Aspects of the disclosure are directed to providing access to the contents of a computing platform definition. A computing platform definition includes entries indicating devices and executables to deploy to a computing platform. An orchestration engine is communicatively connected to a computing platform that implements the computing platform definition. An interface includes callable units that provide access to the computing platform definition which may be invoked by the orchestration engine during execution of a stage of an orchestration pipeline performed with respect to the computing platform. The interface receives from the orchestration engine a request indicating one of the callable units. In response to the request, the interface retrieves the portion of the computing platform definition that is associated with the callable unit indicated and provides that portion of the computing platform definition to the orchestration engine for use during execution of the stage of the orchestration pipeline.

Application programming interface for providing access to computing platform definitions

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to instantiating and configuring computing platforms at a data center according to a computing platform definition. The computing platform definition may indicate the devices to be deployed for the computing platform, the executables to be deployed for the computing platform, and build dependencies and deployment sequences for the executables. The computing platform definition may also indicate test cases and corresponding test data to perform at the computing platform. The computing platform definition may additionally indicate code standards that the source code of the executables should meet as well as enforcement standards for the instances of the computing platform. Multiple computing platforms that conform to the computing platform definition may thus be automatically instantiated based on the computing platform definition.

Using computing platform definitions to provide segmented computing platforms in a computing system

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to utilizing a computing platform definition to operate an orchestration pipeline for a computing platform conforming to that computing platform definition. The computing platform definition may indicate the devices and the executables to be deployed to the computing platform. The orchestration pipeline may include multiple stages such as a build stage that builds the executables, a deploy stage that deploys the executables, a test stage that initiates execution of test cases, an scan stage that applies code standards to the source code of the executables, and an enforce stage that determines an extent to which the computing platform deviates from the computing platform definition. Performing a stage of the orchestration pipeline may include detecting a trigger for the stage, retrieving entries associated with the stage from the computing platform definition, and controlling execution of the stage based on the entries retrieved.

Orchestration pipeline for providing and operating segmented computing resources

A business process framework (BPF) may be used to provide a vendor agnostic interface to allow one or more business users to design, deploy, test and/or monitor an operation of one or more business processes using a common user interface. The BPF may allow a user access to a business process management (BPM) system using a common interface, regardless of a vendor or version of BPM system being used by a business organization. The BPF may include a business process modeling interface allowing the business user to model, via the common user interface, regardless of the version or vendor of the BPM system product being used. The BPF may also include an execution interface capable of communicating with an execution engine included in different BRMS products. The execution interface may include a translator to translate a business model into a format compatible with each of a plurality of execution engines.

Business process framework

Aspects described herein provide systems and methods for computer system security monitoring. Multiple event monitoring agents may be deployed across an enterprise-wide computing system such that each event monitoring agent monitors at least one event generator of the enterprise-wide computing system. The event monitoring agents may be connected to an event processing server. The event processing server may receive event information generated by the event monitoring agents that describe events occurring at the event generators. The event processing server may perform a security analysis on at least a portion of the event information received that includes applying a security policy to the event information. The event processing server may execute a security response based on the security analysis performed such as, for example, a response specified in the security policy applied.

Real-time security monitoring using cross-channel event processor

Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, systems, and apparatuses of a fast start system. A computing device may automatically restart itself based on a restart schedule from a fast start network server. The computing device may initiate a booting sequence and retrieve login credentials of a user stored in the computing device. Using the stored login credentials, the computing device can login the user to the system. In response to successfully logging in the user, the computing device may initialize at least one startup application on the computing device. Once the user is successfully logged in, the computing device may automatically lock the computing device to the user to prevent any unauthorized use of the workstation.

Fast start

Various user interface components and features can be tested and simulated with the unified framework module, and the full application user experience can be tested, experienced and evaluated. This can assist the design process of an application in providing the ability to test and explore different user interface components. During this process the user components can be simulated to provide the user experience so it can be determined whether the user components are organized properly and the prototype can be validated before the full blown application is launched. Also user interface features can be further modified or added based on the user feedback. The unified framework module can be configured to package a program in a form that is suitable for any targeted device and/or channel to make deployment across various devices and channels more efficient and cost effective.

Deploying multi-channel or device agnostic applications

A system includes a queuing module coupled to a first database and a delivery module coupled to a second database and the queuing module. The queuing module is operable to receive a plurality of communications from a plurality of applications and store the plurality of communications in the first database. The delivery module is operable to receive the stored plurality of communications from the queuing module, access end-user subscription information stored in the second database, determine, based on the end-user subscription information, one or more devices to receive the plurality of communications, and deliver the plurality of communications to the determined one or more devices on behalf of the plurality of applications. The end-user subscription information indicates one or more devices to receive the plurality of communications.
