Abstract: Performing at least one of transmitting a request for an update responsive to at least one of at least two applications executing on a network device via at least one available network connection, wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured for transmitting the request for the update, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured for transmitting a confirmation request requesting the update, via a second network connection, wherein the second network connection is a faster data connection than the first network connection, and downloading the update for the at least two applications via the second network connection.

Abstract: Some examples described herein relate to providing a customized cloud service. In an example, Key Service Indicators (KSI) may be received for a cloud service. The Key Service Indicators may be associated with a cloud service template for providing the cloud service. The resources required for providing the cloud service may be identified based on the Key Service Indicators.

Abstract: Examples relate to distributed detection of malicious cloud actors. In some examples, outgoing cloud packets from the cloud server are intercepted and processed to determine if a preliminary threshold is exceeded, where the outgoing cloud packets are used to identify a customer. At this stage, a potential outgoing intrusion event of a number of potential outgoing intrusion events is generated when the preliminary threshold is exceeded. The potential outgoing intrusions events are used to update an aggregate log, where the aggregate log tracks a customer subset of the cloud servers that is associated with the customer. In response to analyzing the aggregate log to determine that cloud traffic by the customer to the destination address exceeds an intrusion threshold, a notification of malicious activity by the customer is provided, wherein the intrusion threshold is satisfied at a higher cloud activity level than the preliminary threshold.

Abstract: The system and method for structuring self-provisioning workloads deployed in virtualized data centers described herein may provide a scalable architecture that can inject intelligence and embed policies into managed workloads to provision and tune resources allocated to the managed workloads, thereby enhancing workload portability across various cloud and virtualized data centers. In particular, the self-provisioning workloads may have a packaged software stack that includes resource utilization instrumentation to collect utilization metrics from physical resources that a virtualization host allocates to the workload, a resource management policy engine to communicate with the virtualization host to effect tuning the physical resources allocated to the workload, and a mapping that the resource management policy engine references to request tuning the physical resources allocated to the workload from a management domain associated with the virtualization host.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to dynamically generating an aggregation routine. For example, a computing device may include a processor. The processor may receive a data record from a particular service source of a plurality of service sources in communication with the computing device. The data record may relate to usage of the particular service source. The processor may identify at least one field associated with the data record and convert the data record to a standardized record associated with metadata based on the at least one field. The standardized record may have a standardized record format. The processor may dynamically generate an aggregation routine based on the standardized record and the metadata associated with the standardized record. The aggregation routine may be used to calculate usage data associated with the usage of the particular service source.

Abstract: Techniques for managing memory in a multiprocessor architecture are presented. Each processor of the multiprocessor architecture includes its own local memory. When data is to be removed from a particular local memory or written to storage that data is transitioned to another local memory associated with a different processor of the multiprocessor architecture. If the data is then requested from the processor, which originally had the data, then the data is acquired from a local memory of the particular processor that received and now has the data.

Abstract: Service onboarding can include registering an artifact of a service with a control service. Service onboarding can include assigning a credential to a service account associated with a service, wherein the credentials include a limited authorization. Service onboarding can include managing, according to the authorization, a service based on a node attribute definition maintained by an infrastructure automation framework, the framework including a component to call a representational state transfer (REST) application program interface (API) of the control service.

Abstract: In some examples, a service controller provisions an instance of a cloud service in response to receiving a request, where the service controller is provided with content including a call to be issued by the service controller to a compliance/monitoring service that performs a task selected from among monitoring the provisioned instance and determining compliance of the provisioned instance. The service controller issues the call to the compliance/monitoring service, the call including information regarding the provisioned instance, wherein the information is useable by the compliance/monitoring service in performing the task.
