Abstract: Methods and apparatuses directed to detecting the degradation of electronic components based on thermal testing. In some examples, a device includes heat detection elements, a temperature controller, a memory, and a processor. The temperature controller can receive a signal from each of the heat detection elements and determine a corresponding operating temperature. The processor can receive the operating temperatures from the temperature controller, and can read from the memory a threshold temperature corresponding to each of the heat detection elements. Further, the processor can compare the operating temperatures to their corresponding threshold temperatures and, based on the comparison, generate thermal error data characterizing detected thermal discrepancies. The processor can transmit the thermal error data to cause further operations, such as the disabling of a safety feature, or the display of a warning message, for example.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide novel methods for performing services for machines operating in one or more datacenters. For instance, for a group of related guest machines (e.g., a group of tenant machines), some embodiments define two different forwarding planes: (I) a guest forwarding plane and (2) a service forwarding plane. The guest forwarding plane connects to the machines in the group and performs L2 and/or L3 forwarding for these machines. The service forwarding plane (1) connects to the service nodes that perform services on data messages sent to and from these machines, and (2) forwards these data messages to the service nodes. In some embodiments, the guest machines do not connect directly with the service forwarding plane.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a centralized overlay-network cloud gateway and a set of centralized services in a transit virtual cloud network (VCN) connected to multiple other compute VCNs hosting compute nodes (VMs, containers, etc.) that are part of (belong to) the overlay network.

The overlay network, of some embodiments, uses the same subnetting and default gateway address for each compute node as the cloud provider network provided by the virtual private cloud provider.
