Abstract: Techniques for processing application data are described. The techniques include transmitting packets of application data to a data management server. The data management server maintains rules that dictate where the packets go as well as what actions are taken in response to the packets. Based on the rules, the data management server transmits the packets to destinations that may perform various actions. The actions performed by destinations may include logging data received from the applications, or performing other actions such as notifying an administrator or other entity of a particular event, or the like. The described architecture decouples functions such as logging, notification, and the like from the applications for which they are performed, which provides benefits such as improved scalability, as well as removing the need for application developers to build such functionality directly into the applications.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device accesses a social graph comprising nodes and edges connecting the nodes. Each of the edges between two of the nodes represents a single degree of separation between them. The nodes include user nodes corresponding to users of an online social network, and concept nodes corresponding to places. A particular place corresponds to a particular concept node, and corresponds to an associated location and a perimeter. A number of check-ins are received, each check-in being associated with the particular place and having a geographic location. Each check-in corresponds to an edge of the social graph between a user node and the particular concept node. Based on the received check-ins the computing device determines whether to update the associated location and the perimeter.

Abstract: A common vendor application that can be called from multiple vendor applications is loaded onto a communication device. When the common vendor application is called from an application provided by a vendor, the common vendor application sends a request to access vendor configuration information to a common vendor server. The request includes a vendor identifier that uniquely identifies the vendor. In response to receiving the request to access the vendor configuration information, the common vendor server identifies vendor configuration information for the vendor. The vendor configuration information is sent the common vendor application on the communication device. The common vendor application uses the vendor configuration information to customize the common vendor application specific to the vendor. This allows multiple vendors to use the same common vendor application, but to have a common look-and-feel. It also reduces the number of applications necessary to support multiple vendors.

Abstract: Task-based data transmission comprises, at a user end, sending a data synchronization request related to a task to a server end, wherein the data synchronization request comprises information about the task and a data synchronization strategy corresponding to the task, and receiving data corresponding to the data synchronization request that is returned by the server end. At the server end, a data synchronization request related to a task can be received by a requesting end. Data corresponding to the data synchronization request is determined, and then the requested corresponding data can be returned to the requesting end. Data related to a task currently to be done by a user is acquired from a server end by using a task-related data synchronization request, so that the user can quickly and flexibly virtualize a working environment of the user related to the task.

Abstract: A resource stack managed by a resource stack provider is created based on a resource stack template that integrates a custom resource from a second provider into the resource stack using a notification system with the second provider. For example, a customer may create a template that defines a resource stack that comprises resources available from the resource stack provider and one or more custom resources provided by a second provider. When a resource stack is created, resources available from the resource stack provider may be provisioned. Custom resources may be initialized by notifying the provider of the custom resource of the requested integration of the custom resource with the resource stack and requested configuration details. The custom resource provider may respond with an indication of successful integration when the custom resource has been successfully initialized. After initializing the resources, the resource stack may be enabled for use.

A storage management system associates a first client device to the client configuration profile; and communicates the set of properties of the client configuration profile to property tables of corresponding objects in the first client device.

Abstract: Techniques are described for managing compute and storage resources in a container-based, multi-tenant, computing infrastructure. In some implementations, a plurality of containers may each execute an instance of a software framework. Each container may include compute capacity and storage capacity according to the executed framework. Containers may be allocated among clusters in a multi-tenant, cloud-based computing environment based on measured demand for compute capacity and/or storage capacity in the various clusters. In some implementations, a scheduler (e.g., a Level 2 scheduler, or a scheduler of schedulers) determines whether to move compute containers between clusters within a multi-tenant environment, to provide performance improvements, resource utilization efficiency, and cost reduction within the data center, and to satisfy tenant requests for compute and/or storage resources.
