In an approach to improve multi-data center environments by minimizing the environmental impact of workloads in multi-data center environments embodiments migrate at least a portion of one or more workloads between one or more data centers automatically to maximize a usage of renewable energy based on a predetermined threshold score of input power and a combination of renewal energy sources. Further, embodiments dictate, by a policy engine, where at least a portion of the one or more workloads can be hosted. Additionally, embodiments control, by a scheduling engine, how, when, and where at least a portion of the one or more workloads will migrate, and perform data replication to migrate data between a plurality of data center locations.

Minimizing the environmental impact of workloads

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.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for pre-packaging and pre-configuring software products using chatbot message exchanges with users are described. Embodiments may include receiving a user inquiry, initiating a first chat session comprising a primary chatbot within a user interface, receiving user request data corresponding to a first string of communications, and determining a product based on the user request data. Responsive to determining the product, embodiments may include initiating a second chat session comprising a secondary chatbot configured to elicit product feature information about the product within the user interface; receiving product data corresponding to a second string of communications comprising the product feature information; determining product package parameters based on product information; determining executables to provide the product based on user request data, product feature information, and product package parameters; and compiling the executables in respective groups based user requirements and user characteristics.

Pre-packaging and pre-configuration of software products using chatbots

Machine logic for causing a computer system to perform the following operations (not necessarily in the following order): (i) receiving, by a historical decisions and opinions data store, decisions and opinions that have been communicated, propagated and/or otherwise espoused by a first entity; (ii) receiving, by an influencer data store, a plurality of influencer data sets, with each influencer data set including information indicative of opinions expressed by a respectively corresponding influencer; (iii) performing, by reverse chain engine, reverse chaining using the following inputs: (a) data of the historical decisions and opinions data store, and (b) the plurality of influencer data sets; and (iv) predicting, by a prediction engine, a likely future decision of the first entity using output of the reverse chaining operation.

Predictive decision making based on influence identifiers and learned associations

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. The method also includes receiving, by the backend application, the single-use code, and sending, by the backend application, the single-use code to the frontend application.

Shared voting for accounting

According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for decoying poachers away from an animal equipped with a tracking device is provided. The present invention may include generating, based on machine learning and movement patterns of the tracked animal, one or more decoy paths; transmitting instructions to one or more decoy transmitters to simulate characteristics of the tracking device, and to simulate the decoy paths by moving to and/or transmitting decoy signals at sequential locations at corresponding times to imitate signals from the tracking device; and, responsive to determining that the one or more decoy transmitters are not capable of simulating all of the decoy paths, removing one or more decoy paths.

Anti-poaching device

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.
