Abstract: A memory-efficient technique for performing weighted round-robin load balancing in a distributed computing system is described. In one example of the present disclosure, a system can determine an offset to apply to a list of node identifiers based on a counter value. The system can select a subset of node identifiers from the list of node identifiers based on the offset. The system can then select a node identifier from the subset of node identifiers based on the counter value and a length of the subset of node identifiers. The system can transmit data to a node that corresponds to the node identifier and increment the counter value. The system can repeat this process any number of times to distribute data among a group of nodes in the distributed computing system.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe using translation mappings and security contracts to establish interconnects and policies between switching fabrics at different sites to create a unified fabric. In one embodiment, a multi-site controller can stretch endpoint groups (EPGs) between the sites so that a host or application in a first site can communicate with a host or application in a second site which is assigned to the same stretched EPG, despite the two sites have different namespaces.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that allows third party applications to inject dependencies to leverage automated assistant functions. Furthermore, enabling such dependency injections can allow third party applications to preserve privacy of any application content that is used during execution of automated assistant functions. In some implementations, a third party application can initialize a function with an assistant dependency using parameters that are tagged as private. Initializing a function in such as a way can allow private content communicated between the third party application and the automated assistant to be abstracted for security purposes. The abstracted content can thereafter be communicated to a remote server—such as a server hosting an extensively trained machine learning model. Intelligent output provided by the server can then be incorporated into one or more processes of the third party application without comprising security.

Abstract: Systems, methods and products for determining the trustworthiness of anonymous sensors, including a sensor health check, a data ballpark check, a reputation comparison, and optional “last resort” procedures. The sensor health check examines sensor operating parameters to see if they fall within an envelope of expected values. If not, the sensor is unhealthy and is not trusted.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for providing a single sign-on experience for mobile applications that may or may not be managed. A first application executed in a client device sends an access request to a service provider. The first application receives a redirection response from the service provider that redirects the first application to an identity provider. The first application then receives a further redirection response from the identity provider that causes the first application to request an identity assertion from a second application executed in the client device. The first application receives the identity assertion from the second application. The first authentication then authenticates with the service provider using the identity assertion.
