Methods and systems for evaluating compatibility of a cloud of computers to perform one or more workload tasks. One or more computing solution aspects are determined that corresponding to one or more sets of workload factors, where the workload factors characterize one or more workloads, to characterize one or more computing solutions. The workload factors are compared to the computing solution aspects in a rule-based system to exclude computing solutions that cannot satisfy the workload factors. A computing solution is selected that has aspects that accommodate all of the workload factors to find a solution that accommodates the one or more individual workloads.

Methods, systems; and media for application fault containment are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, a method for application fault containment is provided, the method comprising: determining a plurality of applications associated with a processing device; isolating each of the plurality of applications into an application container; receiving a user selection of one of the plurality of applications; and creating the application container of a container type for the user selected application in response to receiving the user selection; wherein, upon determining that the container type is a persistent container, configuring the created application container to maintain state information across executions of the user selected application, and wherein, upon determining that the container type is an ephemeral container, configuring the created application container to be removed after a single execution of the user selected application.

A file system interface is simulated out of at least a portion of a dormant computer system. File-based discovery is performed on the simulated file system interface to obtain a detailed inventory of at least the portion of the dormant computer system. The detailed inventory includes one or more of software profiles of at least the portion of the dormant computer system, software instances of at least the portion of the dormant computer system, services of at least the portion of the dormant computer system, and data objects used by the services.

Detailed inventory discovery on dormant systems

Systems for recording, searching, and outputting display information are provided. In some embodiments, systems for recording display information are provided. The systems include a virtual display that: intercepts display-changes describing changes to be made to a state of a display; sends the display-changes to a client for display; records the display-changes; and a context recorder that records context information describing a state of the display derived from a source independently of the display changes and independently of screen-images. In some embodiments, the systems further include a display system that generates an output screen-image based at least in part on at least one of the display-changes and in response to a search of the context information. In some embodiments, the virtual display further records screen-images; and the display system further generates the output screen-image based at least in part on a recorded-screen-image of the recorded screen-images.
