Abstract: Distributed execution of commands and scripts may comprise a script execution manager having access to a library of executable objects comprising at least one or more of commands or scripts or combination of commands and scripts. A script execution console may be operable to present a graphical user interface for selecting an executable object from the library to execute and for selecting one or more managed computers, on which to execute the selected executable object. The script execution console may be further operable to present a dynamically updated collation of results from execution of the selected executable object. One or more script execution agents may be operable to run on the selected respective one or more managed computers and further operable to communicate with the script execution manager.

Abstract: A computer hardware-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product manages software patches. A computer monitoring hardware system receives a notification of a new release of a software patch. The computer monitoring hardware system scores a security posture of a monitored computer system to generate a security posture value based on a set of computer system parameters for the monitored computer system. In response to patch control logic within the computer monitoring hardware system determining that the monitored computer system is authorized to install the software patch and that the security posture value exceeds the predetermined value, the computer monitoring hardware system retrieves and installs the software patch in the monitored computer system.

Abstract: A system, program product, and method are provided for copying a virtual machine image. An image library comprising a plurality of system images is provided by a target data processing system. A source image selection is received at the target data processing system. A given image from the image library is selected by the target system based on the received source image. The selected given image is transformed into a copy of the virtual machine image by receiving blocks from a source system that are part of the virtual machine image but not a part of the selected given image, such that only the blocks missing from the selected given image are transferred from the source system to the target system in order to form the copy of the virtual machine image. The source image is preferably a virtual data processing system image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for suggesting/recommending migration of an IT environment to a cloud computing infrastructure. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, historical incident data of an information technology (IT) environment is analyzed. Based on the historical incident data, it may be determined whether a problem is recurring in the IT environment. If so, it may then be determined whether the problem can be mitigated in the cloud computing infrastructure. For example, it may be determined whether the cost of mitigating the problem by migrating to the cloud computing infrastructure is less than the cost of loss due to the problem within the current IT environment. A report particular to the IT environment that identifies a benefit of migrating the IT environment to the cloud computing infrastructure may be generated.

Abstract: Data representative of a set of requests for cloud computing services is obtained. The services are to be provided by a cloud having a plurality of base images. The requests specify requested subsets of the base images. Data representative of provisioning and de-provisioning costs associated with the plurality of base images is obtained. Then, k composite virtual appliances are pre-provisioned. The composite virtual appliances include virtual appliance subsets of the base images, based on cost minimization, in accordance with the data representative of the set of requests and the data representative of the provisioning and de-provisioning costs.
