Abstract: A method for dynamically storing keys and values includes receiving a request for storing one or more keys in a key value Solid State drive (KV-SSD). The method further includes performing a storage operation for storing each key of the one or more keys in a node of a data structure of the KV-SSD. The storage operation includes allocating a first region in the node for storing the key, such that a size of the first region is equal to a size of the key. The storage operation further includes allocating a second region in the node for storing key metadata associated with the key, such that the second region is of a predetermined size. The storage operation further includes storing the key in the first region and the key metadata in the second region of the node.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for capturing network traffic in a distributed computing environment comprising a plurality of computing devices executing a plurality of Kubernetes pods. A customer resource definition defines one or more capture filters. Based on the capture filters, a configuration map object specifying data packets to be captured is generated. Capture sidecars are injected at the Kubernetes pods. At each Kubernetes pod the configuration map object is read and a capture of the specified data packets is initiated.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for accurately identifying devices coupled to ports of power sourcing equipment (PSE) of a Power over Ethernet (PoE) system as either powered devices (PDs) or non-powered devices (non-PDs). A device coupled to a PSE port can be identified as a non-PD in response to determining a data link is established on the port before enabling the detection of powered devices on the port and before supplying power on the port. Another embodiment includes determining that a device has been coupled to the port, determining that a data link to the device has been established on the port, removing power from the port, and then determining whether the data link established on the port still exists.
