Abstract: A method includes obtaining a first service requirement related to a first device; determining, based on the first service requirement, a first host core model and at least one component hooked to the first host core model; generating a first packet based on the host core model and the at least one component; and configuring the first device based on the first packet. Because a configuration apparatus can run independently of a device that is in a service requirement, configuration can be completed on the device based on the service requirement when a service of the device is not broken. Difficulty in configuration can be effectively reduced by hooking the component to the host core model.

Abstract: Techniques for HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) POST method request translation are described. A router of a Content Distribution Network (CDN) receives an HTTP POST method request seeking to obtain a resource and sends the request to a request translation engine. The request translation engine, based on the request, generates a corresponding HTTP GET method request and sends it back to the router, which obtains a response object from an origin server or from one or more levels of cache implemented by the CDN. The response object is passed back via a response message to the router, which sends the response message back to the request translation engine. The request translation engine, in turn, sends the response message back to the router, which sends the response message back to the originating client.

Abstract: Online restore may be performed between databases with different topologies while applying a custom data distribution. A request to restore a database into a different topology of nodes may be received. A plan to move different portions of the database from a current topology to the new topology made using a general distribution scheme. The plan may be performed to move the different portions of the database into the new topology and the database made available for access using the new topology. A background process may be applied to modify the distribution of the database at the new topology to match a custom distribution scheme that was implemented at the current topology.

Abstract: An internet-of-things (IoT) distribution hub enables delivery of formatted IoT data to any of multiple hosting platforms as dynamically configurable by an IoT device owner. A service node in a distributed network provides, to an IoT device, a device key for accessing an IoT distribution network. The service node receives a selection of a hosting platform for the IoT device, wherein the selected hosting platform is one from a group of available hosting platforms available through the IoT distribution network. The service node maps the IoT device to a virtual device proxy for the selected hosting platform and receives a request from the IoT device to forward IoT data. The request includes the device key. The service node forwards the IoT data to the selected hosting platform via the virtual device proxy.

Abstract: A method is performed at one or more entities configured to configure and provide assurance for a service enabled on a network. The service is configured as a collection of subservices on network devices of the network. A definition of the service is decomposed into a subservice dependency graph that indicates the subservices and dependencies between the subservices that collectively implement the service. Based on the subservice dependency graph, the subservices are configured to record and report subservice metrics indicative of subservice health states of the subservices. The subservice metrics are obtained from the subservices, and the subservice health states of the subservices are determined based on the subservice metrics. A health state of the service is determined based on the subservice health states. One or more of the subservices are reconfigured based on the health state of the service.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein prevent data spillage in multi-tenant services via request and response containerization with provenance checks. When a web request is received on behalf of a tenant, a request container is created and initialized with identifying information extracted from the request. Derived identifiers that can be verified as being associated with the tenant may be added to the request container. A response container for accumulating data obtained while processing the request is then created. The request and response containers are passed throughout the call path that processes the request. Identifying information passed to data access operations is obtained from the request container, while results of data access operations are stored in the response container. Before generating a web response using data from the response container, the response container is verified to contain data associated with the appropriate request.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided herein for a mechanism to identify link down reasons. As described herein, a first port of a first peer device may be determined to have unexpectedly changed to a port down state. Subsequently, a topology file may be referenced to identify a second port of a second peer device with which the first peer device is intended to have a link if not for the first port being in a port down state. In some examples, port settings of the first port may be compared with port settings of the second port. If a port setting for the first port mismatches an associated port setting for the second port, an alert message may be transmitted to a network administrator indicating this mismatch as a possible reason for the first port being in the port down state.
