Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for joining a device to a meeting. A device can send a request to join the meeting, such as by selecting a meeting request link in an invitation received at the device. A join meeting service may receive the request, authenticate the request, and return a code package and meeting related document. The code package can be used at the device, and/or at the join meeting service, to identify one or more meeting clients (e.g., applications) on the device. A supported meeting client that may be used to join the device to the meeting can be selected from the one or more meeting identified clients, if at least one meeting client is identified, and launched to join the device to the online meeting.

Abstract: Techniques for deploying, maintaining and configuring complex hardware and software systems are provided. An abstract configuration of the system describes the system's desired state. Each component of the system declares the general form of the resources it requires and an abstract representation of the versions of the services it both requires and provides. A configuration process uses the abstract configuration of the system and the descriptions of each of the components in the system to validate that the system can operate effectively, ensures that each component is in the correct state and at the right version, and generates the necessary interconnections for the application components to interoperate with each other.

Abstract: Techniques for upgrading and/or downgrading a data resource deployed on a machine from one version to another version are provided. An application component that defines the data resource may provide an up/down tool for use in changing the data resource component from one version to another version. The up/down tool comprises an up/down process and one or more version conversion rules. The up/down process utilizes the provided version conversion rules to determine the ability of the up/down tool to deploy the data resource and to actually deploy the data resource.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a complete address of a test point of an application from a relative address of the test point and a configuration of a system are provided. An application component that defines the application includes a relative address of the test point. An abstract configuration of a system specifies a location where an instance of the application is to be deployed within the system. The complete address of the test point is then formulated using the relative address of the test point and the indication of the location where an instance of the application is to be deployed within the system. The complete address of the test point can then be used to perform a health check of the instance of the application.
