Abstract: A method for optimizing a workflow provided by a computing platform to a cloud computing system is described. Metrics for a job of the workflow run on the cloud computing system are received. The job is run on the cloud computing system based on a schedule and a cloud computing infrastructure configuration. An update to the cloud computing infrastructure configuration is generated based on the metrics. The cloud computing infrastructure configuration is automatically updated based on the update, thereby providing an updated cloud computing infrastructure configuration. A next scheduled run of the job on the cloud computing system is based on the updated cloud computing infrastructure configuration.

Abstract: A floating poker pad is provided that may be used on both land and water. The poker pad has a base member that has an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface of the floating poker pad has a slightly slopped central inner playing area for poker or card play and defines one or more water drainage scuppers for keeping the central inner playing area free from water build-up. Additionally, the floating poker pad has upper openings for receiving beverages and poker playing chips and defines a central opening throughout the base member for receiving an umbrella pole when placed on a patio table for use as a poker table on land.
