Abstract: Examples herein relate to developing an orchestration plan. Examples disclose the development of a representation of a set of services wherein each service relates to other services via different types of relationships. The examples apply a set of dependency rules for each type of relationship at each service within the set of services such that the application of the set of dependency rules creates inter-service dependencies between state transitions of the set of services. Based on the creation of the inter-service dependencies, the orchestration plan is developed which includes a sequenced order of the state transitions for the set of services.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for deploying edge forwarding elements in a public or private software defined datacenter (SDDC). For an entity, the method deploys a default first edge forwarding element to process data message flows between machines of the entity in a first network of the SDDC and machines external to the first network of the SDDC. The method subsequently receives a request to allocate more bandwidth to a first set of the data message flows entering or exiting the first network of the SDDC. In response, the method deploys a second edge forwarding element to process the first set of data message flows of the entity in order to allocate more bandwidth to the first set of the data message flows, while continuing to process a second set of data message flows of the entity through the default first edge node.

Abstract: Examples provide a network-utilization based scheduler that considers network utilization when load balancing virtual computing instances (VCIs) in a cluster. The scheduler also periodically evaluates proposed migrations based on a current cluster snapshot including network utilization data of the hosts. Proposed migrations are removed and/or prioritized to prevent network saturation in the cluster.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device constructs a set of controlled what-if input parameters for evaluating a what-if scenario in a network. The device uses the set of controlled what-if input parameters and state data indicative of a current state of the network as input to a network state model. The network state model predicts values for the state data conditioned on the what-if input parameters. The device predicts a key performance indicator (KPI) in the network by using the predicted values for the state data from the network state model as input to a machine learning-based KPI prediction model. The device initiates a routing change in the network based in part on the predicted KPI.

Abstract: A disclosure for management of multiple information management cells running different versions of software applications using a gateway system is provided herein. The disclosure addresses the drawbacks associated with the current environment of managing multiple information management cells through a separate URL by centralizing the user interfaces (UI) to a single front-end administrative UI that is specific to the version of software application operating on that cell. The gateway system comprises a mapping module, a storage module, a UI module, and a communication module that interoperate to retrieve the version of a software application operating on the targeted cell, the UI running that version of software application, and presenting a user interface that can view and manage the operations of that targeted cell. The gateway system serves the UI specific for the version of software application for that cell from its local collection.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium receives, from a client compute device and at a multi-tenant computer system, a service request that includes an authentication token provided by a third-party compute device and that identifies a single-tenant account (1) of the multi-tenant computer system and (2) associated with the client compute device. The medium sends an information request for first information associated with the service request to the third-party compute device. The medium receives the first information from the third-party compute device in response to the information request. The medium processes the service request based on the first information to produce a service result responsive to the service request. The medium sends the service result to the client compute device.

Abstract: A virtual network verification service for provider networks that leverages a declarative logic programming language to allow clients to pose queries about their virtual networks as constraint problems; the queries may be resolved using a constraint solver engine. Semantics and logic for networking primitives of virtual networks in the provider network environment may be encoded as a set of rules according to the logic programming language; networking security standards and/or client-defined rules may also be encoded in the rules. A description of a virtual network may be obtained and encoded. A constraint problem expressed by a query may then be resolved for the encoded description according to the encoded rules using the constraint solver engine; the results may be provided to the client.

Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods for coordinating automated, real-time data sharing and updating between participants using disparate data formats for information transfer include a messaging interface for receiving message initiation requests including messaging data from regionally-distributed computing devices. The message initiation requests may be queued as queuing data in a global message queue. Updates may be made to the queuing data indicating a status of the message initiation requests based on reply messages received from message recipients. A message transmission system may transform the messaging data into a generic data object that is agnostic to messaging formats of a sending computing system and a receiving computing system. The generic data object may be mapped to a message format associated with the receiving computing system.
