Monitoring and enhancing performance of containers using a calibration technique is implemented using a computer. Performance of a new container as part of an application running on the computer is checked by comparing a current performance of the new container with baseline data corresponding to the new container. The baseline data is derived from a calibration container corresponding to the new container. The new container is categorized in a category of performance based on the checking of the performance of the new container. An alert can be sent to a device of an administrator regarding the new container meeting a threshold of performance, in response to the new container meeting the threshold of performance. The alert can be sent to the device of the administrator for the administrator to initiate an action pertaining to the new container in response to receiving the alert.

A method and system for automatically removing undesirable vegetation is provided. The method includes receiving by a first vehicle, data describing a specified geographical area for scanning. The specified geographical area is divided into a plurality of sectors and a second vehicle is directed to a first sector of the plurality of sectors. First geographical coordinates associated with areas of undesirable vegetation growth located within the first sector are receiving from the second vehicle and an optimal travel path from a current location of the first vehicle to the areas of undesirable vegetation growth located within first sector are determined based on analysis of the first geographical coordinates. The first vehicle is directed to the areas of undesirable vegetation growth via the optimal travel path and a process for eliminating the areas of undesirable vegetation growth is executed.

Automated vegetation removal

Technology for determining at least one physical property of a physical volumetric substance within a container over a time interval and rendering a virtual representation of the physical volumetric substance in a virtual reality environment. At least one physical property of the physical volumetric substance is captured by a plurality of snapshots over a time interval. The plurality of snapshots is captured by one or more components capable of identifying at least one physical property of the physical volumetric substance. The plurality of snapshots is transmitted to process, render and/or display a virtual representation of the physical volumetric substance. The virtual representation of the physical volumetric substance is based, at least in part, on the captured plurality of snapshots. An indicator data set, indicative of the one or more physical properties of a physical volumetric substance, may be transmitted to an external client.

Tracking and rendering physical volumetric substances in virtual reality

A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for managing a network data processing system. Digital twins of physical devices in the network data processing system are run by a computer system. The digital twins process workloads and the digital twins communicate with each other. An impact on a number of parameters for a first set of the digital twins that a second set of the digital twins has on the first set of the digital twins is identified by the computer system. A set of actions is performed by the computer system based on the impact on the number of parameters.

Data center management using digital twins

A method includes receiving, by a backend application, a request for a transaction from a frontend application, and determining, by the backend application, that the request is approved according to an approval policy. The method also includes creating, by the backend application, a single-use account, and requesting, by the backend application, a single-use code for the single-use account from a financial institution.

Computerized devices search each of a group of different calendars of a group of attendees of a proposed event for an available timeslot within each of the calendars that meets boundary conditions specified for the proposed event. In response to failing to find an available time slot in common to all attendee calendars that meets the boundary conditions, the devices autonomously identify a common existing event scheduled within the calendars of the attendees that can accommodate the boundary conditions and add the new event to the existing event, or reschedule a previously scheduled event of one or more of the attendees to create a common, free timeslot for the new event where the event cannot be accommodated within an existing event.

A method, program product, and system for audio content control during an idle condition of a telephonic call. A signal identifying an idle condition is received by a calling device from a called party, wherein the idle condition includes a wait-state connection to the called party. A signal is transmitted from the calling device to the called party confirming local control of audio content during the idle condition of the audio call. Preferences of audio content accessible to the calling device are determined. The audio content is delivered to the calling device, based on the preferences. An indicator signal of an interrupt point pause during delivery of the audio content is transmitted to the called party, and information associated with the idle condition of the audio call is received by the calling device, from the called party based on the indicator signal of the interrupt point.

A method and system for improving efficiency and security of a role based access control (RBAC) identity management system. A service provider owner requests an addition of a service provider identity dataset to a role dataset in the RBAC identity management system. The role dataset includes permissions to the individual users within the service provider identity dataset to access a secured resource of the RBAC identity management system and to perform the service on the secured resource. Addition of the service provider identity dataset to the role dataset is granted and is periodically revalidated which includes receiving an instruction to maintain or delete the service provider identity dataset from the role dataset. Access to the secured resource is based on the service provider identity dataset in the role dataset, instead of being based on the individual users, which improves the efficiency and security of the RBAC identity management system.
