Abstract: Techniques for self-service orchestration are disclosed. A system deploys instances of a self-service orchestration agent to tenant-specific software-as-a-service (SaaS) environments operating in a multi-tenant SaaS environment, without reconfiguring existing software in the tenant-specific SaaS environments. Each self-service orchestration agent includes functionality to configure one or more components. Each tenant-specific SaaS environment includes a dedicated set of software operating on a dedicated logical partition of hardware infrastructure. The system receives, via a self-service orchestration interface, a request to configure a component across the tenant-specific SaaS environments.

Abstract: Instances of an application pod may be deployed to many different computing environments spanning native cloud installations, SaaS providers, and on-premise data centers. In order to make uniform changes to a distribution of an application pod, a lock manager may receive and schedule lock requests from many different types of utilities. These utilities may schedule exclusive locks on the application pod throughout the different computing environments, such that patches, updates, security protocols, and other changes may be instituted without interference from changes made concurrently by other utilities. The lock manager may schedule immediate and future locks, with lock extensions and lock overrides available for flexibility.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for coordinating, with a cloud exchange, automated cloud-based disaster recovery across containers from a failed cloud service to a backup cloud service. In some examples, an orchestration engine for a cloud exchange is configured to: detect an indication of a disruption in a first cloud service provided by a first cloud service provider network coupled to the cloud exchange to send and receive data packets via the cloud exchange; provision, in response to detecting the indication of the disruption in the first cloud service, disaster recovery infrastructure layers in containers of a second cloud service provided by a second cloud service provider network coupled to the cloud exchange; obtain code and state from containers of the first cloud service; and communicate the code and state to the disaster recovery infrastructure layers in the containers of the second cloud service.

Abstract: In some examples, a customer churn risk engine is configured to query at least one of co-location data indicating co-location facility usage by a particular co-location facility customer and telemetry data indicating interconnections established between the particular co-location facility customer and at least one additional co-location facility customer within at least one co-location facility operated by a co-location facility provider. The customer churn risk engine is further configured to generate, based at least in part on at least one of the co-location data and the telemetry data, a churn risk score for the particular co-location facility customer. The customer churn risk engine is configured to output the churn risk score for the particular co-location facility customer.
