Abstract: In one embodiment, a delegation engine automatically provisions a device connected to a network to securely identify and interact with external services. As a device boots in a deployment environment, the delegation engine generates a search domain name based on a manufacturer-supplied domain name and a domain name associated with the deployment environment. The delegation engine then searches a Domain Name System (DNS) to retrieve a delegation record stored at the search domain name. After verifying a manufacturer signature associated with the delegation record, the delegation engine configures the device based on service discovery information included in the delegation record. Because the delegation engine automates the provisioning process, the time required to provision devices is acceptable irrespective of the number of the devices. Further, because the delegation engine verifies the delegation record, the delegation engine does not expose the device to security risks during the provisioning process.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for enabling network functions to be executed in serverless computing environments. One embodiment employs a per-packet architecture, in which the trigger for launching a serverless computing instance is receipt of a packet. In such a case, each received packet is packaged into a request to invoke network function(s) required to process the packet, and a serverless computing environment in turn executes the requested network function(s) as serverless computing instance(s) that process the packet and return a response. Another embodiment employs a per-flow architecture in which the trigger for launching a serverless computing instance is receipt of a packet belonging to a new traffic flow. In such a case, a coordinator identifies (or receives notification of) a received packet that belongs to a new sub-flow and launches a serverless computing instance to process packets of the sub-flow that are redirected to the serverless computing instance.

Abstract: A system and method for providing network and port address translation is provided. A global IP address and a block (chunk) of ports are allocated for each mobile subscriber (MS) on first data connection. Subsequent data connections from the same MS are assigned the same IP address and a new port from this block.

This process reduces processing, communication, and storage requirements.

Abstract: Techniques for cooperative preemption of resources in a distributed multi-tenant resource pool are described. A query execution service manages the allocation of computing resources in a provider network by identifying computing nodes in the provider network to preempt. The service causes the computing nodes to be removed from further executing tasks as part of processing their queries in a first group of nodes in the provider network while other computing nodes in the first group continue to execute tasks as part of processing the queries. The service then adds the first computing node into a second group of nodes in the provider network to execute tasks as part of processing other queries in the provider network.
