Abstract: Computing resources are managed in a computing network comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network. The edge computing network receives an indication of a disconnection of communications between the computing service provider and the edge computing network. In response to the indication, the edge computing network initiates an autonomous mode at the edge computing network. The edge computing network is configured to continue providing computing and network services at the edge computing network while the edge computing network is operating in the autonomous mode.

Abstract: A computing network comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network is managed. A trusted device establishes a root of trust at the edge computing network via a trusted component on the trusted device. In response to receiving a first indication of a disconnection or degradation of communications between the computing service provider and the edge computing network, the edge computing network initiates an autonomous mode at the edge computing network. While the edge computing network is operating in the autonomous mode, the trusted device detects new devices that are attempting to access computing resources in the edge computing network. The trusted device stores data pertaining to new devices that were not authorized to access the computing resources in the edge computing network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a network function configuration system that efficiently, accurately, and flexibly manages network function configurations in a cloud computing system for a 5G (and beyond) telecommunications network. For example, the network function configuration system utilizes configuration snapshots to perform batches of configuration updates atomically to network functions of a mobile packet core that is implemented in a cloud computing system. To illustrate, in a cloud computing system (such as a core network), network functions run in a current state. To modify the configuration snapshot to a desired state, numerous network function configuration changes must often be applied.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for configuring a network function in a core network of a telecommunications environment. For example, systems described herein involve collecting transmission data including timing and success/failure data for use in generating a retry policy that includes rules and instructions that govern transmission of retries between computing nodes. Once generated, the retry policy may be applied to message packages by selectively transmitting message retries based on specific timing delays that are determined from the collected transmission data. This generation and implementation of the retry policy may improve the latency and success rate of messages transmitted by computing nodes within a core network architecture, thereby improving network conditions in a variety of ways.
