  • Publication number: 20250379804
    Abstract: A method performed by a controller computing node to dynamically adjust a detail level of observation data collected by an observability system. The method includes receiving observation data collected by a plurality of agent computing nodes, determining, based on analyzing the observation data collected by the plurality of agent computing nodes, that a detail level of observation data collected by one or more of the plurality of agent computing nodes is to be changed, and responsive to determining that the detail level of observation data collected by the one or more agent computing nodes is to be changed, instructing the one or more agent computing nodes to change the detail level of observation data that they collect.

  • Patent number: 11652693
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for anchoring an edge cloud to a central cloud, the method being performed in a cloud environment comprising a central cloud and an edge cloud, the method comprising obtaining (S238, S310), by a connectivity controller of an edge cloud, an address of an anchoring registry of a central cloud; sending (S240, S312), by the connectivity controller, to the anchoring registry, information about networking configuration of the edge cloud; setting up (S246, S314), by an orchestrator of the central cloud, a virtual private network, VPN, service in the central cloud; requesting (S248, S316), by the orchestrator of the central cloud, edge VPN configuration information from the central VPN service, based on the information about networking configuration of the edge cloud; sending (S252, S318), by the anchoring registry, the edge VPN configuration information, to an orchestrator of the edge cloud; creating (S258, S320), by an orchestrator of the edge cloud, an edge VPN service, b

  • Publication number: 20210232438
    Abstract: A method, in a serverless life-cycle management, (LCM) dispatcher, and an associated serverless LCM dispatcher for implementing a workload in a virtualization network. The method comprises receiving a workload trigger comprising an indication of a first workload, obtaining a description of the first workload from a workload description database based on the indication of the first workload, categorising, based on the description and the workload trigger, the first workload as a non LCM workload capable of being implemented with no LCM routines, or an LCM workload capable of being implemented using LCM routines. Furthermore, responsive to categorising the first workload as an LCM workload, the method comprises determining a LCM capability level for implementing the first workload, identifying an LCM component capable of providing the LCM capability level, and transmitting an implementation request to the LCM component to implement the first workload.
