Abstract: A method for to manage concurrent access to a shared resource in a distributed computing environment. A reference counter counts is incremented for every use of an object subtype in a session and decremented for every release of an object subtype in a session. A session counter is incremented upon the first instance of fetching an object type into a session cache and decremented upon having no instances of the object type in use in the session. When both the reference counter and the session counter are zero, the object type may be removed from the cache.

Abstract: Technologies for contention-aware cloud compute scheduling include a number of compute nodes in a cloud computing cluster and a cloud controller. Each compute node collects performance data indicative of cache contention on the compute node, for example, cache misses per thousand instructions. Each compute node determines a contention score as a function of the performance data and stores the contention score in a cloud state database. In response to a request for a new virtual machine, the cloud controller receives contention scores for the compute nodes and selects a compute node based on the contention score. The cloud controller schedules the new virtual machine on the selected compute node. The contention score may include a contention metric and a contention score level indicative of the contention metric. The contention score level may be determined by comparing the contention metric to a number of thresholds. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method for using inventory rules to identify devices of a computer network includes intercepting data traffic across one or more communication links of the computer network. The intercepted data traffic is analyzed to determine whether one or more of a plurality of inventory rules is satisfied by the intercepted data traffic. Each of the plurality of inventory rules comprises one or more conditions indicating the presence of a particular computer network device having a set of parameters. Each one of the plurality of inventory rules has a weighting factor value indicative of a priority of the application of a corresponding rule. The weighting factor value depends on previously identified devices. One or more devices of the computer network are identified using the weighting factor value of the one or more satisfied inventory rules.

Abstract: The present disclosure sets up the foundation of consistency for cloud authorization. Consistency is formalized as univalence and a scheme of inductive types, and consistency pushouts and pullbacks are derived for cloud authorization. Induction schemas are developed for services, repositories and messages. The consistency is characterized as relative consistency, paraconsistency, and three levels of inconsistency. Due to duality of consistency, consistency recovery is constructed with a semantic model and synthetic retry message type families.

The method includes identifying a plurality of network paths in the cloud environment, wherein each network path includes at least two objects deployed in the cloud environment; statistically analyzing each object in each respective network path to determine its reachability properties; analyzing the reachability properties determined for each object to determine if the respective object is reachable through its respective network path from at least a network external to the cloud environment; and saving each object together with its respective network path and reachability properties in a database.

Abstract: After a service receives a request from another service, the service determines an amount of time to process the request by the service as well as a remaining time allotment to complete processing the request (e.g., a timeout value). Based on the remaining time allotment and the amount of time to process the request by at least the service (predicted time or actual time), the service may determine whether to continue processing the request (e.g., by the service and/or one or more subsequent services) or fail the request. In response, the service may then continue processing the request (e.g., continue processing at the service itself or propagate the request to the next service), or the service may fail the request.

Abstract: A first router obtains a first network address of a first local area network (LAN) implemented by a second router and a first subnet mask associated with the first LAN. The first router causes the establishment of a secure communications channel with the second router. The first router determines that a computing device seeks to join the first LAN. The first router obtains an internet protocol (IP) address that has a same network address as the first network address and sends, to the computing device, the IP address and the first subnet mask for use by the computing device.

Abstract: In a running distributed data storage system that actively processes I/Os, metadata nodes are commissioned and decommissioned without taking down the storage system and without introducing interruptions to metadata or payload data I/O. The inflow of reads and writes continues without interruption even while new metadata nodes are in the process of being added and/or removed and the strong consistency of the system is guaranteed. Commissioning and decommissioning nodes within the running system enables streamlined replacement of permanently failed nodes and advantageously enables the system to adapt elastically to workload changes. An illustrative distributed barrier logic (the “view change barrier”) controls a multi-state process that controls a coordinated step-wise progression of the metadata nodes from an old view to a new normal. Rules for I/O handling govern each state until the state machine loop has been traversed and the system reaches its new normal.

Abstract: A cloud-based traffic classification engine maintains a catalog of application-based traffic classes which have been developed based on known applications, and a local traffic classification engine maintains a subset of these classes. Network traffic intercepted by the firewall which cannot be classified by the local engine is forwarded to the cloud-based engine for classification. Upon determination of a class of the traffic, the cloud-based engine forwards the determined class and corresponding signature to the local engine. The firewall maintains a cache which is updated with the signatures corresponding to the class communicated by the cloud-based engine. Subsequent network traffic sent from the application can be determined to correspond to the application and classified according locally at the firewall based on the cached signatures. Localization of the cache to the firewall reduces latency of traffic classification operations as the catalog of classification information stored in the cloud scales.
