  • Patent number: 12632469
    Abstract: Sequential consistency across a distributed cloud computing network is described. A database includes a primary database and multiple read replica databases. Write queries are transmitted to the primary database, and commit tokens are provided to the read replica databases and the clients. Commit tokens are included in requests from clients. If a request for a read operation received at a read replica database does not include a token that is later than a commit token of the most recent update to the read replica database, the read operation is served by the primary database. If a request for a read operation received at a read replica database includes a token that is later than a commit token of the most recent update to the read replica database, the read replica database delays servicing the read update until it receives an update from the primary database with an updated commit token.

  • Patent number: 12507060
    Abstract: Traffic is received at a distributed cloud computing network. The traffic originates from a computing device using a mobile data connection. The traffic is associated with an identifier that identifies a SIM of the computing device. Using the SIM identifier, an identity for identity-based policy enforcement at the distributed cloud computing network is determined. The identity is uniquely associated with the SIM identifier. An identity-based policy that is applicable for the received traffic for the determined identity is determined. The identity-based policy is enforced.
