool configured to deploy a light-weight cloud application platform in an execution environment in response to a user command that specifies the environment, and to create one or more instances of a cloud application executing on the light-weight cloud application platform in response to a user command that specifies a container image that includes the application. The deployment tool receives a first user command that specifies the execution environment. In response, the deployment tool deploys components of the light-weight cloud application platform, including a scheduling subsystem and a routing subsystem. The deployment tool receives a second user command that specifies a location of the container image.

One of the methods includes providing, by each resource allocator of a plurality of resource allocators, a first request to compute a first score to each computing node of a plurality of computing nodes, the first score representing a measure of availability for the computing node to take a particular task. A first score is received from each of the plurality of computing nodes and the nodes are ranked according to the first scores. A second request is provided to a highest-ranked computing node to compute a second score. If the difference between the first score and the second score satisfies a threshold, assigning the task to the highest-ranked computing node if and only if the difference between the first score and the second score satisfies the threshold.
