Metadata includes runtime dependencies for services that form an application. Each runtime dependency includes one or more of the one or more services, unless it has no runtime dependencies. A first of the services is selected, based on the metadata, that does not have runtime dependencies or those runtime dependencies are operational. The selected service is started. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Deployment of services with dependencies

Techniques are disclosed for generating a dynamic upgrade prediction. The prediction includes generating an initial upgrade prediction for an upgrade to be performed on a subset of component nodes; performing a real time progress review, using a centralized management node, of the upgrade, wherein each of the component nodes includes a number of stages; performing an upgrade duration comparison between the initial upgrade prediction and a real time upgrade time for a subset of the stages; and generating an updated upgrade prediction for the multi-component product upgrade based on the comparison between the initial upgrade prediction and the real time upgrade time.

Method and system for dynamic upgrade predictions for a multi-component product

A method, apparatus, and system for generating a virtual machine (VM) installation file to deploy a VM in different cloud environments is disclosed. A file system table (FSTAB) representing a file system of the VM to be deployed is generated. The FSTAB includes one or more predetermined universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) identifying one or more dummy VM disks. Then, a first VM installation file based on the FSTAB and one or more dummy VM disk files corresponding to the dummy VM disks is generated. Next, one or more real VM disk files representing one or more real VM disks to be deployed in the cloud environments are created. Thereafter, the dummy disk files in the first VM installation file are replaced with the corresponding real VM disk files to generate a second VM installation file. The second VM installation is used to deploy VM in different cloud environments.

Unified and efficient method to generate file system table (FSTAB) to support on-premise and multi-cloud environment

The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and computer program product for managing a virtual machine. According to example implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for managing a virtual machine. In the method, in response to receiving a backup request for the virtual machine, corresponding metadata of a corresponding object of at least one object in the virtual machine is obtained, the corresponding metadata describing multiple attributes of the corresponding object in a file system of the virtual machine. A corresponding abstract describing a basic attribute of multiple attributes of the corresponding object is generated on the basis of the corresponding metadata. An index of a backup version of the virtual machine is created on the basis of the corresponding abstract, the index comprising a corresponding path of the corresponding object in the backup version of the virtual machine. Moreover, there is provided an apparatus and computer program product for managing a virtual machine.
