Cloud security may be provided remotely via a device with network capabilities. Virtual resources managed by the cloud configuration may also be modified and updated based on status changes to the device that may be managed by an administrator. One example may include at least one of associating a virtual resource with a physical device, configuring the virtual resource based on an initial state of the physical device, detecting a change in the initial state of the physical device to a different state of the physical device, and updating the virtual resource based on the different state of the physical device.

Mechanisms are provided for controlling air quality within an interior of a vehicle. Air quality data is received from a vehicle mounted sensor of the vehicle, and at least one of a sensor of another vehicle, an external environment sensor, or a remotely located information source system. A first air quality measure is determined for an external environment exterior to the vehicle and a second air quality measure of an internal environment of the vehicle is determined based on the air quality data. At least one control signal to send to a climate control system of the vehicle is determined based on the determined first air quality measure and determined second air quality measure. Air quality within the internal environment of the vehicle is controlled by sending the at least one control signal to the climate control system.

Automatic vehicle climate control based on predicted air quality

An adaptor for providing remote control of a mechanical actuator includes a housing having a bore formed therein for receiving a portion of the mechanical actuator. At least one engagement mechanism extends into the bore such that the at least one engagement mechanism engages the portion of the mechanical actuator. A motor is coupled to the at least one engagement mechanism and a sensor is operably coupled to the motor such that the motor is configured to actuate the mechanical actuator via the at least one engagement mechanism in response to a signal detected by the sensor.

Disconnection protection for command-line remote terminal may be provided. A command-line remote terminal session may be created at the first computer for interacting with the second computer. A command entered in the command-line remote terminal session may be intercepted. A disconnect protection may be injected into the command. The disconnect protection may comprise at least redirecting output from the command into a session log file. The output of the command may be tracked to simulate the command as an active process in the command-line remote terminal session at the first computer. Responsive to detecting a disconnect in the remote network connection with the second computer, the remote network connection with the second computer may be automatically recovered by restarting the remote network connection with the second computer based on information stored in the session log file at a point of the disconnect.

Disconnect protection for command-line remote terminals

A method, system and computer-usable medium are disclosed for controlling access to a node deployed in a cloud environment. A new node, based upon a common image, is created in a cloud computing environment. A unique set of randomized system parameters are then generated for the new node, which is then mapped to a set of generic system parameters. A request to access the new node is intercepted, which contains the generic system parameters. The intercepted access request is then parsed to extract the set of generic system parameters, which are then replaced with the unique set of randomized system parameters associated with the target node to generate a modified access request. The modified access request is then forwarded to the target node.

Method for enhancing security access to a node in a homogenous cloud computing environment

Homogenizing tooling for a heterogeneous cloud environment

A cloud based installer package is converted to a version that can be deployed in physical machines, e.g., by extracting an installer with embedded middleware configured to run on a remote cloud deployment, and identifying a physical machine to install the package and extracting information from the physical machine and utilizing the extracted information to convert the installer to a version that can be installed in a physical machine.

Using cloud patterns for installation on unmanaged physical machines and appliances

A method, system, and computer program product for optimizing storage of Web storage attributes through analytics is provided. The method includes identifying and storing in memory of a computer, utilization of different Web storage attributes by different end users across different Web application sessions from different Web browsers and analyzing the stored utilization of different Web storage attributes to identify a past scope of utilization for each of the different Web storage attributes. The method further includes, responsive to receiving a request from a requestor for an optimal storage location of a particular Web storage attribute, determining an identified past scope of utilization for the particular Web storage attribute, mapping the determined identified past scope of utilization for the particular Web storage attribute to the optimal storage location, and returning an indication of the mapped optimal storage location of the particular Web storage attribute to the requestor.
