US Patent 11188857 Automating functions in a computing environment

A technology is provided for optimizing compute tasks for performing functions in computer environment. Compute tasks and sub-compute tasks that perform a function within computer environment may be monitored. One or more task patterns may be detected based at least in part on the one or more compute tasks. At least one task patterns is identified as an efficient or alternative compute task pattern to perform the function. An automation option is provided to execute the efficient or alternative compute task pattern to perform the function. Each compute task associated with the efficient or alternative compute task pattern may be automatically executed to perform the function upon acceptance of the automation option.
