Abstract: Cognitive expected program code installation result assessment by a method that includes collecting environment information about a cloud computing environment and collecting description information about program code for potential installation. The method maintains a hierarchical model for determining whether the program code is expected to install properly on the computer system, and uses the hierarchical model for such determining, including performing an analysis that proceeds through level(s) of the model based on the description information and arrives at an indication as to whether the program code is expected to install properly. The method performs processing based on determining whether the program code is expected to install properly, for instance by generating and providing a recommendation to a user regarding installation of the program code.

Abstract: A blockchain of transactions may be referenced for various purposes and may be later accessed by interested parties for ledger verification and information retrieval. One example method of operation may include assigning one blockchain block to one group member node among a group of blockchain nodes, storing the one blockchain block in the one group member node, assigning a verification of the one blockchain block to one or more verification blockchain nodes which are part of the group of blockchain nodes, and storing the verification of the one blockchain block in each of the one or more verification blockchain nodes.

Abstract: An apparatus for optimizing network traffic which includes a host computer having virtual machines (VMs); a monitoring module to collect network traffic data from the VMs; an analysis engine to receive the network traffic data from the monitoring module and to calculate metric values pertaining to the network traffic data; a pattern module to store network traffic patterns having metric values and to provide the network traffic patterns to the analysis engine, the analysis engine compares the calculated metric values to the network traffic pattern metric values and provides an output of a result of the compare of the calculated metric values to the network pattern metric values; and responsive to receipt of the output from the analysis engine, an optimization module processes the output and provides an optimization action to the VMs to improve the flow of the network traffic between the VMs.
