Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for automating DevOps toolchains. A user registers with a platform provider through a user interface that provides a unified self-service portal. Subsequently, the user can login to a platform configuration system to access a user landing page and/or dashboard. The user can select DevOps platform tools to be installed and enter configuration information. When the user is satisfied with selected DevOps platform tools and entered configuration, the user can select a “confirm” user-interface control (e.g., a button). In response, the selected DevOps tools are installed (with a relatively high level of automation) as DevOps platform. The user can also change DevOps platforms through the user interface (also with a relatively high level of automation), including migrating, deleting, and upgrading DevOps tools.

Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for upgrading DevOps tools in DevOps toolchains. An upgraded version of a DevOps platform tool is detected.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: receiving a data operation request which includes an activated compound operation flag. The data operation request is added to a queue in a gateway node, and the data operation request is eventually transmitted to a disaster recovery site. An inode entry which corresponds to the portion of data is locked, and metadata associated with the inode entry is updated to indicate that the data operation request has been performed at the disaster recovery site. Supplemental data operation requests which correspond to the portion of data are also identified by evaluating the metadata associated with the inode entry. These supplemental data operation requests are transmitted to the disaster recovery site, and the metadata associated with the inode entry is updated to indicate that the supplemental data operation requests have been performed at the disaster recovery site. Furthermore, the inode entry is unlocked.

Abstract: System pre-processes and computes class distribution of decision attribute and statistics for discretization of continuous attributes through use of compute buckets. System computes the variability of each of the attributes and considers only the non-zero variability attributes. System computes the discernibility strength of each attribute. The software system generates size 1 patterns using compute bucket and calculates if each pattern of size 1 is a reliable pattern for any class. The system calculates if reliable pattern of size 1 is a significant pattern for any class. The system generates size k patterns from size k?1 patterns checking for significance of size k patterns and refinability. The system readjusts pattern statistics for only significant patterns for size k?1 patterns. The system computes a cumulative coverage of the sorted relevant patterns of up to size k by finding out the union of records of that particular class.

Abstract: An input image of an object is prepared for presentation by removing extraneous portions such as text, logos, advertising, watermarks, and so forth. The input image is processed to determined contours of features depicted in the input image. A bounding box corresponding to each contour may be determined. Based at least in part on the areas of these bounding boxes, an image mask is created. A candidate image is determined by applying the image mask to the input image to set pixels within portions of the input image to a predetermined value, such as white. Many candidate images may be generated using different parameters, such as different thresholds for relative sizes of the areas of the bounding boxes. These candidate images may be assessed, and a candidate image is selected for later use. Instead of manual editing of the input images, the candidate images are automatically generated.
