Abstract: A method of product update analysis and management includes receiving metadata of a product update related to a code change of an application on an endpoint of a managed network. The method includes scraping posts related to the product update from two different internet websites. The method includes aggregating the posts from the internet websites. The method includes quantifying a social volume from the aggregated posts. The social volume being a measure of discussion related to the product update. The method includes extracting content from the aggregated posts. Based on the extracted content, the method includes summarizing the posts into a collection of terms or phrases representative of a topic of the posts. The method includes causing display of an indication of the social volume and the collection of terms or phrases. The method includes implementing the product update to affect a change in program code at the application.

Abstract: A method for provisioning a managed node is described. The method includes obtaining data indicating a set of resources to be downloaded. The data corresponds to a designated configuration. The method also includes sending parallel resource existence requests to peer nodes for one or more resources in the set of resources. The resource existence requests are sent within a managed network. The method further includes determining if one or more responses from the peer nodes are received. The method additionally includes downloading at least one resource from at least one of the peer nodes if at least one response is received indicating that at least one peer node has a requested resource. The method also includes downloading any remaining resource from an administrative system.
