The method, in some embodiments, is performed by a network manager that receives notifications from the deployed network plugin agents regarding events relating to the deployed machines and, in response to the received notifications, configures network elements to connect one or more sets of the deployed machines.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for a proxyless NAT infrastructure with dynamic port allocation. A proxyless NAT infrastructure is configured to perform NAT between a network of virtual machines (VMs) and a device external to the network, without a device, such as a NAT server or a router, acting as a proxy. A system can include a control plane for provisioning VMs of a network, including configuring each VM to perform NAT and initially assigning a number of ports for communicating with other devices. The control plane maintains a feedback loop-receiving data characterizing port usage and network traffic at ports allocated to the various VMs and scaling the port allocation for each VM based on the received data. The control plane can allocate additional ports as determined to be needed by a VM, and later retrieve the ports to be reused for other VMs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining parameters of devices that may have influenced generated content, and appending values of these parameters to the generated content for the benefit of other users. Devices near the location at which the content was generated may be selected, and parameters of these devices may be retrieved. These device parameters are often relevant to the generated content. Accordingly, the retrieved parameter values may be appended to the generated content for transmission along with the content. In this manner, other users may view both the content and the parameters of nearby devices that may have influenced the setting of the content, assisting users in, for example, recreating the content or its subject matter for themselves.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to the field of incident analysis, and, more particularly, to systems and methods for similarity analysis in incident reports using event timeline representations. Conventionally, processing of repositories of incident reports to identify similar incidents is challenging due to use of unstructured text data in describing the incident reports. Timeline representation is an important knowledge representation which captures chronological ordering of the events. The timeline representation becomes useful in process of root cause analysis as causes would temporally precede the effect. To construct event timeline representations, chronological ordering of events is required. The present disclosure provides a temporal relation identification technique to obtain a timeline representation of the events. Further, a similarity identification approach is used that makes use of neural embeddings to identify similar timeline representations and in turn, similar incident reports.
