Abstract: Systems and methods for rebalancing storage-oriented workloads across resources of a distributed data storage facility. Communications are initiated between a client computing device and a plurality of storage target devices of a distributed storage system. The distributed storage system comprises one or more computing nodes that can host virtualized controllers. A client computing device interfaced with the distributed storage system uses an IP address to access an initial virtualized controller. Upon detecting a change event, conditions of the computing environment are analyzed to determine rebalancing options. Analysis of the rebalancing options results in identification of an alternative virtualized controller. A redirect message that identifies the alternative virtualized controller is sent to the computing device. The client computing device connects to the alternative virtualized controller.

Abstract: Embodiments provide secure discovery of a first IHS operating within a plurality of IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as within a data center, by a remote management tool. The remote management tool is registered with a DNS (Domain Name System). Upon initializing a first IHS, that first IHS is not automatically recognized by the remote management tool. A remote access controller of the first IHS retrieves information from the registration of the remote management tool from the DNS. The remote access controller notifies the remote management tool of the initialized first IHS. The notification is transmitted, by the remote access controller, to a network address specified in the DNS registration information of the remote management tool. The remote management tool confirms the authenticity of the notification provided by the remote access controller and configures the first IHS for remote management.

Abstract: Techniques are described for scaling resources used by a load balancer service responsive to capacity changes associated with a target group of virtualized computing resources to which the load balancer service distributes application traffic. A load balancer service of a service provider network obtains a resource scaling indication indicating a change in a number of virtualized computing resources in a target group of virtualized computing resources associated with a user of the provider network. The load balancer service determines, based at least in part on the resource scaling indication, a scaling factor indicating a relative increase of the number of the number of virtualized computing resources in the target group. Based on the scaling factor, the load balancer service scales a respective amount of provider network resources available for use by each component of a plurality of components of the load balancer service.

Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for encoding data that is included in electronic communications. In one aspect, a first electronic communication system sends, to an entity, a first email message that includes a Message-ID field including data that identifies an action to be carried out by a second electronic communication system. The first electronic communication system receives, from the entity, a second email message that includes an In-Reply-To field containing the data that identifies the action to be carried out by the second electronic communication system. The first electronic communication extracts the data from the In-Reply-To field in a message header of the first electronic communication. The second electronic communication system may be the same as the first electronic communication system, or may be an electronic communication system other than the first electronic communication system.

Abstract: A network visibility appliance automatically and dynamically determines a data traffic sampling policy that it should apply, i.e., a policy for determining which flows the network appliance should forward to one or more tools. The technique can be used to adjust for changes in network traffic to avoid exceeding performance constraints (e.g., maximum throughput) of network analytic tools, while maintaining high efficiency of usage of the tools. In the technique, a policy engine monitors network traffic characteristics in a subscriber throughput table and dynamically determines a sampling policy to apply, so as to decrease and/or increase traffic throughput to a given tool, so that the tool is efficiently used.

For example, operations such as saving, forwarding, printing, copying, or otherwise duplicating the message and/or message data can be prohibited and all together rendered impossible. The disclosed systems and methods enables the purging of messages and associated message data from a recipient's inbox at a certain specified time, after the passage of a pre-determined amount of time, or upon the detection of a specified event.

Abstract: A method to provide network connectivity to a virtual machine hosted on a server computer system includes detecting a change in a configuration of a software-defined network to which the server computer system provides access; issuing a network configuration update (NCU) for consumption by the virtual machine, the NCU including a data structure reflecting the change in the configuration; and providing a link-state notification (LSN) to a virtual network interface card of the virtual machine pursuant to the change in the configuration, the LSN including data indicating a state of network connectivity of the virtual machine. Receipt of the LSN triggers a dynamic host-configuration protocol (DHCP) handshake by the virtual machine; the NCU is received by the virtual machine pursuant to the DHCP handshake.
