Abstract: Estimating fuel consumptions of a vehicle is disclosed. A first fuel consumption value in a first time interval is estimated using fuel-sender resistance data. A second fuel consumption value in a second time interval is estimated using fuel-injected mass data. At least the first fuel consumption value and the second fuel consumption value are combined to obtain a fuel consumption value. The fuel consumption value is then output.

Abstract: Example methods are provided for configuring a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) cluster managed by a cluster manager. The method may comprise retrieving, by a workflow session from the cluster manager. The workflow session may include a plurality of workflow operations, and a first workflow operation selected from the plurality of workflow operations is marked as incomplete. The method may transmit o the cluster manager a request to invoke the first workflow operation. The cluster manager may be configured to perform the first workflow operation by batch-configuring a plurality of nodes in the HCI cluster. In response to a determination that the first workflow operation is completed, the method may request the cluster manager to mark the first work operation in the workflow session as completed.
