  • Patent number: 11457004
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for managing the deployment of application programming interfaces (APIs) within a hybrid cloud network architecture. APIs can be created for applications or services deployed to a hybrid cloud including public clouds and/or private clouds. The APIs are deployed to API gateways associated with each data center in the network. The network is conceptually divided into spaces, where each space corresponds to a set of API gateways deployed within designated geographical regions. The API gateways are mapped to the network locations for the API gateways by interacting with Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. API calls use the domain names as included in the DNS records to resolve the API call as being directed to a specific API gateway corresponding to the service for the API call.

  • Patent number: 11100122
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing a search over hierarchical data are provided. The method may be performed by a server comprising a processor and memory. The method includes receiving a query string from a user device. The query string is searched for via a tensor search of a graph structure to determine node tensor distance score for each node in the graph structure. The query string is searched for via a fuzzy search of the graph structure to determine node fuzzy distance score for each node in the graph structure. Nodes with relevant scores are determined by updating a Bayesian network representation with evidence based on the node tensor distance scores and the node fuzzy distance scores of each node. Relevant data from the nodes is sent with relevant scores to the user device.
