Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for creating and patching software homes using content addressable storage. One or more embodiments comprises storing content for a file that is used to run a particular software deployment. The file is associated with a particular directory that includes a link to a first filename. The first filename is generated as a function of the content for the file, such as by applying a hash function. Responsive to receiving updated content a second filename is generated as a function of the updated content. The second filename is different than the first filename. The link included in the particular directory is modified to point to the second filename. After modifying the link included in the particular directory, the updated content for the file is used to run the particular software deployment.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for granting class level trust in an open application programming interface (API) system is disclosed. The method includes defining a common information model (CIM) architecture, and the CIM architecture is configured with a CIM object manager (CIMOM) for managing client requests made through APIs. The APIs are handled by the CIMOM and the CIMOM accesses schemas that include one or more classes. The method includes applying trust level settings to particular ones of the one or more classes of the schemas, and the trust level settings define client permissions to the particular classes. The method further includes hiding the particular classes to clients that lack a trust level sufficient to access the particular classes. Clients that lack the trust level are serviced with classes that do not have the applied trust level settings.
