Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for enabling discovery of a service-providing NF in a 3GPP communication network. A method is performed by a Network Repository Function. The method comprises registering locality information of service-providing NFs according to locality attribute of each service-providing NF. Each locality attribute comprises structured values of location information of its service-providing NF. The method comprises obtaining a request from a service-requesting NF for one of the service-providing NFs. The request specifies a preferred locality of the requested service-providing NF. The preferred locality indicates, in terms of structured values of location information, geographical location where the service-requesting NF is deployed.

Abstract: A virtual network function (VNF) controller (or module) instantiates two or more VNFs in a communication network to support a network service where the two or more VNFs include at least a first VNF and a second VNF. The VNF controller assigns a priority value to each VNF base on an overall network impact, a physical location of at least one network resource allocated to the respective VNF, a type of service to be implemented by the respective VNF and a customer impact based on how many customers would be using the respective VNF. The VNF controller monitors network resources allocated to each VNF. The VNF controller further determines the first VNF requires additional network resources and releases the network resources allocated to the second VNF based on respective priority values. The VNF controller further allocates the network resources released by the second VNF to the first VNF.

Abstract: A method obtains service request information identifying computing device nodes invoked by users. Based on the service request information, sets of computing device nodes are identified, each set of computing device nodes includes computing device nodes invoked simultaneously or sequentially by one of the users. Communities are further identified based on a probability measure that is a measure of a probability of co-occurrence of two sets of computing device nodes. Each community has sets of computing device nodes each having the probability measure over a probability threshold in relation to at least one other set of computing device nodes in the community. Solutions are predicted for provision of services of the sets of computing device nodes of the communities. Each predicted solution for provision of services relates to a community and is determined based on shared knowledge of predicted solutions for provision of services relating to other communities.

Abstract: A storage gateway serves as an interface between processes on a customer network and a service provider. The storage gateway is located on-premise with the customer processes. To customer processes, it appears that data is stored locally. However, the storage gateway interfaces with a remote storage service to store the data. For cached gateways, the primary data store is a remote data store, while frequently accessed data may be locally cached by the gateway. Reads may be satisfied from the local cache or from virtual data storage; writes are handled so as to appropriately update data blocks in the local cache and/or in virtual data storage. For shadowing gateways, the primary data store is the local data store; reads are passed through to a local data store, and writes are shadowed to virtual data storage as well as being sent to local data store.
