Abstract: Techniques discussed herein relate to implementing a distributed computing cluster (the “cluster”) including a plurality of edge devices (e.g., devices individually configured to selectively execute within an isolated computing environment). Each of the edge devices of the cluster may be configured with a respective control plane computing component. A subset of the edge devices may be selected to operate in a distributed control plane of the computing cluster. Any suitable combination of the subset selected to operate in the distributed control plane can instruct remaining edge devices of the distributed computing cluster to disable at least a portion of their respective control planes. Using these techniques, the cluster's distributed control plane can be configured and modified to scale as the cluster grows. The edge devices of the control plane may selectively connect to a centralized cloud, alleviating the remaining edge devices from needless and costly connections.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a framework that provides execution of serverless functions in a cloud environment based on occurrence of events/notifications from services in an entirely different cloud environment. A target agent obtains a notification from a source agent, where the target agent is deployed in a target cloud environment and the source agent is deployed in a source cloud environment that is different than the target cloud environment. The target agent determines a function that is to be invoked based on the notification. Upon successfully verifying whether the target agent is permitted to invoke the function that is deployed in a target customer tenancy of the target cloud environment, the target agent invokes the function in the target customer tenancy of the target cloud environment.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to establish trust in a cluster of edge devices. An edge device cloud service can associate a first cloud-computing edge device with a fleet of cloud-computing edge devices and provision the first cloud-computing edge device with a master encryption key. The edge device cloud service can associate a second cloud-computing edge device with the fleet and provision the second cloud-computing edge device with the master encryption key and the first public encryption key. The first cloud-computing edge device can receive from the second cloud-computing edge device encrypted message data comprising the second public encryption key. The first cloud-computing edge device can decrypt the encrypted message data using the master encryption key stored in the first key store and update the first key store with the second public encryption key.

Abstract: Discussed herein is a framework that facilitates access to services offered in a target cloud environment for resources deployed in a source cloud environment. The source cloud environment is different and independent with respect to the target cloud environment. A compute instance executed in a source cloud environment generates a request to use a service provided in the target cloud environment. The request is transmitted from the source cloud environment to the target cloud environment via an intercloud service gateway. The service is executed in the target cloud environment based on an access role that is associated with the compute instance.

Abstract: Discussed herein are techniques for migrating an application from a source cloud environment (SCE) to a target cloud environment (TCE). Responsive to a request received by an application migration service (AMS) to migrate an application executed in a first compute instance in the SCE to a second compute instance in the TCE, the AMS authenticates credentials of a user with respect to the SCE. Upon the credentials being successfully authenticated, the AMS generates a public key and a private key. The public key is transmitted to a service manager that injects the public key in the application executed in the first compute instance and the private key is assigned to a source agent. The source agent obtains one or more artifacts and configuration information that enable execution of the application based on the private key, which are installed by a target agent in the second compute instance in the TCE.

Abstract: There is provided a method of operating an IP Multimedia Subsystem Access Gateway (IMS-AGW) in order to support the transmission of media to and from an endpoint, using an IMS, wherein the endpoint implements an alternative media transport protocol other than Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). The method comprises the IMS-AGW receiving instructions from an IMS Application Level Gateway (IMS-ALG) for an alternative media transport protocol connection with the endpoint and a RTP connection within the IMS, the instructions including more than one RTP payload type number and a dynamic binding of each of the more than one RTP payload type number to a statically defined codec identifier. The IMS-AGW stores the dynamic binding. Then, when translating between alternative media transport protocol packets and RTP packets, the IMS-AGW uses the stored binding to map between an RTP payload type number and a codec identifier used by the alternative media transport protocol.
