Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to wrapping continuation tokens to support paging for multiple servers across different geolocations. An enterprise server may receive a first request for a plurality of records, and the first request for the plurality of records may request a quantity of records exceeding a page size limit. In response to receiving the first request, the enterprise server may retrieve a first set of records comprising a first number of records equal to the page size limit. The enterprise server may generate a first wrapped continuation token comprising location information identifying a geographic location of a first server where a next set of records is to be retrieved. Finally, the enterprise server may send, to the client device, the first set of records and the first wrapped continuation token, which may cause the client device to process the first set of records.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interfaces to manage inter-regional connectivity for direct network peerings. A system may include a connectivity coordinator, a first resource collection in a first geographical zone and a second resource collection in a second geographical zone. The coordinator implements a programmatic interface defining connectivity operations. The coordinator receives a request via the interface to establish a logically isolated network path to the second resource collection on behalf of a client that has a dedicated physical link set up to connect to the first resource collection. In response to the request, the coordinator performs one or more configuration operations to enable traffic to flow from the client's network to the second resource collection over a logically isolated network path using the dedicated physical link.

Messages received from the first device to another electronic device in the set are sent to the other device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for integration of multiple technical architecture diagrams into a single diagram. Architectural diagrams are commonly used in program level impact analysis and may depict relationships, constraints, and boundaries between components of an individual software program as well as the relationships between multiple software programs, hardware components, and users. The present invention automatically identifies touchpoints, or connections between multiple architecture diagrams and applies a series of image-processing algorithms, generating a single integrated diagram for organizational use. Embodiments of the invention also provide for multiple rounds of image processing, allowing multiple integrated diagrams to be combined into single diagrams.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an RPC-less locking mechanism based on RDMA CAW for a storage cluster with an active-active architecture. The techniques include, in response to receipt at a storage node of a lock request for accessing an LBA of a storage object, synchronizing, between the storage node and a remote node, a state of a lock for the LBA. The synchronizing of the lock state includes locating an ALS object having a field containing the LBA, updating a field of the ALS object to include the storage node, and setting a field of the ALS object to a type of lock specified in the lock request. If the storage node locates the ALS object in an array maintained within visible memory on the remote node, then the storage node updates/sets corresponding fields of the ALS object by performing atomic CAW operations supported by an RDMA channel between the respective nodes.
