Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to receive a request to upgrade a component from a first version to a second version; perform a first check by determining if allowed source release (ASR) information of the second version includes a reference to the first version; perform a second check by determining if allowed target release (ATR) information of the first version includes a reference to the second version; and in response to either of the first check and the second check being successful, perform the component upgrade.

Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive telemetry information regarding a target workload; receive configuration data regarding a computing cluster that is to execute a simulation of the target workload; train a workload artificial intelligence (AI) model based on the telemetry information and the configuration data to create the simulation of the target workload; generate a benchmarking configuration file based on the workload AI model; and deploy the benchmarking configuration file to the computing cluster for execution.

Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive a request to create a plurality of virtual computing nodes; build at least one parent virtual computing node based on an operating system image; create a plurality of clone virtual computing nodes by copying the at least one parent virtual computing node; for each of the plurality of clone virtual computing nodes, reconfigure at least one setting of the clone virtual computing node, such that none of the reconfigured clone virtual computing nodes are identical to one another; and run the plurality of reconfigured clone virtual computing nodes.

Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive configuration data and evaluation data regarding a target information handling system; train an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on the configuration data and evaluation data; receive information regarding a desired workload for the target information handling system; and predict, based on the AI model, whether or not the target information handling system will be able to satisfy the desired workload.
