Connecting an IoT device enabling a new function of another IoT device. An IoT hub scans a network segment for presence of an IoT device. Upon detecting the IoT device, a device response pattern is received. The device response pattern is compared with stored response patterns. A matching stored response pattern is selected which has a similarity to the device response pattern. A pattern difference is derived. Related device information is transformed into a device signature for the IoT device. The device signature is transferred to a discovery engine. The device signature is compared to stored signatures and protocol information. A matching stored signature and protocol information is transferred to the IoT hub. The IoT hub compares the new function with functions of other connected IoT devices. Upon finding a matching other IoT device, the other IoT device is offered a usage of the new function and protocol information.

Discovery of IoT devices

A method, and associated computer system and computer program product, for notifying users of events. A notification server that includes a computer receives a notification rule. The notification server generates, for the received notification rule, a unique identifier for communication. The notification server receives an indication of an IT event that occurred in a source computing device. The received notification identifies a software hug associated with the IT event. The notification rule is a condition of a severity level of the software bug exceeding a predefined threshold. The notification server determines whether the received indication satisfies the notification rule. In response to determining that the received indication satisfies the notification rule, the notification server marks the received event, using the unique identifier and broadcasting the marked event for receipt by those users who have access to said unique identifier.

Event notification

A method, and associated computer system and computer program product, for notifying users of events. A notification server that includes a computer receives a notification rule. The notification server generates, for the received notification rule, a unique identifier for communication using a predefined social networking service. The notification server receives an indication of an event that occurred in an event source. The notification server determines whether the received indication satisfies the notification rule. In response to determining that the received indication satisfies the notification rule, the notification server marks the received event, using the unique identifier and broadcasting the marked event using the social networking service for receipt by those users who have access to said unique identifier.

An approach is provided in which an information handling system deploys a first microservice included in an application to a first microservice runtime environment (MRE). The information handling system receives a first set of performance metrics corresponding to a performance level of the first microservice in the first MRE, and receives a second set of performance metrics corresponding to a second MRE. Then, the information handling system determines that the first microservice will have a higher performance level in the second MRE than in the first MRE based on comparing the first set of performance metrics against the second set of performance metrics. As a result, the information handling system redeploys the first microservice from the first MRE to the second MRE.
