T-shirt size recommendation for a first user based on crowd sourcing. A recommendation for t-shirt size may be made by defining a first image of a container based on historical data related to container instantiation; receiving, by the computer, from a first user, a request to deploy a first instantiation of a container corresponding to the first image, with the request including input data including information indicative of a planned context of the first instantiation; applying a plurality of machine logic based rules to the input data to determine a first a first recommended T-shirt size associated with the first image; and communicating, by the computer, the first recommended T-shirt size to the first user for use with the first instantiation of the container corresponding to the first image.

Providing supplemental authentication of a user based on hand gesture activity of a user with an application of a device after a user has completed a successful authentication challenge to initially access the device. Hand gesture activity of the user with the device is recorded during current use of an application of the device. The recorded hand gesture activity during current use of an application of the device is compared to previous recorded hand gesture activity during use of the same application of the device by an authorized user to provide a supplemental authentication of the user. When the recorded hand gesture activity does not match the previously recorded hand gesture activity during use of the same application, the use of the application on the device is halted and an additional authentication challenge requiring input from the user is presented to the user.

Supplemental hand gesture authentication

Filtering audible notifications to the user from a device based on an enhanced white list with a static white list set by the user and a temporary white list. The temporary white list includes expiring entries. The entries of the temporary white are based on keywords and context extracted from the applications and activities on the device that are associated with a dependency list between applications of the device and context. If a notification is present on the temporary white list or the static list, the notification from the application audibly sound to the user through the device.
