Abstract: An apparatus includes a multi-tenant computer system including a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The apparatus receives a first service request from a first compute device and a second service request from a second compute device. Data values of the first service request are not accessible by the second compute device and data values of the second request are not accessible by the first compute device. The apparatus merges the data values of the first service request and the data values of the second service request and filters the results based on a set of rules not accessible to the second compute device to produce a first filtered result responsive to the second service request. The apparatus also filters the results based on a set of rules not accessible to the first compute device to produce a second filtered result responsive to the first service request.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for determining reorder commands for remote reordering of policy rules. A device management system comprising a memory, a processor, and an interface may be configured to perform the techniques. A memory may store a currently configured policy for a managed network device and an updated policy for the managed device. The processor may determine a longest increasing subsequence (LIS) between a source list comprising the plurality of policy rules in a first ordering and a destination list of the plurality of policy rules in a second ordering. The processor may generate, based on the LIS, one or more policy configuration commands for the managed network device that direct the managed network device to conform the currently configured policy to the updated policy. The interface may output the one or more policy configuration commands to the managed network device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method instantiates a proxy that stores first state information for first workloads running on a first computing device. The first computing device receives a migrated workload from a second computing device and second state information for a session associated with the migrated workload. The second state information is generated by a proxy on the second computing device that processed one or more packets for the migrated workload on the second computing device. The method stories the second state information for the proxy on the first computing device and resumes the session associated with the migrated workload using the proxy on the first computing device.

Abstract: An information exchange platform referred to as a Trading Grid (TG) may perform relationship-based data processing utilizing a trading partner (TP) graph that describes relationships amongst operating units (OUs) on the TG. When the TG receives a request from an OU to exchange data with a TP, the TG accesses the TP graph and determines a relationship between the OU and their TP as reflected in the TP graph. The TP graph is maintained and controlled by the system independently of the OU and the TP. The TG may route the data based on instructions associated with the relationship that is reflected in the TP graph. The instructions associated with the relationship may specify network based services provided by the TG. An orchestration component may operate to orchestrate the performance of the network based services. The TG then communicates the processed and/or produced data to the TP.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to machine learning based analysis of electronic communications. A computing platform may monitor receipt of a potentially unacceptable electronic communication by a user. Then, the computing platform may extract one or more attributes of the potentially unacceptable electronic communication. The computing platform may then perform, based on the one or more attributes, textual analysis of the potentially unacceptable electronic communication. Subsequently, the computing platform may retrieve one or more rules applicable to the potentially unacceptable electronic communication. Then, the computing platform may determine, based on the textual analysis and the one or more rules, and based on a repository of previously identified unacceptable content, whether the potentially unacceptable electronic communication is unacceptable.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing multiple namespace support to application(s) in containers under Kubernetes without breaking containment boundaries or escalating privileges of the application(s).

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for integrating external sensors to an edge device, such as for ingesting data into a data intake and query system. The edge device has an internal message broker for communicating with internal (e.g., preconfigured, recognized) sensors, and an external message broker for communicating with external (e.g., customer-configured, otherwise unrecognized) sensors. The external message broker provides access to customer configuration of external sensors, but is logically quarantined from the internal message broker to prevent unwanted customer access to internal configurations. The internal and external message brokers interface only via a bridging service that transforms external sensor data into data based on customer-configurable transformations. The transformed data can be handled by the edge device and/or downstream components (e.g., a data intake and query system) in the same manner as internal sensor data.
