A system and related method reduce public cloud provisioning latencies using one or more processors. The method comprises, prior to receiving a volume provisioning request from a user, creating a pool of pre-provisioned generic volumes. The method further comprises receiving the request from the user to provision a volume from the pool, and then determining that a pre-provisioned generic volume is available for customization based on the request. Responsive to the determination, the method executes the actions comprising customizing the pre-provisioned generic volume based on the request, creating a custom volume, and providing the customized pre-provisioned volume to the user.

Pre-provisioning storage volumes in the public cloud to reduce provisioning latencies

One or more devices, systems and/or methods for generating waste profiles are provided. For example, a graphical user interface may be controlled to display a waste profile interface. A request to generate a waste profile associated with waste may be received via the waste profile interface. The request may comprise waste parameters of the waste. One or more waste information databases may be analyzed to identify data records associated with the waste parameters. The waste profile may be generated based upon the waste parameters and the data records. An electronic waste transfer request, comprising the waste profile, associated with the waste, may be transmitted over a network connection to a second device associated with a waste facility. An acceptance message indicating that the waste facility accepts the waste or a rejection message indicating that the waste facility rejects the waste may be received from the second device.

Generating a waste profile

One or more devices, systems and/or methods for managing waste are provided. For example, a waste profile may be generated, based upon inputs received from a first device via a profile interface of a waste data aggregation platform. An approval notice may be received, via an approval interface of the waste data aggregation platform, from a second device. Shipping information may be entered into a plurality of digital forms of a shipping documentation interface based upon the waste profile and/or one or more inputs received from the first device and/or the second device. A shipping order for shipment of the waste may be generated. One or more notifications corresponding to the shipment of the waste may be transmitted to one or more devices associated with the shipment. The waste profile may be analyzed to generate a risk report, a sustainability report, a landfill report, a raw material source report, etc.

Waste management system

One or more systems and/or methods for providing a notification of a life event to a user for a contact of the user are provided. A contact database (e.g., an electronic address book, a social media contact list, etc.) associated with the user may be evaluated to identify a contact from a set of contacts of the user. A contact query may be created for the contact. The contact query may be utilized to access data articles within a data store. The data articles may be evaluated to identify life events associated with the contact. In an example, the life event may be at least one of a death event, a birth event, an engagement event, a marriage event, a graduation event, an anniversary event, or the like. A notification may be provided to the user of the life event in response to identifying the life event for the contact.

Methods and systems for providing life event notifications to one or more users

A method, a processing device and a computer program product are provided. Based on parameters pertaining to a data source, a first processing device may determine whether a data source is a known data source. If the data source is determined to be the known data source, then the first processing device sends respective configuration information to multiple processing devices. The respective configuration information being based on configuration information from a previous integration and configuring the multiple processing devices as an operational data pipeline to extract data from the known data source, transform the extracted data to a first data model employed by a data system, and load the transformed data into the data system.
