Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing one or more operations of a workload includes selecting a resource type for workload management on a platform. One or more operations of the selected resource to be managed are identified. A reconciliation time for execution of each of the identified operations is determined. A reconciliation period between two consecutive reconciliations is determined for each of the identified operations. A minimum number of processes for workload management of a given set of the operations on resources is calculated, and the determined minimum number of processes is deployed to manage the workload.

Abstract: Managing performing patches on a workload associated with a computing platform comprising: identify the workload associated with the computing platform, wherein the workload can comprise a first workload portion upon which a first subset of patches can be performed offline and a second workload portion upon which a second subset of patches can be performed online; determine, for the first workload portion, a portion of the first subset of patches that can be performed within a maintenance time window while offline based on vulnerability scores of patches of the first subset of patches, and determine, for the second workload portion, the second subset of patches that can be performed while online; and determine the vulnerability scores of the patches of the first subset of patches based on importance levels of the patches.
