Abstract: In B2B purchasing, ordering is proposed wherein a customer can buy directly from a supplier website without logging into their own E-procurement system. In one embodiment, the supplier website generates a customized purchase order (PO) for submission to a third-party's purchasing system based upon purchases made by the customer. The purchasing system sends an acknowledgement, and the supplier can proceed to fulfil the order.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users to establish Secure Shell (SSH) connections with compute instances running in private subnets of virtual private networks of a cloud provider network. A “bastion” compute instance, including an SSH server and specialized SSH client software, is used to enable connections to compute instances in a private subnet of a virtual private network. A bastion instance is a server designed to be a primary point of access from the internet (e.g., by its inclusion in a public subnet of a virtual private network) and acts as a proxy for compute instances running in a private subnet of a virtual private network. The ability for a bastion instance to establish connections to instances in a private subnet is based on a role attached to the bastion instance, where the role may be defined using an identity and access management service of the cloud provider network.

Abstract: A device may receive a request to migrate source data, associated with a source platform, to a target platform. The device may select a target template associated with the target platform based on the request; obtain target information based on the target template; and generate a target mapping based on the source data and the target information. The device may analyze the target mapping to identify an unmapped element in the target mapping and determine, using a migration analysis model, a candidate mapping, for the unmapped element, between a set of the source data and a target element of the target elements. The device may provide a notification that identifies the candidate mapping, to permit a user selection associated with verifying the candidate mapping. The device may receive the user selection and migrate the source data to the target platform according to the target mapping and the user selection.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to an improved information management system that can perform platform-agnostic containerized application data protection. In one embodiment, the information management system receives a user's credentials to a container orchestrator along with an indication of whether or not to deploy a backup pod. Using the user credentials, the information management system accesses the container orchestrator, and if the user has requested deployment of a backup pod on the user's cluster, the information management system may do so using a backup pod specification and allow the backup pod to perform data protection operations, using a platform-agnostic interface (e.g., container storage interface), for application data accessible by the user applications on the user's pod on the user's cluster. Alternatively, if the user has not requested deployment of a backup pod, the information management system may perform data protection operations using provider-specific interface.

Abstract: A “backup services container” comprises “backup toolkits,” which include scripts for accessing containerized applications plus enabling utilities/environments for executing the scripts. The backup services container is added to Kubernetes pods comprising containerized applications without changing other pod containers. For maximum value and advantage, the backup services container is “over-equipped” with toolkits. The backup services container selects and applies a suitable backup toolkit to a containerized application to ready it for a pending backup. Interoperability with a proprietary data storage management system provides features that are not possible with third-party backup systems. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management within the illustrative backup services container. Some embodiments include one or more components of the proprietary data storage management system in a backup services pod configured in a Kubernetes node.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for recommending a response for a voice-based user input. The method includes detecting voice-based user input or input based on a query provided by a user. The method includes, extracting one or more voice parameters from pronunciation of the input. Thereafter, a disease type associated with the user is identified based on one or more voice parameters. Further, system verifies correctness of each word in the input based on comparison of each of the one or more voice parameters with a first set of predetermined corresponding one or more voice parameters associated with the disease type. Finally, the response is recommended for the input based on verification of correctness of each word in the input. The present disclosure recommends an accurate response for the input since one or more words detected incorrectly are auto corrected and provides a better user experience.
