Abstract: Using container and model information to select containers for executing models is described. A system receives a request from an application and identifies a version of a machine-learning model associated with the request. The system identifies model information associated with machine learning models corresponding to a cluster of available serving containers associated with the version of the machine-learning model. The system uses the model information to select a serving container from the cluster of available serving containers. If the machine-learning model is not loaded in the serving container, the system loads the machine-learning model in the serving container. If the machine-learning model is loaded in the serving container, the system executes, in the serving container, the machine-learning model on behalf of the request. The system responds to the request based on executing the machine-learning model on behalf of the request.

Abstract: Techniques for connectivity issue remediation are provided. A first link trace message is automatically transmitted from a source end point to a destination end point. A first topology graph is generated for a network based on the first link trace message. Presence of a loop is detected in the network. A second link trace message is then transmitted from the source end point to the destination end point, and a second topology graph is automatically generated for the network based on the second link trace message. An edge in the network that caused the loop is identified based on comparing the first and second topology graphs.

Abstract: A monolayer multi-axial integral geogrid suitable for stabilizing aggregate includes a plurality of interconnected oriented strands and partially oriented junctions forming a repeating pattern of outer hexagons having an array of openings therein. Oriented ribs extending inwardly from each of said outer hexagons support and surround a smaller inner hexagon having oriented strands thus forming a plurality of trapezoidal openings and a single hexagonal opening. The oriented strands and partially oriented junctions of the outer hexagons form a plurality of linear strong axis strands that extend continuously throughout the entirety of the geogrid and form additional triangular openings. The geogrid thus includes three different repeating geometric shapes. The inner hexagons preferably also can move up and down, out of the plane of the geogrid. The multi-axial integral geogrid thus provides a geometry configured to engage with, confine and stabilize a large variety and quality of aggregates.

Abstract: System and techniques for network slice resiliency are described herein. An indication of a fault-attack-failure-outage (FAFO) event for a network slice may be received. Here, the network slice is one of multiple network slices. A capacity in a slice segment may be estimated to determine whether there is enough capacity to meet a service level agreement (SLA) of the multiple network slices based on the FAFO event. In this case, the slice segment is a set of physical resources shared by the multiple network slices. Operation of the slice segment may then be modified based on results from estimating the capacity in the slice segment to address impacts from the FAFO event.
