Abstract: Real-time resource deployment and integration can include determining one or more performance priorities for a user computer system based on a plurality of system-generated processing metrics. Based on the one or more performance priorities, a candidate cloud-based service can be determined among one or more previously unanalyzed cloud-based services identified by an automated watcher configured to search a plurality of communication network sites. The current performance of the user computer system can be compared to a potential performance of the user computer system were the candidate cloud-based service deployed. A script can be generated in response to determining, based on the comparing, that deploying the candidate cloud-based service improves performance of the user computer system with respect to the performance priorities. The script reconfigures the user computer system in real-time by automatically deploying the candidate cloud-based service.

Abstract: Dynamically scaling control plane for ingress services for large numbers of applications with minimal traffic disruption includes receiving an estimate of a number of applications to be executed by multiple clusters implemented by an orchestrator platform. Each cluster includes multiple containers. The multiple clusters implement a centralized controller that control execution of the applications by the multiple clusters.

Each controller of the variable number of controllers controls an execution of a respective subset of the applications. In response to a change in the number of applications over time, the number of controllers is modified based on a number of applications to be executed by the multiple clusters at any given time.

Abstract: A pending data migration is detected, that is related to a set of one or more data blobs. The set of data blobs are stored on a source cloud object data store. The set of data blobs are retrieved, from the source cloud object data store. A security requirement for the set of data blobs is identified based on the set of data blobs and based on the source cloud object data store. A set of one or more potential target cloud object data stores from a set of additional cloud object data stores is determined. The set of data blobs is assigned, in response to the determination, to a first potential target cloud object data store of the set of potential target cloud object data stores. The assignment is based on the security requirement.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that identifies a first number of requests received at a first application. Based on the first number of requests received at the first application, the method determines that a second application that processes requests after processing by the first application requires additional resources to handle a second number of requests that will be received at the second application. The method increases the amount of resources available to the second application prior to the second application receiving the second number of requests.
