Publication number: 20240119133Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to authorization between integrated cloud products. An example includes receiving, by a computing device and from a first resource, a first request for permission to access a certificate to verify a requestor's identity. The computing device can transmit a second request to a second resource to authorize permitting access to the certificate. The computing device can receive a response from the second resource comprising an authorization to permit access to the certificate. The computing device can grant permission to the first resource to access the certificate, wherein the first resource is configured to verify the requestor's identity based on accessing the certificate. The computing device can receive a third request from the first resource to generate an association object between the first resource and the certificate. The computing device can generate the association object, wherein the association object associates the first resource and the certificate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Mauruthi Geetha Mohan, Anthony Long, Mina Michel Gorgy Anes, Sanjeeb Kumar Sahoo, Yingyu Yang, Bakhtiyar Uddin, Thomas James Andrews

Publication number: 20240106853Abstract: Techniques are described for improving real-time application protection (RTAP) systems (e.g., web application firewalls (WAFs), runtime application self-protection (RASP) systems). In particular, a device within a trusted network may monitor or test the configuration settings of the RTAP systems, network traffic into the RTAP systems, and/or log information from the RTAP systems. For example, the device may detect drift in a configuration for a particular RTAP system by comparing the configuration settings of the RTAP systems to baseline configuration settings and classifying any detected drift as good drift or bad drift. In some examples, the device may maintain the configuration settings or set the configuration settings as the baseline configuration settings when the configurations settings include good drift from the baseline configuration settings. In other examples, the device may set the configuration settings with the bad drift to the baseline configuration settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Matthew Thomas McDonald, Jeremy W.

Patent number: 11537419Abstract: Disclosed is a source host including a processor. The processor operates a virtual machine (VM) to communicate network traffic over a communication link. The processor also initiates migration of the VM to a destination host. The processor also suspends the VM during migration of the VM to the destination host. The source host also includes a live migration circuit coupled to the processor. The live migration circuit manages a session associated with the communication link while the VM is suspended during migration. The live migration circuit buffers changes to a session state and transfers the buffered session state changes to the destination host for replay after the VM is reactivated on the destination host. The live migration circuit keeps the sessions alive during migration to alleviate connection losses.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Stephen T.

Publication number: 20190045000Abstract: Technologies for load-aware traffic steering include a compute device that includes a multi-homed network interface controller (NIC) with a plurality of NICs. The compute device determines a target virtual network function (VNF) of a plurality of VNFs to perform a processing operation on a network packet. The compute device further identifies a first steering point of a first NIC to steer the received network packet to virtual machines (VMs) associated with the target VNF and retrieves a resource utilization metric that corresponds to a usage level of a component of the compute device used by the VMs to process the network packet. Additionally, the compute device determines whether the resource utilization metric indicates a potential overload condition and provides a steering instruction to a second steering point of a second NIC that is usable to redirect the network traffic to the other VMs via the identified second steering point.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Chetan Hiremath, Timothy Verrall, Andrey Chilikin, Thomas Long, Maryam Tahhan, Eoin Walsh, Andrew Duignan, Rory Browne
