  • Patent number: 11941444
    Abstract: Examples described herein include automated discovery of hardware resources of nodes of a container cluster to facilitate pod scheduling. According to an example, discovery pods are launched on respective nodes of the container cluster. The discovery pods are privileged pods with an ability to query respective operating systems of respective nodes regarding hardware associated with the respective nodes. Information regarding local block devices associated with the respective nodes are discovered by the discovery pods running thereon. Scheduling of storage system pods on nodes of the container cluster that satisfy storage characteristics specified by respective pod requests are facilitated by creating a raw block persistent volume (PV) for each of the discovered local block devices or a subset thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230103402
    Abstract: Examples described herein are generally directed to facilitating access to container state through multiple protocols. According to an example, a distributed state store is provided in which container state is accessible by multiple client containers via nodes of the distributed state store across which the container state is replicated. Responsive to receipt from a first client container of a storage request via a first application programming interface (API) method of the distributed state store that is associated with a first protocol, the container state is stored within the distributed state store. Responsive to receipt from a second client container of an access request via a second API method of the distributed state store that is associated with a second protocol, the container state is returned to the second client container via the second protocol.

  • Publication number: 20030131316
    Abstract: A method for modifying files for display on a browser. The method includes identifying a file having a section marked with an identifier, receiving an indicator, and filtering the file to modify the section based on the indicator. The files are filtered such that the identifier is removed if the indicator is a default indicator and the identifier and marked section are replaced with a replacement section correspondence to the indicator if the indicator is not the default indicator. In addition, the present invention encompasses a system and computer program product for carrying out the inventive method. The method, system, and computer program product may be used to internationalize files for display on browsers over the Internet such that the files are displayed in a language indicated by the browser.
