How to migrate a Virtual Server from one account to another - virtual-machine

I was wondering how to migrate a Virtual Server from one account to another one.
In particular, if I have a VSI on a Softlayer account and I want to migrate the same to a IBM Cloud account (the new one which includes the IaaS part as well), how can I do that?
Thanks in advance guys,

You can "Share Image With Account Number" from the image description page.
You have to make the image template of the VSI and input your account number at first.
After sharing image, you can deploy your VSI from your shared image template.
or you can utilize the function of export and import the image template between your accounts.

Account not found for tombstone account (Creating a notebook instance)

I'm trying to setup my GCP account, so that I can use a cloud GPU to run my Tensorflow projects.
I am following this guide from google, but for some reason, when try to create a new notebook instance, I get the following error:
Account not found for tombstone account.
I have absolutely no idea what a tombstone account is, and how I would create one. Google doesn't mention anything about this, nor in the guide, so I really hope someone could point me in the right direction here.
"Account not found for tombstone account." is seen normally when you delete a Service Account and try to use it or recreated it after a short period of time.
I would try to create a new Service Account with a different name and specify it when you create the new AI Platform Notebooks instance.

Azure API Management Developer Portal

I have a requirement to expose the APIM Developer Portal to external partners, I want the developer portal to be my one stop shop for these partners to access and learn everything they need to know about my APIs, in the main APIM Developer Portal satisfies that requirement but when I want to add new content e.g. specific design, architecture, user guide documentation etc about the API it starts to get very confusing, for a start it looks like the depreciated publisher portal (which still exists) is the only place that I can add new pages. The new pages seem very limited and clunky and cannot be amended in the new version of the portal. There is also very limited documentation outside the standard MS stuff and nearky all of that relates to amending the current pages and templates.
My site will go live at the end of the year and I don't want to find one day these new content pages missing from the portal and my supporting documentation removed.
Does anybody know where Microsoft is going with the developer portal for customizing outside outside the standard templates they offer or can anybody supply me with a link of documentation that addresses new content pages?

Yes, you need to use the publisher portal to add new pages.
The new pages seem very limited and clunky and cannot be amended in
the new version of the portal.
What do you mean by new version of the portal?
I am going live at the end of the year and I don't want to find one day these new content pages missing from the portal and my supporting documentation removed.
If your worry is that API Management will automatically remove your content because of publisher portal deprecation - you can rest assured this is not going to happen, especially without any previous notice.

There is some work planned to refresh the developer portal. Can you please elaborate more on what you are trying to achieve? What is your goal?
One can edit those pages in 2 places: Publisher Portal and Developer Portal.
In the Publisher portal you can add widgets to predefined areas on the page. For example you can add a HTML widget to the home page for authenticated and non-authenticated users. Rasmas Gude has a great article about that here.
In the Developer Portal you can change the information shown on each page by editing the template. There's a edit template icon available on the left for administrator. If you click that and then select the section you want to edit a split screen will appear below. The left have is DotLiquid markup and the right is the data model for that section. With that information you should be able to modify the page in the manner you wish.
If they are decommissioning the publisher portal, it will be enabled in the azure portal. Earlier we have the API, Products and users etc in the publisher portal. that are added in the other portal. The deprecation of the portal, dosnt mean the existing functionality will fail, which have the alternatives.

How can I get the billing for a VM Instance in GCP?

I have a project in Google Cloud, where I have multiple instances running, and I have a billing account for the organisation. But I want to make a VM instance, say vm-01 for couple of hours then it will be deleted. I want to get the exact cost that vm-01 incurred during it's period using the API calls. Is it possible?
In your GCP Web Console,
go to Billing page
go to Billing export section
you could either export the detail billing to BigQuery or File
you could search the billing item in the export
https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/bq-examples
https://cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/export-data-file
And suggest you to use Label to label the resource, e.g. Compute Engine, for better resource management.

How to store images for mobile development

I decided to use back4app for easily creating my backend and for having a built in hosting solution.
I'm quite a newbie with this tool so my question will seem "simple":
I was wondering how will I store the images of my mobile application. As far as I know they use AWS so I thought the service would provide like an interface to upload some images to a S3 bucket...
Should I create a personal bucket or does the service offer that kind of feature ?
The idea is to store then the absolute url of the image in my model. For example each Class has a cover field of type string.
you're right, Back4App use AWS.
Back4App prepared the Backend for you, for example, if you try to save a file direct at your Parse Dashboard, you will can access the image and you already have a absolute URL.You can configure the column with a type File, like below:
Add a column with the File type
After upload a file, you will can access click at the box :)
After that upload the file

Can't Find Option to Create Feature Layer

I have an ArcGIS online account, but I can't find option to create a feature layer.
I tried to create developers account, but yet didn't find a way to create feature layer service.
I have added data from CSV file, but don't find publish button so that it can be hosted using feature layer. How do I host my service as a feature layer?
There are (at least) three ways to do this.
Create a feature layer when uploading data. Per Esri help: When you are uploading the CSV to AGOL initially, you need to indicate that you want it also published as a feature layer:
Check the box next to Publish this file as a hosted layer.
If you leave the box unchecked, your data file is added to My Content,
but no hosted feature layer is published. You can publish the feature
layer later if you want. See Add items for more information.
Create a feature layer from already uploaded data, using the Create menu (when you're in your My Content page).
Click "Publish" from the item's specific page.
I have signed up for developers account, but didn't complete so that's why I was allocated public account rather than developers, so I created new developers account and used that account to login on arcgis.
Now I found the option to create feature layer, also found publish button,
