Abstract: A system performs efficient domain name system (DNS) based global server load balancing. The system regularly monitors server health of servers that process requests directed to virtual servers. The update server health information is used to process DNS queries that request assignment of servers for processing requests directed to virtual servers. The system maintains metadata describing servers based on user requests associated with virtual servers. The system updates information stored in a database based on requests associated with a virtual server, for example, create, update, or delete information describing a virtual server. The system propagates the updated information to a plurality of data plane clusters. The system receives DNS queries and answers them based on the updated information describing the servers.

Abstract: Various arrangements for autonomous servicing of a network device are presented. A backend server system may receive status data from various devices. The backend server system may determine, based at least in part on the received status data, a triggering event associated with a first device. In response to the determined triggering event, location information associated with the first device may be sent to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV may send security information directly to the first device. The first device may be required to validate the security device, then the UAV may modify a physical component of the first device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for an improved method of network function interaction. In order for a network function consumer to interact with a network function producer, the network function consumer utilizes a default query-based discovery process, wherein a component such as a network resource function identifies candidate network function producers. A secondary static configuration is created for use if the primary query-based process is unavailable. Based on a determination that the primary query-based process is unavailable, the network function consumer identifies a network function producer from the static configuration and communicates one or more service requests to the network function producer. Once it is determined that primary query-based discovery is available, the network function consumer reverts to the query-based discovery process for subsequent network function interactions.
