Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to facilitate a database tuning as a service offered by a cloud platform as a service provider. A throttling detection engine, associated with a database service instance, may periodically determine if an automated database tuning process should be performed. When it is determined that the automated database tuning process should be performed, the throttling detection engine may transmit database performance metrics. A database tuner as a service, coupled to the throttling detection engine, may access aggregated database performance metrics of the database service instance and determine a set of tunable parameters associated with the database service instance. The database tuner as a service may then execute the automated database tuning process to recommend, using an intelligent algorithm, a new set of configurations for the set of tunable parameters to be applied to the database service instance.

Abstract: Some embodiments may be associated with a cloud computing environment. A device layer may execute a kernel and determine that a write to disk storage is requested by an application executing in the cloud computing environment. A kernel function at the device layer may mark buffers of a page in a page cache that correspond to the requested write as dirty. An event-driven mechanism may send an event to an entry handler in user space, wherein the event has a block number associated with the dirty buffer as a payload. the block numbers received via events may be accumulated in the user space until it is determined that a pre-determined condition associated with the accumulated block numbers is satisfied. At that point, blocks associated with the accumulated block numbers may be saved to a persistent data store as an incremental backup.

Abstract: A system and method of reducing network bandwidth for application development are provided. The method comprises receiving from a developer platform (i) core application software and (ii) dependency software associated with the core application software. The compiled dependency software is transmitted to a first server associated with cloud storage. The compiled core application software is transmitted to a second server associated with the cloud storage. An application based on the compiled core application software and the compiled dependency software may be executed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for monitoring IoT gateways are described herein. The method includes rendering an option to operate an internet of things (IoT) gateway in one of a profile and a normal mode. When the profile mode is selected, a profiling agent is attached to the IoT gateway to captured one or more gateway attributes indicative of performance of at least one of a software application and one or more processes executing within the software application of the IoT gateway. The captured gateway attributes are sent to a server or cloud for further analysis and processing, e.g., to improve software application executing within the IoT gateway to enhance the performance of the IoT gateway. When the normal mode is selected, a program to capture one or more hardware attributes of the IoT gateway is executed to capture hardware attributes to analyze the performance of the IoT gateway.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for decentralized image management are described herein. The method includes generating, distributing, and retrieving images on peer-to-peer network. Request for generating an image is received. Multiple components/layers of a to-be-generated image is identified. A layer is stored as a file. Files corresponding to the layers are packaged as an image file representing the image. The packaged image file and/or files of respective layers are distributed across the network, e.g., across a plurality of available nodes upon receiving a distribution command/request. When a request for retrieving the image is received, the nodes storing the multiple layers of the image are identified. The layers are retrieved from the identified multiple nodes. Using the retrieved multiple layers, the image is recreated/generated.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for handling floating internet protocol (FIP) within private networks are described herein. The method includes sending a request to a private provider network for retrieving a floating internet protocol (FIP) address from a pool_of_FIP addresses stored in the private provider network. Based upon the request, the FIP address is received from the private provider network. The received FIP address is attached to a backend machine including a database. The backend machine is included within another private network.

Abstract: An annotation generator utility is implemented. The annotation generator utility reads, from a properties file, configurations of a Java component. The annotation generator utility generates annotations corresponding to the configurations. The annotation generator utility injects the annotations into compiled source code of the Java component. In one aspect, the annotations are injected into compiled source code of the Java component at build time. In another aspect, the annotations are injected into compiled source code of the Java component at runtime.
