Mitigating threats to container-based workloads is provided by a process that includes detecting an attack against a container hosting environment that includes active and reserve container pools. The attack poses a potential threat of contamination to hosted containers. Based on detecting the attack, the process identifies a time-to-contamination, taken as an amount of time for an active container of the active container pool to become contaminated as a result of the attack. The process provisions new containers into the reserve container pool at a determined rate that is based on the identified time-to-contamination, and continuously removes, from the active container pool, active containers servicing the workload and concurrently deploys reserve containers from the reserve container pool to the active container pool to replace the removed active containers and takeover servicing the workload.

Mitigating threats to container-based workloads

A method and system. The method includes receiving datacenter context input information, processing the datacenter context input information, and outputting the cost-versus-datacenter-quantity information. The processing the datacenter context input information may generate the cost-versus-datacenter-quantity information. The cost-versus-datacenter-quantity information is a total datacenter cost to run an application versus a quantity of datacenters used to run the application.

Optimization of steady state cost for multi-site high availability application deployment of management and managed intrastructure

Managing container applications by providing a registry of managed container base images, each managed container base image wrapped to include an injection point, determining that a managed container base image includes a vulnerability, and creating a patch script to address the vulnerability. Managing container applications further includes inserting the patch script at the injection point and issuing a pull command for an application using the managed container base image, to a container orchestration tool.

Managing software programs

A method of identifying targeted content includes deploying a plurality of internet bots configured to interact with content sources using predetermined patterns and profiles, wherein each individual internet bot of the plurality of internet bots includes at least one characteristic that is unique relative to the rest of the plurality of internet bots, collecting cause and effect data related to cause and effect of user interactions with content sources, receiving the cause and effect data collected by the plurality of internet bots, correlating user interactions with content sources using the cause and effect data collected by the plurality of internet bots, and identifying, how content is targeted to users by content sources from the correlating.

Targeted content identification and tracing

Approaches presented herein enable tailoring messages to enhance sharing and resonance based on a community fingerprint and a key influencer. More specifically, a message to be directed to members of an online social community is received. Members of the social community who influence the social community and their likelihood to re-share messages are identified. A re-share fingerprint for the identified influencer is generated that maps the influencer's likelihood to re-share content. A communications fingerprint of the community is also created using an amalgamation of the communication patterns and styles of individual members of the community. The received message is optimized to most effectively target the message to the online social community and to solicit a desired response from the community based on the community communication fingerprint. The optimized message can then be forwarded to the online social community.

Approaches for monitoring performance in a networked environment are provided. An approach includes monitoring, using a first metric, performance of a first host running a virtual machine. The approach also includes determining, using a computer device, a second metric based on the virtual machine being migrated from the first host to a second host, wherein the second metric is a function of: (i) the first metric and (ii) a comparison of the first host and the second host. The approach further includes monitoring, using the second metric, performance of the second host running the virtual machine.

Dynamic network monitoring

Approaches for expiring cached virtual content in a virtual universe are provided. In one approach, there is an expiration tool, including an identification component configured to identify virtual content associated with an avatar in the virtual universe, an analysis component configured to analyze a behavior of the avatar in a region of the virtual universe, the behavior indicating a likely future location of the avatar, and an expiration component configured to expire cached virtual content associated with the avatar based on the behavior of the avatar in the region of the virtual universe, wherein the cached virtual content associated with the avatar in the future location is maintained in the cache longer than cached virtual content associated with the avatar in another region of the virtual universe.

A single service proxy for requesting services from multiple different service vendors with different communication protocols. In this way, a single communication protocol can be used by a service consuming entity to request various services, through the multiple vendor proxy, from various vendors, with the multiple vendor proxy converting the requests into the communication protocol (for example, syntax) appropriate for the vendor from whom the service is being requested on behalf of the service consuming entity.

Multiple vendor services oriented architecture (SOA) service requesting proxy

A computer-implemented for delivering tailored content to an individual includes: obtaining, by a computer system, communications of the individual; obtaining, by the computer system, a communication fingerprint for the individual based on analysis of the communications of the individual; tailoring, by the computer system, a message to the individual using the communication fingerprint; and delivering the message to the individual. Using sentiment analysis combined with a unique communication fingerprint for an individual advantageously provides for a more tailored, and thus more effective, communication to the individual.

Communication fingerprint for identifying and tailoring customized messaging

Approaches presented herein enable tailoring messages to enhance sharing and resonance based on a community fingerprint and a key influencer. More specifically, a message to be directed to members of an online social community is received. Members of the social community who influence the social community and their likelihood to re-share messages are identified. A re-share fingerprint for the identified influencer is generated that maps the influencer's likelihood to re-share content. A communications fingerprint of the community is also created using an amalgamation of the communication patterns and styles of individual members of the community.
