Abstract: In a communication system, a first network node is configured to execute at least one service application executing a first service and at least one analytics application executing at least part of a distributed analytics service. The first network node obtains information about a new telecommunication service and transmits, to a second network node in the communication system, a request for a policy for the new telecommunication service. The first network node receives, from the second network node, the policy for the new telecommunication service and updates a currently applied policy on the basis of the received policy. The updated policy rebalances resources allocated from a shared computing resource pool of the first network node between the new telecommunication service and the at least one analytics application such that the new telecommunication service maintains adherence to the one or more requirements of a service level agreement.

Abstract: It is presented a method for enabling allocation of resources for a plurality of hosts. The method is performed by a server (1) and comprises identifying (S100) a service running on one or more of the plurality of hosts, determining (S140) a stretch factor for a recurring load pattern for the service running on the one or more of the plurality of hosts, and storing (S150) the identified service together with the determined stretch factor. It is also presented a server, a computer program and a computer program product.

Abstract: A method of allocating cloud computing resources in a cloud computing environment to a user is disclosed. The method comprises determining a prediction accuracy score for each user indicative of their user predictability, and allocating cloud computing resources to each user dependent on their user predictability.

Abstract: It is disclosed a network node (200, 220, 300, 400, 500, 600, 80) and a method for executing an analytics task. The network node is adapted to reside in a telecommunication network, and to be supported by a distributed cloud infrastructure. The network node is adapted to execute at least one service application (202) executing a first service and at least one analytics application (204) executing at least part of a distributed analytics service, where the network node further is adapted to comprise a node policy agent (206, 226, 304, 504, 606) and a node manager (210, 230, 306, 406, 506, 608). By applying a policy restrictions on the analytics task executed on the same network node as a service application, service level agreements for the service application in a telecommunication cloud can be upheld.

Abstract: An approach for extending capacities of a Radio Access Network (RAN) is presented. An exemplary method implementation of that approach comprises flying a drone to an RAN site. The drone is carrying cloud computing resources that will be registered at a cloud management entity associated with the RAN. The registered cloud computing resources of the drone are then provided to the RAN to dynamically extend its capacities.
