Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to identifying a set of service events corresponding to an incident report, querying a multiple-layer relational graph to determine one or more other service events related to the set of service events, detecting a pattern in the set of service events and a subset of the one or more other service events, and indicating, via a user interface and based on the incident report, the subset of the one or more other service events as related to the incident report.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a client application for streaming media. The client application estimates the bandwidth of the client and the latency between the client and a media distribution service. A bit rate for a media stream is determined using the latency, a buffer state, and the estimated bandwidth. A time to send the request is determined using the estimated bandwidth and latency.

Abstract: A content score value is assigned to a text message for content categories. Context data values relating to the text message and to context categories are collected. A context score value for each context category is determined by comparing the context data values with context data threshold values. A content score value for each content category is determined by comparing the content data values with content data threshold values. A difference factor value is calculated as a square root of a summation over differences between the context score values and the content score values. If the difference factor value is determined to exceed a specified difference factor threshold value, then a confirmation is requested and received. The text message is sent by electronic mail to a receiving address.

In a network, a destination with an initial offering having a set of initial offering attributes is provided. A first virtual network function is connected to the destination that is capable of advertising the initial offering. A source having a set of need attributes defined by a user is also provided. The initial offering is advertised, and the source is connected to the first virtual network function. A second virtual network function with an added value is added and a modified offering having a set of modified attributes based on the set of initial offering attributes and the added value is created. The initial offering and the modified offering is advertised to the source.

Abstract: A network event remediation service receives event logs from network computing devices to identify issues associated with these network computing devices. Based on these issues, the service generates various tasks to address the identified issues. The service obtains historical task data in order to determine whether any tasks do not comport with historical tasks performed by the network computing devices and removing such tasks. The service obtains health data from the network computing devices to calculate device scores for each device. The service uses the device scores to prioritize the tasks for each network computing device. These tasks are then dispatched to the network computing devices.

Abstract: A service provider system may provision virtualized computing resources to implement a virtual desktop instance. An interactivity agent installed on the virtual desktop instance may collect data representing interactions between a user and various input devices (e.g. a keyboard or mouse) that are associated with the execution of various desktop applications, and may provide the interactivity data to a desktop application preferences service implemented in the service provider system. The desktop application preferences service may, based on the interactivity data, characterize the usage of the desktop applications and their targets (e.g., documents) to determine which applications and targets are likely to be used during subsequent virtual desktop sessions (e.g., those used most or most recently).

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a network node for performing video on demand equalization. Upon receiving downlink traffic to be transmitted to one or more terminal devices, the network node detects a VOD stream from the downlink traffic. The network node determines the number of VOD streams handled by the cell and a first traffic load and compares the number of the VOD streams and the first traffic load to a first and a second threshold. In response to the number of the VOD streams being above the first threshold or the first traffic load being above the second threshold, the network node selects a terminal device associated with one of the VOD streams, selects a target cell from available cells and schedules the terminal device to use the target cell for said one of the VOD streams.

By parsing and processing all the received information, the CDN service provider may select components of a CDN network reflective of the additional request routing information.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for dynamic communication protocol control in a communication environment. For example, a request is sent by a given processing node of a plurality of processing nodes to a computing system. Each of the plurality of processing nodes is operatively coupled to the computing system. Each of at least a subset of the plurality of processing nodes is configured to communicate via at least a first communication protocol with which each of the subset of the plurality of processing nodes share bandwidth. The request seeks usage of a given amount of additional bandwidth associated with the first communication protocol by the given processing node from one or more of the subset of processing nodes. One or more of the subset of processing nodes can then decide to cede the additional bandwidth to the given processing node and convert to using another communication protocol.
