Abstract: The present disclosure relate to allocating electronic resources. In some arrangements, a server configures allocable electronic resources for a live streaming room in response to receiving a first configuration request from a first client. The first configuration request is configured to indicate a first configuration operation performed by an anchor to the live streaming room, and the allocable electronic resources are associated to a target commodity corresponding to the live streaming room. The server acquires an allocation request sent by a second client, wherein the allocation request is triggered by an interactive operation of an audience of the second client in the live streaming room. The server allocates an electronic resource from the allocable electronic resources to the audience of the second client, in response to the allocation request, wherein the allocated electronic resource is used by the audience for completing an order operation about the target commodity.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards managing accounts for connecting applications to (e.g., third party) cloud storage providers. Various types of cloud storage providers and different accounts, e.g. corresponding to different usage scenarios with properties such as regions, storage tier levels, costs and so forth, are available to user applications. In one implementation, a user application provides desired account properties to a cloud credential manager via a REST API call to obtain the account information for an account, including credentials, configuration data and the like, returned in in a REST API response. The described technology facilitates selection of an account by the cloud credential manager based on matching the specified properties. Load balancing and storage costs can also be factors in the selection, and random selection is also available.

The overlay network can provide, via the message bus, the container image to the second cloud network for creating a container based upon the container image.

Abstract: A network node receives a data packet. In response to receiving the data packet, the network node performs a lookup on a label stack of the data packet to determine a next hop for the data packet. The network node scans the label stack to identify a Structured Entropy Label (SEL). The SEL includes a Path Tracing Indicator (PTI). The network node computes Midpoint Compressed Data (MCD) as a result of the PTI being set to a pre-defined value. The network node records the MCD in a MCD stack of the data packet by shifting the MCD stack and stamping the MCD on top of the MCD stack. The network node transmits the data packet to the next hop with the recorded MCD stack. The network sink node encapsulates the received data packet to generate an encapsulated data packet and transmits the data packet.

Abstract: Stream-based data deduplication is provided in a multi-tenant shared infrastructure but without requiring “paired” endpoints having synchronized data dictionaries. Data objects processed by the dedupe functionality are treated as objects that can be fetched as needed. As such, a decoding peer does not need to maintain a symmetric library for the origin. Rather, if the peer does not have the chunks in cache that it needs, it follows a conventional content delivery network procedure to retrieve them. In this way, if dictionaries between pairs of sending and receiving peers are out-of-sync, relevant sections are then re-synchronized on-demand. The approach does not require that libraries maintained at a particular pair of sender and receiving peers are the same. Rather, the technique enables a peer, in effect, to “backfill” its dictionary on-the-fly. On-the-wire compression techniques are provided to reduce the amount of data transmitted between the peers.
