Abstract: Securing pods in a container orchestration environment is provided. A container runtime interface command is verified to perform an orchestration action on a set of containers comprising an application workload that corresponds to a service based on matching the container runtime interface command to a rule contained in a trusted execution environment contract included in a pod sandbox virtual machine of a trusted execution environment. It is determined whether the container runtime interface command to perform the orchestration action on the set of containers is valid based finding a matching rule in the trusted execution environment contract. In response to determining that the container runtime interface command to perform the orchestration action on the set of containers is valid, the container runtime interface command is executed to perform the orchestration action on the set of containers in the pod sandbox virtual machine of the trusted execution environment.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a wireless device may buffer uplink communications. However, such approaches may be improved. An access point (AP) may receive, from a station, uplink traffic of a traffic flow for forwarding to a backhaul network via a backhaul link. The AP may monitor a buffer of the AP to determine that a quantity of buffered uplink traffic received from the station exceeds a buffer quota, the buffer quota set for the traffic flow based on a traffic throughput capacity of the backhaul link and a throughput parameter for the traffic flow. The AP may modify, based on the quantity of buffered uplink traffic exceeding the buffer quota, an uplink communication scheme to reduce the quantity of uplink traffic from the station.
