Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for providing software services to one or more consumer systems. A cloud service provider system accesses a software service build comprising a first feature and a first feature toggle for selectively enabling or disabling the first feature. The cloud service provider system configures the first feature toggle of the software service build to disable the first feature and deploys the software service build to a first environment accessible by a first consumer system. A toggle routine determines that a first toggle condition for the first feature has occurred and modifies the software service build deployed at the first environment to configure the first feature toggle to enable the first feature.

Abstract: A file is enabled to be downloaded from a web server on behalf of a client browser, via an isolated browser of an RBI server. An isolated browser engine detects the file download and notifies an isolated browser controller. The isolated browser controller determines whether the file download is permitted. Responsive to determining that the file download is not permitted, the file is deleted at the RBI server and a policy event is transmitted to the client browser. Responsive to determining that the file download is permitted, the file is transmitted to the client browser. The file may be streamed to the client browser, or it may be published via an independent web server and a notification is transmitted to the client browser. The client browser is controlled to issue a request to the independent web server to download the file to the client browser.

Abstract: The disclosed system remotely tests performance of a wireless telecommunication network. The system sends an instruction to a device to interact with the wireless telecommunication network. The system can obtain a log generated by a wireless communication chip of the mobile device, where the log indicates attributes of the communication using the wireless telecommunication network, such as a frequency and a signal strength associated with the frequency. Based on the log generated by the wireless communication chip of the mobile device, the system can determine the performance of the wireless telecommunication network without obtaining a second log generated by a second device, such as an eNodeB, involved in enabling the communication through the wireless telecommunication network. Upon determining that the performance of the wireless telecommunication network is below a predetermined threshold, the system can send a notification indicating the problematic performance.
