Abstract: disclosed methods and systems for implementing serverless management of platform resources maintain a function-as-a-service (faas) mapping database associating a resource and management function combination with a locator identifying a container image for implementing management interactions required to perform the management function. when a faas request indicating a function-resource combination is detected, the applicable locator is retrieved from the mapping database and the corresponding container image is deployed. each resource may correspond to a specific version of a specific make or model, e.g., a server model and a firmware version. api, protocol, and messaging specifics for performing the function on the resource are embedded in each container image. thus, the container image for an inventory operation on a server with a first version of firmware may execute soap-based messaging while the image for the same operation on the same server model provisioned with a second firmware version may invoke a restful api.

Abstract: a key input counter stored in non-transitory memory coupled to a keyboard membrane and executing on a processing resource of the keyboard membrane stores a number of key presses detected at the membrane to track health of the keyboard for reuse. key input values are queued in batches of sufficient size so that communication to non-transitory memory hides inputs made by an end user, such as a password input. in some embodiments, the batches are copied to non-transient memory when a sufficient multiple of a password exists to mask the password value, or when a sufficient amount of time passes to break up any end user key input sequences. in one embodiment, key values are tracked for less than all the keys to prevent malicious reading of key inputs while still tracking particular values for end of life numbers of key inputs.

Abstract: an information handling system having a display magnetically couples a peripheral camera to the display with a magnet included in the camera housing. a colorimeter located proximate the magnet detects colors presented at the display at a position where the peripheral camera couples to the display. iteratively comparing colors presented at the display with colors detected by the colorimeter determines a position of the peripheral camera. the algorithm has a more rapid response by predicting the camera position, such as near a videoconference window. incremental changes to colors presented at the display so that the presented colors do not match colors of content of an end user yet are indistinguishable to the human eye aid in providing a definitive peripheral camera location.
