A response to the query is then provided based on the properties of the devices.

Abstract: A data container for a content package comprising one or more semantics for populating the content package with selected types of information associated with a product or service is received by a computing device of a digital services framework. An organizational structure between and within networked tenants of the digital services framework is analyzed to identify one or more recipients for the content package.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device classification service obtains telemetry data for a plurality of devices in a network. The device classification service repeatedly assigns the devices to device clusters by applying clustering to the obtained telemetry data. The device classification service determines a measure of stability loss associated with the cluster assignments. The measure of stability loss is based in part on whether a device is repeatedly assigned to the same device cluster. The device classification service determines, based on the measure of stability loss, that the cluster assignments have stabilized. The device classification service obtains device type labels for the device clusters, after determining that the cluster assignments have stabilized.

Abstract: Platform-agnostic model source code may refer to a file that includes platform-agnostic notations and source code according to a programming language. The source code may lack explicit references to specific computing resource service providers. The platform-agnostic model source code may be parsed to determine a set of computing resources of a computing resource service provider to provision. The set of computing resources may be provisioned and exposed via an endpoint. The platform-agnostic notations may be used to determine addition source code according to the programming language that can be used to access the set of computing resources. A runtime (e.g., software application) may be generated from the source code and the additional source code such that the execution of the runtime utilizes at least a portion of the set of computing resources.
