  • Publication number: 20210294562
    Abstract: Example implementations may involve generating and displaying media items contexts related to media playback systems in social media posts. In an example, a computing system of a social media service receives data representing a playback history of one or more particular audio tracks that were played back at a media playback system, and a particular account of the social media service that is registered with the media playback system. In response, the computing system generates a social-media post for the particular account of the social media service, the social-media post including that an indication of the one or more particular audio tracks that were played back at the media playback system during the playback session. The computing system displays the generated social-media post in respective feeds of multiple accounts of the social media service that are connected to the particular account within a social network of the social media service.

  • Patent number: 11120076
    Abstract: A first connection state may be entered on a computing device. While the computing device is in the first connection state, actions taken on a playlist on the computing device may be applied to the playlist and not applied to a playback queue associated with a zone. An input may be received via the computing device, indicating a selection of the zone. In response to receiving the input, a second connection state may be entered. Entering the second connection state may comprise establishing a connected state between the computing device and the one or more playback devices. While the connected state is established, one or more actions taken on the playlist on the computing device may be applied to the playlist and transmitted, in a message to the zone over a network. The one or more actions may be one or more corresponding actions applied to the playback queue.

  • Publication number: 20210279111
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to a upgrade of a host that hosts application units of a container-based application. According to an example, monitoring is performed to identify new system software component availability for the cluster. When a new system software component is available, a historical workload pattern of the cluster is analyzed to identify an upgrade window for each host of the cluster. When the upgrade window arrives for a host, it is determined whether reconfiguration of an application is to be performed based on a capacity of the cluster. When the determination is affirmative, a reconfiguration option for the application is identified and a configuration of the application is adjusted accordingly. The host may then be drained, removed from the cluster, upgraded, added back into the cluster and any application configuration changes can be reversed.

  • Publication number: 20210240539
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to determining and implementing a feasible resource optimization plan for public cloud consumption. Telemetry data over a period of time is obtained for a current deployment of virtual infrastructure resources within a current data center of a cloud provider that supports an existing service and an application deployed on the virtual infrastructure resources. Information regarding a set of constraints to be imposed on a resource optimization plan is obtained. Indicators of resource consumption relating to the currently deployed virtual infrastructure resources during the period of time are identified by applying a deep learning algorithm to the telemetry data. A resource optimization plan is determined that is feasible within the set of constraints based on a costing model associated with resources of an alternative data center of the cloud provider, the indicators of resource consumption and costs associated with the current deployment.

  • Publication number: 20210240522
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to migration of a stateful application from a source computing environment to a destination virtualized computing environment by prioritizing migration of data of the application based on a priority map created based on data usage patterns. An instance of the application is installed within the destination environment. The priority map includes priorities for chunks of the data based on historical data access patterns. The data is migrated from a source volume of the source environment to a destination volume of the destination environment on a chunk-by-chunk basis by performing a background data migration process based on the priority map. Usage of the application concurrent with the data migration process is facilitated by abstracting a location of data being operated upon by the application by maintaining migration status for the chunks. The priority map is periodically updated based on observed data access patterns post application migration.

  • Patent number: 11080329
    Abstract: Example techniques involve a dynamic display of filter criteria on a control device. In one aspect, the control device retrieves first search results from a plurality of streaming media services and displays an interface including a first region that includes selectable controls corresponding to respective first filter criteria of a first set of filter criteria for filtering the retrieved first search results according to respective streaming media services and a second region that includes a graphical representation of (i) the first search results corresponding to a given first filter criteria and (ii) metadata identifiers that separate the retrieved first search results into sets corresponding to respective types of metadata. When a given selectable control corresponding to a particular streaming media service is selected, the interface is updated to display, in place of the first search results, a graphical representation of second search results from the particular streaming media service.

  • Publication number: 20210216272
    Abstract: An example playback device is configured to play back a first media item and, while playing back the first media item, receive a voice command to enter a preview mode in which the playback device plays back one or more second media items for a predetermined duration that is shorter than a total duration of the one or more second media items. Responsive to receiving the voice command, the playback device enters the preview mode, thereby (i) suspending playback of the first media item and (ii) initiating playback of the one or more second media items for the predetermined duration. The playback device subsequently terminates the preview mode, thereby (i) terminating playback of the one or more second media items, and (ii) resuming playback of the first media item.

  • Patent number: 11057274
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for automating the deployment of software-defined and/or virtualized network functions (“xNFs”) within a network via a holistic validation of each xNF against validation criteria and/or performance of prior xNFs. The holistic validation may include receiving an xNF, determining a first amount of risk associated with that xNF based on one or more differences between the xNF and the validation criteria, determining a second amount of risk by comparing performance characteristics of the xNF to performance characteristics of earlier version of the same or similar xNFs, providing the xNF to the network for deployment in response to the total risk being within an acceptable amount of risk, and preventing xNF deployment while providing a notification with a set of recommendations to reduce the xNF risk in response to the total risk exceeding the acceptable amount of risk.

  • Patent number: 11049033
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network assurance system that monitors a network labels time periods with positive labels, based on the network assurance system detecting problems in the network during the time periods. The network assurance system assigns tags to discrete portions of a feature space of measurements from the monitored network, based on whether a particular range of values in the feature space has a threshold probability of occurring during a positively-labeled time period. The network assurance system determines a set of the assigned tags that frequently co-occur with the positively-labeled time periods in which problems are detected in the network. The network assurance system causes performance of a mitigation action in the network based on the set of assigned tags that frequently co-occur with the positively-labeled time periods.
