Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed for mapping active assurance intents to resource orchestration and life cycle management. An example apparatus disclosed herein is to reserve a probe on a compute device in a cluster of compute devices based on a request to satisfy a resource availability criterion associated with a resource of the cluster, apply a risk mitigation operation based on the resource availability criterion before deployment of a workload to the cluster, and monitor whether the criterion is satisfied based on data from the probe after deployment of the workload to the cluster.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a management system that determines which services to redeploy on one or more platforms. A platform can receive a configuration to perform during a failure of connectivity with a management system. The platform can monitor activity of one or more services. The platform can, based on failure of connectivity with the management system and recovery of connectivity with the management system, provide the monitored activity of one or more services to the management system to influence services re-deployed by the management system. In some examples, based on failure to re-establish a connection with the management system within an amount of time, the platform can connect with the management system using a secondary management interface.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to configuring an interrupt controller to gather zero or more interrupts of a first type and provide the zero or more interrupts of the first type to a first core after a threshold amount of time has elapsed. The interrupt controller is configured to transfer interrupts of a second type to a second core that executes at least one network protocol processing-related task. However, in some examples, the first core can perform any network protocol processing-related task. The first type of interrupts can be associated with faults that are correctable by an interrupt issuer or its delegate. The first core can be configured to perform a corrective action and acknowledge receipt of the group of interrupts or to merely acknowledge receipt of the group of interrupts but not perform a corrective action.
