Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for providing an autostaler mechanism that is purpose-built to prevent cloud computing systems from terminating certain processes or instances that would otherwise be terminated by autoscaling mechanisms. Specifically, the autostaler determines various criteria or parameters associated with a compute instance and further determines a state for the compute instance based on the parameters. For example, the autostaler designates a stale state for an instance based on determining computational requirements for the instance and/or based on comparing processes of the instance with a custom process list that defines processes which are stale-able and/or not stale-able. Indeed, the autostaler can designate a process that would otherwise be terminated by a cloud computing system as stale to persist the process and prevent its termination.

Abstract: Methods and systems for resilient network communication are provided. In one aspect, a network includes multiple edge network elements, core network elements, and off-network network elements. Each network element has multiple ports. Communication paths exist between edge network elements, traversing core network elements. A maintenance domain maintains communication resiliency in the network through maintenance domain entities that detect network communication faults. Maintenance domain entities are associated with ports of edge network elements. VLAN service provision to subscribers occurs over the network by mapping services to VLAN tags such that the service VLAN includes information about the resilient network. VLAN service assignment to maintenance domains is balanced.

Based on initial bytes of the incoming packet, a pattern of protocol headers is detected, and used to select one of the plurality of RSS hash M-tuple definitions. The selected RSS hash M-tuple definition is applied as a protocol-independent arbitrary set of bits to the headers of the incoming packet to form a RSS hash M-tuple vector, which is used to compute a RSS hash. Based on the RSS hash, a particular queue is selected from a set of destination queues identified for the packet, and the packet is delivered to the selected particular queue.
