  • Patent number: 11895032
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method determines when a packet is fragmented into multiple fragmented packets in a flow between a first workload and a second workload. The method switches from generating an outer source port in the outer header using layer 4 information from the inner header to using layer 3 information from the inner header. A fragmented packet is encapsulated with the outer header that includes an outer source port value that is generated using the layer 3 information. The method initiates a process to determine when to switch back to using layer 4 information from the inner header to generate the outer source port. When it is determined to switch back to using layer 4 information, the method switches back to using layer 4 information from the inner header to generate the source port in the outer header of a packet from the first workload.

  • Patent number: 11888926
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that automatically scale an application between private and public cloud computing platforms, while simultaneous enforcing policies ensuring private data is persistently stored on the private cloud computing platform, but not the public cloud computing platform. A traffic manager on the public platform routes traffic to instances of a web app executing on a private platform. A traffic monitor on the private platform monitors performance criteria of the private platform, and reports traffic telemetry to the traffic manager. Based on the traffic telemetry, the traffic manager may instantiate one or more instances of the web app on the public platform to handle traffic. Private data gathered by such instantiated instance(s) is persisted to storage in the private platform, but not in the public platform.

  • Patent number: 11843664
    Abstract: A system performs continuous delivery of a data pipeline on a cloud platform. The system receives a specification of the data pipeline comprising data pipeline units. The system generates a deployment package for each data pipeline unit for a cloud platform. The system provisions computing infrastructure on the cloud platform according to the system configuration of the data pipeline unit. The data pipeline may be implemented as a data mesh. The data pipeline generates one or more data models. The system receives a schema representing a modification in a data model based on a change in the requirements of a consumer system. The system determines the changes to the data pipeline based on the received schema and reconfigures the data pipeline to generate the modified data model. The system manages access control of data to minimize the exposure to data in case of accidental or malicious data breach.

  • Patent number: 11836034
    Abstract: The present disclosure is to determine a probable root cause of a performance issue. For example, a method can include processing, using a processor, a set of calls for a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) transaction wherein individual calls of the set of calls have a set of parameters; and identifying, using the processor, that the HTTP transaction has a performance issue that falls below a predetermined level of a performance metric. Further steps can include separating, using the processor, the set of calls into a first group with the performance issue and a second group without the performance issue; discovering, using the processor, a common subset of parameters among the first group; and determining that the common subset of parameters is a probable root cause of the performance issue if the common subset of parameters is not found in the second group.

  • Patent number: 11831617
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a proxy device, a document from a service provider in response to a request to the service provider from a client device. The proxy device injects into the document event monitoring code for monitoring user actions on the client device. The proxy device sends the document with the event monitoring code to the client device. The event monitoring code intercepts a user request for a file upload event using a client-side application on the client device. The proxy device receives a client request including file information regarding the file upload event from the event monitoring code. The proxy device determines whether the file upload event should be allowed or blocked based on the received file information and stored policy data.
