Abstract:

A distributed computing system conforms to a multi-level, hierarchical organizational model. One or more control nodes provide for the efficient and automated allocation and management of computing functions and resources within the distributed computing system in accordance with the organization model. The model includes four distinct levels: fabric, domains, tiers and nodes that provide for the logical abstraction and containment of the physical components as well as system and service application software of the enterprise. A user, such as a system administrator, interacts with the control nodes to logically define the hierarchical organization of distributed computing system. The control nodes are responsible for all levels of management in accordance with the model, including fabric management, domain creation, tier creation and node allocation and deployment.

International Classification:

G06F 1/26

US Classification:

713300000

Abstract:

A distributed computing system contains one or more application nodes. One or more control nodes provide for the efficient and automated allocation and management of computing functions and resources within the distributed computing system. The control node includes an automation subsystem that provides autonomic power control for the application nodes, regardless of which vendor manufactured the application nodes. For power controllers not specifically supported by the distributed computing system, a universal power controller responds to power down instructions by causing a targeted application node to execute an idle software image and reports that the application node has been successfully powered down.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44
G06F 11/30

Abstract:

A particular software container hosting a particular microservice is identified that is to implement at least a portion of a software program. A set of other containers hosting other microservices are determined to be interoperable with the particular microservice and an affinity value corresponding to the particular container is determined for each other container in the set, each of the affinity values representing a respective degree of correspondence between the particular container and the corresponding other container. A listing of at least a subset of the set of other containers are presented together with an indication of the corresponding affinity value of each of the subset of other containers.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445

Abstract:

In one embodiment, configuration information for a microservices application is obtained, the microservices application comprising a plurality of microservice containers, and the configuration information comprising version information for each of the plurality of microservice containers. A graphical representation of the microservices application is displayed, wherein the graphical representation of the microservices application comprises a representation of each of the plurality of microservice containers. It is determined, based on the version information, whether each of the plurality of microservice containers is updated or outdated. A graphical indication of an updated microservice container is displayed; a graphical indication of an outdated microservice container is displayed; and a graphical indication of an extent to which the outdated microservice container is out-of-date is displayed.
