Techniques are described herein that facilitate monitoring one or more activities performed by a user on one or more devices, determining one or more topics of interest based on the monitored activities, preference information, and information within a user network, retrieving information from one or more network sites relating to the one or more topics of interest, and providing the retrieved information to the user.

Providing relevant information to a user based upon monitored user activities in one or more contexts

Aspects of the disclosure relate to managing migration of one or more applications from a primary computing device to recovery computing devices using a controller. Resource data that includes application resource requirements and resource capacities is monitored. An application exists as a single instance on the primary computing device. A recovery cluster for the application consisting of recovery computing devices is determined. A division of the application into a plurality of application instances is identified. In response to the resource data being updated, a new recovery cluster is determined. In response to the new recovery cluster, a new plurality of application instances is identified. Once a triggering event on the primary computing device is detected, the controller migrates the new application instances to the new recovery cluster. Other uses of the disclosure are possible.
