  • Publication number: 20200175583
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to blockchain-based leasing. In some aspects, a leasing party node device of a blockchain network comprising a plurality of connected blockchain nodes acquires leasable state data of a target lease object based on a unique identifier that uniquely identifies the target lease object. The leasable state data is stored in a distributed database on the blockchain network and the leasable state data specifies a leasable state of the target lease object. Lease information of the target lease object is generated in response to acquiring the leasable state data. A first update transaction is transmitted to the blockchain network to update the leasable state of the target lease object. The first update transaction includes at least a portion of the lease information.

  • Publication number: 20180349629
    Abstract: Technologies are described for selective persistence of data utilized by software containers. A configuration policy is defined that includes data that specifies one or more data stores for which data is not to be persisted following accesses to a software container and one or more data stores for which data is to be persisted following accesses to the software container. When the software container is first accessed, the data stores identified in the configuration policy are attached to the software container. Upon a subsequent access to the container, such as at the conclusion of a user session or upon destruction of the container, the data in the attached data stores is persisted or deleted based upon the configuration policy. When the software container is once again accessed, the data store containing the persisted data can be re-attached to the software container.
