A computer-implemented method for executing a software application in a virtual machine executing on a data processing device includes receiving software code for a software application, determining application programming interfaces referenced by the software code, determining portions of an operating system accessed by the software code and creating an application container in the virtual machine. The method also includes application programming interfaces referenced by the software code inside the application container, portions of the operating system accessed by the software code inside the application container and executing the software application inside the application container on the virtual machine.

A virtualized storage for use in performing dynamic analysis on a sample is configured, at least in part by copying the sample to the virtualized storage. A virtual machine emulator is launched using a snapshot of a virtualized platform. The virtualized platform is previously configured to use the virtualized storage, and the snapshot is configured to use a placeholder file to occupy space for later use when installing the sample. A location of the copied sample in an image corresponding to the virtualized storage is determined. The copied sample is installed and dynamic analysis is performed on the sample.

A streaming distributed decentralized database task system can perform multiple tasks of parallel jobs on clusters of nodes without overloading the clusters' computational resources, such as disk, memory, processors, and network bandwidth. A cluster master can manage a job and add items to node queues. A node manager accepts or rejects queue items based on streaming task limits that are applied at the node level.

A stream of source system storage changes associated with an object are received at a backup system from a source system. The source system storage changes associated with the object are provided to a remote data recovery system. The remote data recovery system is configured to store the provided source system storage changes associated with the object. The backup system is utilized to generate one or more reference restoration points based on the stream of source system storage changes associated with the object.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for high availability (HA) application migration in a virtualized environment. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to at least one of execute or instantiate the instructions to identify an HA slot in a virtual server rack, the HA slot to facilitate a failover of an application executing on a first virtual machine (VM) in the virtual server rack, the first VM identified as a protected VM, deploy a second VM in the HA slot, transfer data from the first VM to the second VM, and, in response to not identifying a failure of at least one of the first or second VMs during the transfer, trigger a shutdown of the first VM, and synchronize migration data associated with the virtual server rack to identify the second VM as the protected VM.

A method for integrating infrastructure software functions and automotive applications on an automotive electronic control unit (ECU) device. The ECU device includes a hardware architecture and a software architecture, wherein the hardware architecture includes two or more system-on-chips, at least two of which each comprise two or more processing cores and means to communicate with at least one other system-on-chip. The hardware architecture includes memory and means to communicate with other ECU devices. The software architecture includes one, two, or more virtual machine monitors, each of which executes one, two, or more virtual machines. At least two of said virtual machines each execute an operating system, which executes one, two, or more tasks, and the execution of two or more of the tasks uses the time-triggered paradigm. The tasks are tasks of automotive applications from at least two different automotive domains and are tasks of infrastructure software functions.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for determining whether a storage awareness service provider node of a storage system has failed. In response to determining that the storage awareness service provider node has failed, an intermediate storage awareness service may be deployed within the storage system. At least one request may be processed on the storage system via the intermediate storage awareness service.

An apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store a virtualization associated with a programming and test platform and a munition. The virtualization includes a virtual machine containing first software or firmware instructions associated with the programming and test platform and second software or firmware instructions that control behavior of the programming and test platform relative to the munition. The virtualization also includes a virtual representation of the munition. The virtualization further includes one or more virtual communication channels configured to communicatively couple the virtual machine and the virtual representation of the munition. The apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to execute the virtualization and simulate the programming and test platform and the munition on the apparatus.

According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a system, method, and computer program product for recovering from a network failure in a communication network using network function virtualization (NFV-based network), the method including: selecting a first network component of the NFV-based network, detecting at least one probable failure of the first network component, selecting a second network component to be used for replacing the instance of the VNF in the first network component prior to a failure of the first network component, and securing at least one resource of the selected second network component for the other instance of the VNF and maintaining, in the selected second network component, an updated copy of data associated with the instance of the VNF in the first network component.

Examples described herein include systems and methods for backing up and recovering a software-defined data center (“SDDC”). In one example, entities of the SDDC, such as virtual machines, hosts, and clusters, can coexist with corresponding entity stores. The entity stores can store current state information for each SDDC entity. For example, an identifier or name of a virtual machine can be stored in that virtual machine's corresponding entity store. When recovery of a controller is needed, the controller can rebuild state information that has changed after the controller was backed up, by retrieving state information from entity stores of the various SDDC entities.
