Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first service requirement related to a first device; determining, based on the first service requirement, a first host core model and at least one component hooked to the first host core model; generating a first packet based on the host core model and the at least one component; and configuring the first device based on the first packet. Because a configuration apparatus can run independently of a device that is in a service requirement, configuration can be completed on the device based on the service requirement when a service of the device is not broken. Difficulty in configuration can be effectively reduced by hooking the component to the host core model.

Abstract: Techniques for HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method request translation are described. A router of a Content Distribution Network (CDN) receives an HTTP POST method request seeking to obtain a resource and sends the request to a request translation engine. The request translation engine, based on the request, generates a corresponding HTTP GET method request and sends it back to the router, which obtains a response object from an origin server or from one or more levels of cache implemented by the CDN. The response object is passed back via a response message to the router, which sends the response message back to the request translation engine. The request translation engine, in turn, sends the response message back to the router, which sends the response message back to the originating client.

The service node maps the IoT device to a virtual device proxy for the selected hosting platform and receives a request from the IoT device to forward IoT data. The request includes the device key. The service node forwards the IoT data to the selected hosting platform via the virtual device proxy.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein prevent data spillage in multi-tenant services via request and response containerization with provenance checks. When a web request is received on behalf of a tenant, a request container is created and initialized with identifying information extracted from the request. Derived identifiers that can be verified as being associated with the tenant may be added to the request container. A response container for accumulating data obtained while processing the request is then created. The request and response containers are passed throughout the call path that processes the request. Identifying information passed to data access operations is obtained from the request container, while results of data access operations are stored in the response container. Before generating a web response using data from the response container, the response container is verified to contain data associated with the appropriate request.
