  • Patent number: 10979352
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a selection of a logical router in the first computing device in a first site of a plurality of sites as a preferred egress point to an external network for the logical router. The logical router is instantiated on computing devices in the plurality of sites and a single site in the sites is the preferred egress point for the logical router. The method stores identification information for the logical router in a routing table that stores identification information for multiple logical routers. The identification information is unique among multiple logical routers. The method advertises via a routing instance in a control plane to other computing devices in other sites the identification information for the logical router to indicate the logical router in the first computing device in the first site is the preferred egress point.

  • Patent number: 10931508
    Abstract: An example framework and method facilitate instrumentation and management of computing environment resources, wherein the resources are distributed across various servers of the computing environment. The example framework employs a distributed synchronized tree or registry of information describing servers (e.g., MBean servers) and associated resources (e.g., as may be represented by MBeans) of the computing environment. A replica of the tree is maintained by each server. The tree facilitates peer-to-peer networking between participating servers for the purposes of discovering and sharing access to software management functionality (e.g., as may be provided via MBeans) offered thereby, and obviates reliance upon a centralized management server or network node to provide management functionality for all participating computing resources that may be distributed across servers of the network.

  • Patent number: 10911302
    Abstract: An operator node is configured to enable the management of nodes communicatively coupled to the operator node via a network. A selection of node objects is received by the operator node, the selected node objects including software components for inclusion within a node configuration. A configuration policy is generated based on the selected objects, the configuration policy including a set of tests (such as scripts or executables) that, when run, test for the presence of one or more of the selected node objects. A target node is scanned to determine the configuration of the target node, and the set of tests are applied to identify a set of objects identified by the policy but not installed at the target node. The target node is then re-configured to install the identified set of objects at the target node.

  • Patent number: 10867209
    Abstract: Systems and methods for combining two or more outputs of two or more data processing services. A method embodiment commences upon receiving an event indication and a content item from a cloud-based collaboration platform. The method analyzes the event and the content item to determine two or more data processing services to apply to the content item. The method further determines a common metric to use to correlate two or more different outputs from the two or more data processing services. The method invokes both of the two or more data processing services, which in turn each generate respective outputs. Metadata that relates the respective outputs based on the common metric as well as the outputs themselves are stored for retrieval by the cloud-based collaboration platform. A query is executed to retrieve at least portions of the respective outputs and corresponding metadata. The retrieved data is correlated in a display.
