    Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system monitors and controls resource exchanges on behalf of participants in the resource-exchange system in order to optimize resource usage within participant data centers and computing facilities. The resource-exchange system automatically determines resource pricing on behalf of participant resource-provider computing facilities and subsequently recalibrates resource pricing on behalf of participant resource-provider computing facilities to steer hosting requests towards proportionate consumption of resources allocated by the resource-provider computing facilities to the resource-exchange system.

    Abstract: The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search-based auction methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing facilities. In one implementation, resource-provider computing facilities automatically generate hosting fees for hosting computational-resources-consuming entities on behalf of resource-consumer computing facilities that are included in bid-response messages returned by the resource-provider computing facilities in response to receiving bid-request messages. In another implementation, a cloud-exchange system automatically generates hosting fees on behalf of resource-provider computing facilities.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for binding the configuration state of client devices to the blockchain. A management agent can send a request to a smart contract hosted by a blockchain network for a configuration state for the computing device, the request comprising a device identifier for the computing device. The management agent can then receive the configuration state from the smart contract and apply the configuration state to the computing device.

    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, media, and systems for remediation of containerized workloads based on context breach at edge devices are disclosed. One example computer-implemented method includes monitoring telemetry data from a first software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) edge device, where the telemetry data includes multiple context elements at the first SD-WAN edge device. It is determined that a context change occurs for at least one of the context elements at the first SD-WAN edge device. It is determined that due to the context change, the first SD-WAN edge device does not satisfy one or more requirements for running one or more workloads scheduled to run. In response to the determination that the first SD-WAN edge device does not satisfy the one or more requirements, the at least one of the one or more workloads is offloaded from the first SD-WAN edge device to a second SD-WAN edge device.

    Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for setting virtual machines (“VMs”) to desired configurations while the virtual machines are running. In one example, a user can select a VM and a desired configuration. An agent can then set an attribute of the virtual machine to indicate that on guest operation system (“OS”) reboot of the VM, the VM will enter BIOS mode. The agent can also store the desired configuration in the database based on authenticating the user. When the VM reboots at a future time, the attribute can cause the VM to enter BIOS setup. The agent can be notified and can retrieve the desired configuration from a database using an identifier for the VM. Then the agent can apply the desired configuration to the VM during BIOS setup with a system process that does not require further user authentication.
