Abstract: Provided is a method for provisioning an application container volume (storage) in a cloud platform. The method takes provision requests and desired allocation capacity from users and provisions storage for an application container differently based on a determination of whether a cloud platform system generates a volume statically or dynamically, and based on a determination of whether the available space of storage space is sufficient or not to cover the desired allocation capacity. The method also notifies users about insufficient storage space to cover desired allocation capacity, and allows users to adjust desired allocation capacity to allow the provisioning proceed.

Abstract: Data file storage systems and methods that bind a local portable data storage device to remote data storage space with an emergent data file storage system. Data files and directory nodes are associated with data aspect pairs, each comprised of a series of interdependent blocks of characteristically high-entropy data. Blocks of data comprising a remote data aspect are transferred to remote data aspect storage locations. A single block of data comprising a local data aspect is transferred separately to the local portable data storage device. Neither a local data aspect nor a remote data aspect contains information about the corresponding data file or directory node.

Abstract: Methods and devices are presented for managing communications in an ephemeral communication system. In some embodiments, messages in the system are associated with a default trigger for deleting each message following an initial viewing of the message. A non-ephemeral analysis module analyses elements of the message to identify any content elements indicating that a message status should be changed from a default ephemeral status to a non-ephemeral status. Following identification of such elements in the message, the message status is changed from ephemeral to non-ephemeral. Based on the non-ephemeral message status, a copy of the message may be automatically stored in a non-ephemeral format, or a default trigger for deletion of the message may be changed.

Abstract: A load balancing method is provided: A load balancer obtains an invalidation notification, where the invalidation notification includes an identifier of an invalid object on a target side, and the invalid object includes an invalid interaction node, an invalid session group on an interaction node, or an invalid session in a session group; the load balancer broadcasts the invalidation notification, where the invalidation notification is used to instruct an interaction node on a source side to delete recorded information about a load balancing protocol of the invalid object; and the load balancer reassigns an interaction node to an application interaction request when the load balancer receives the application interaction request sent by the interaction node on the source side and destination data in the application interaction request is empty. In this way, reliability of message exchanging is ensured when an interaction node is abnormal.
