Abstract: A system manages information about, and used in services provided to, a network device belonging to a customer. The system creates a first customer tenant in a tenant management service of a tenant for a first customer, registers identification information about a network device belonging to the first customer to the first customer tenant, and issues registration completion to a service system that provides the services. The system receives a registration request, creates a second customer tenant managing a network device belonging to a second customer, and registers identification information about the network device to the second customer tenant. The system causes the tenant management service to register a new tenant for the network device that transmitted the registration request and identification information about the transmitting network device, and issues a completion event to the service system in response to a notifying reply, from the tenant management service, indicating completion.

An example method may commence with ascertaining a set of the customer nodes eligible for delegation of the one or more tasks. The method may continue with deploying one or more control agents to the eligible set of the customer nodes. The one or more control agents may be configured to coordinate and execute the one or more tasks on the eligible set of customer nodes and selectively take one or more actions based on results of the execution of the one or more tasks.

Abstract: A method is provided which enables industrial communication via the TSN protocol by means of sockets. Owing to the described method, the possibility of communicating with the socket programming known to the programmer via TSN streams is provided. As a result, simple use of the new TSN quality for simple Internet (IP) programming is possible.

Abstract: An update basis for updating digital content in a digital medium environment is described. The digital content is updated by incorporating new digital content components from a service provider system, such as a stock content service, to keep the digital content from seeming stale to client device users. The service provider system controls provision of digital content components according to an update basis described in a component request. In part, component requests ask that the service provider system provide digital content components for incorporation with digital content. Component requests also describe a timing basis with which digital content components are to be provided as updates. By way of example, the timing basis may correspond to a time interval (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally, times of day, and so on), receiving user input in relation to the digital content (e.g., a navigation input to a web page), and so forth.

The T-ADS information comprises a first wireless device Internet protocol (IP) address and a first network name of a first radio access technology (RAT) for the IMS session. The T-ADS information comprises a second wireless device IP address and a second network name of a second RAT. A determination is made of an access network for the IMS session based on the T-ADS information. The access network is one of the first RAT or the second RAT. An IMS message to setup the IMS session over the access network is sent to the wireless device.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device health assessment service extracts device health status indicators from health assessment data that the service uses to determine a device health status of a networking device. The service forms, using the extracted set of device health status indicators, a health status signature for a particular device health status. The service trains a machine learning-based model to classify whether a networking device has the particular device health status, based in part on the health status signature. The service deploys the machine learning-based model to a target network for local device health assessment of one or more networking devices in the target network.
