Abstract: A system having one or more devices connected to a network which redirects data from one or more physical sensors to a network interface, with one or more processors, having an endpoint service executing to receive data collected by the sensor to be sent to the control service, a first virtualized endpoint service associated with the endpoint device executing on the one or more processors including a virtual sensor associated with the first physical sensor causing the element to perform a task that results in a change in the device or device's sensor or the environment surrounding the device, and a first virtual interactive element controller associated with a first interactive element, and a first virtualized endpoint engine, a virtualized endpoint service executing to receive, over the network by the first virtual sensor, first redirected data collected by the physical sensor.

Abstract: Network data obfuscation is disclosed. For example, an obfuscation driver is initialized in an endpoint device connected to an obfuscation gateway over a secure connection by collaboratively generating a unique machine identifier of the endpoint device. An obfuscated communication session is established between the obfuscation driver and the obfuscation gateway. Obfuscated messages including obfuscation seeds, de-obfuscation instructions and message payloads are exchanged between the obfuscation driver and the obfuscation gateway. Obfuscating and de-obfuscating a given message includes reordering a plurality of message segments of the message based on the de-obfuscation instructions. A de-obfuscated message from the obfuscation driver is forwarded to an application, and a response is obfuscated by the obfuscation gateway before being transmitted to the obfuscation driver.

Abstract: Intelligently assisted IoT endpoint devices are disclosed. For example, an endpoint device determined to have an active network connection redirects input/output data from a physical sensor to a network interface. First redirected data of the input/output data is received, over a network by a virtual sensor of a virtualized endpoint service then output to a virtualized endpoint engine that resulting in conversion into first converted data, which is sent to an endpoint control service. The virtualized endpoint engine receives a first command from the endpoint control service then sends the first command to a virtual interactive element controller which converts the first command into a second command compatible with an interactive element of the endpoint device which performs a task after receiving the second command. The virtual sensor receives second redirected data collected by the physical sensor different from first redirected data as a result of the task.

Abstract: Techniques for developing and deploying software applications in a virtualized computing environment are described. A developer user is presented with a user interface providing options for accessing a software development project. Inputs are provided to the software development project. The inputs may include data and selection of a software component. A plurality of predefined data objects are accessed and an executable software application is generated. The application executes on virtual machine instances of the virtualized computing environment and is accessible by a plurality of end-users. The executable software application is developed within the multi-user computing and network services platform via the web-based user interface and is hosted by the multi-user computing and network services platform for use by end-users.
