Abstract: Methods and systems are described for provisioning cloud-based database systems and performing decoupled maintenance. For example, conventional systems may rely on database management systems to provision and modify databases hosted by a service provider. However, for entities operating complex database systems with the need for highly customized cloud infrastructure, database management systems fail to provide the granular customization and the control necessary to create and service these systems. In contrast, the described solutions provide an improvement over conventional database management system architecture by providing direct communication between an entity and its cloud-based database systems via command line prompts or API calls, decoupling database system maintenance from database system provisioning process to increase the speed and granular customization of the database system.

Abstract: A method implemented by a network controller, the method comprising obtaining metadata of a content, wherein the content is requested by a client device, allocating one or more network resources to the content based on the metadata of the content, and sending a message identifying the allocated network resources to a switch to direct the content to be served to the client device, wherein the switch is controlled by the network controller and configured to forward the content to the client device using the allocated network resources.
