Abstract: A computing device requests access to an application object from a remote storage system in order to locally execute application functionality without hosting application resources. An accessed object is associated with an intent in the storage system and locked. Locking an object in combination with an intent prevents computing devices that are not performing the intent from accessing the object. An intent defines one or more operations to be performed with the requested object, which are serialized as intent steps and stored in the storage system. Upon executing an intent step, the computing device stores a log entry at the storage system signifying the step's completion. A locked object remains locked until the log entries indicate every intent step as complete. Different computing devices can unlock a locked object by executing any incomplete steps of an intent associated with the locked object.

Abstract: A storage account is replicated across multiple data centers so as to withstand an outage of the storage account. A front end and applications use data stored in the storage accounts to manage resources of a cloud computing system. A client includes an interface used by the front end to access the storage accounts, in addition to an interface that is used by the applications to access the storage accounts. Other features, which ensure that a read operation survives even if a head replica or a tail replica is down, include reading from a head replica instead of from a tail replica, a two phase prepare-commit operation to propagate changes from head to tail replicas, and provisioning a back end repair service if a failure occurs in the middle of the prepare-commit operation.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for coordinating, with a cloud exchange, automated cloud-based disaster recovery across containers from a failed cloud service to a backup cloud service. In some examples, an orchestration engine for a cloud exchange is configured to: detect an indication of a disruption in a first cloud service provided by a first cloud service provider network coupled to the cloud exchange to send and receive data packets via the cloud exchange; provision, in response to detecting the indication of the disruption in the first cloud service, disaster recovery infrastructure layers in containers of a second cloud service provided by a second cloud service provider network coupled to the cloud exchange; obtain code and state from containers of the first cloud service; and communicate the code and state to the disaster recovery infrastructure layers in the containers of the second cloud service.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for network infrastructure configuration based on network device configuration templates are provided. A network device configuration template is received where the network device configuration template corresponds to network device configuration data based on template elements. Template elements include variable placeholders, versions, Stock Keeping Units (SKUs), firmware, and target devices identified in the network device configuration template. Values for the template elements are referenced from a dataset storage component. The network device configuration data are classified into different classification units. The network device configuration data are merged with the network device configuration template that programmatically defines configuration of network devices. A network device configuration instance is generated based on evaluating the template elements and replacing template elements with values from the dataset storage.
