Abstract: A request to perform scalability analysis of a constituent service of an application at a first deployment environment is received. The constituent service is deployed to a plurality of host groups of the deployment environment. A data set which indicates a collection of front end request routers configured to distribute service requests among hosts of a collection of deployment environments including the first deployment environment is obtained. Analysis of the data set is used to identify a resource scaling unit which indicates a set of host groups, including a particular host group of the plurality of host groups, such that individual hosts within the set of host groups have the same estimated workload level as other hosts within the set of host groups. A representation of the resource scaling unit is stored.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method for handling a RRC re-establishment procedure in a wireless network by a network apparatus. The method includes detecting a radio link failure at a UE in the wireless network; receiving an RRC re-establishment request message from the UE; sending a downlink RRC re-establishment message and facilitating the allocation of an uplink grant to the UE; receiving a RRC re-establishment complete message from the UE on the allocated uplink grant resource. The method can be used to improve RRC re-establishment procedure completion time by efficient provisions of UL grant allocation to send a RRC Re-EstablishmentComplete. Using the disclosed method, there is drastic signaling reduction/resource wastage during the RRE procedure, thereby resulting in power saving of the UE and the network apparatus.

Abstract: A device may receive a request to migrate source data, associated with a source platform, to a target platform. The device may select a target template associated with the target platform based on the request; obtain target information based on the target template; and generate a target mapping based on the source data and the target information. The device may analyze the target mapping to identify an unmapped element in the target mapping and determine, using a migration analysis model, a candidate mapping, for the unmapped element, between a set of the source data and a target element of the target elements. The device may provide a notification that identifies the candidate mapping, to permit a user selection associated with verifying the candidate mapping. The device may receive the user selection and migrate the source data to the target platform according to the target mapping and the user selection.

Abstract: Certain embodiments described herein relate to an improved information management system that can perform platform-agnostic containerized application data protection. In one embodiment, the information management system receives a user's credentials to a container orchestrator along with an indication of whether or not to deploy a backup pod. Using the user credentials, the information management system accesses the container orchestrator, and if the user has requested deployment of a backup pod on the user's cluster, the information management system may do so using a backup pod specification and allow the backup pod to perform data protection operations, using a platform-agnostic interface (e.g., container storage interface), for application data accessible by the user applications on the user's pod on the user's cluster. Alternatively, if the user has not requested deployment of a backup pod, the information management system may perform data protection operations using provider-specific interface.
