Replicating a software cluster which includes control software and containers in another computing environment can include software operators which can be generated relating to modular functionalities of a control software cluster. The software operators are derived from analyzing the control software cluster. The software operators further being derived from analyzing code of the control software cluster including the containers, and from analyzing software configurations for the control software cluster. The generating of the software operators can include, at least in part, determining software configuration requirements for the control software cluster. The generating of the software operators including at least in part, creating a template for the control software cluster based on the determined software configuration requirements and the analysis of the another software computing environment. All or a portion of the software operators of the control software cluster can be replicated in the another software computing environment.

Modular decomposition and composition of container software management clusters in hybrid cloud

A plurality of containers can be configured for running applications associated to at least one node of a distributed computing environments. The containers of the plurality of containers includes integrated intelligence that provides an in memory state component that detects how container instances are running. A quorum synchronization component of the integrated intelligence can coordinate the activities of the containers. A first container can be initiated for running a first node application. The memory state component can determine if a topology exists in the plurality of containers that is running an existing application matching the first node application. The quorum synchronization component of the integrated intelligence can coordinate running of the first node application with the first container with the existing application.

Self orchestrated containers for cloud computing

In an approach to improve implementing program code modifications within a predetermined system embodiments simulate an impact of an implemented modification to a software code against one or more predetermined constraints using a target environment. Further, embodiments comparing a first executed simulation against a second executed simulation of the software code, wherein the second executed simulation comprises the implemented modifications and a current version of the software code. Additionally, embodiments, generate guidance for a user based on the comparison of the first and second executed simulations, wherein the generated guidance comprises positive and negative impacts of the implemented software code modifications regarding compliance with the one or more predetermined constraints, and output, by a user interface, the generated guidance to the user detailing the impact of the implemented modification.

Management and development of modifications within a source code

A method and associated computer system and computer program product. A set of legal compliance rules associated with a service is identified. A service provider with associated service provider characteristics is identified. The service provider is capable of providing the service. Compliance or non-compliance of the legal compliance rules with the service provider characteristics is verified using service characteristics of a default service. A compliant or non-compliant verification of the service provider for the default service is returned from a result of the verifying compliance or non-compliance.

Legislation aware system

A method for improved distribution of data in a computing environment includes receiving data for distribution in the computing environment and receiving configuration data of the computing environment. The method also includes parsing the data for distribution using the configuration data into header information of a packet. The header information includes data offsets identifying a common data portion within the date for distribution, the common data portion being available to all nodes of the computing environment and identifying a first node of the computing environment and a particular-node data portion within the data for distribution, the particular-node data portion being available only to the first node of the computing environment. The method also includes broadcasting the header information of a packet to all nodes of the computing environment and broadcasting the data for distribution to all nodes of the computing environment in response to broadcasting the header information.

Distribution of data

A method for improved distribution of data in a computing environment includes receiving data for distribution in the computing environment, receiving configuration data of the computing environment, parsing the data for distribution using the configuration data, and outputting header information of a packet, the packet including the data for distribution.

System, method, and computer program product for improved distribution of data

A method for determining a plurality of scheduling endpoints in a grid network, each scheduling endpoint comprising a device for processing job requests communicated across the network, the method comprising the steps of: examining a communication across the network in order to determine a current activity status of a requesting device; identifying an activity history for the requesting device; comparing the current activity status with the activity history to derive a statistical data set; and analysing the statistical data set to derive a time period in which the requesting device is available for processing job requests.

Method and system for determining a plurality of scheduling endpoints in a grid network

Dynamically generating expanded user messages, in a computer system having a logging tool for creating a log file. The log file comprises log messages produced in response to events occurring during execution of an application program. Firstly, the application program source code is pre-analysed to extract a plurality of program components, including comments. The different component types and comments associated with them are ordered into tabular form. An individual log message is read from the log file and its program components are determined. Comments associated with these program components are read from the relationship tables. The comments are used to supplement the original log message by combining them to produce expanded user messages in a user-friendly format. These expanded user messages may be further grammatically parsed into natural language, in order to provide the end user with more meaningful diagnostic information.
