Abstract: A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).

Abstract: A system provides permission controls for group messages. A system can support user accessibility by the use of a permissions that indicates that a user has accessibility needs with respect to a voice input. When a user is known to have accessibility issue with providing a voice input, a system data structure, such as a Teams directory, can indicate when specific users have special needs. The system can grant them with rights to prevent others from providing messages to a message thread. This allows that person to become a presenter of a meeting while using a message thread to give their presentation without interruption from others. The system can unlock the thread and allow others to provide messages when the user is done with their presentation. By controlling a message thread in this manner, a system can allow users having special needs to participate as a meeting presenter.

Abstract: Masking JavaScript in an embedded browser of an application display identifies areas within the embedded browser that are to be masked to a screensharing client, to enable the screensharing client to redact corresponding regions of the application display when the application display is transmitted on a screenshare session. A list of CSS selectors is provided to the masking script identifying HTML elements in the DOM that are to be masked. The masking script determines the locations and sizes of the HTML elements within the embedded browser and reports the masked areas to a screensharing client.

The screensharing client redacts the correlated regions from the screensharing data and does not transmit the redacted regions to prevent information appearing in the redacted regions from being transmitted on the screenshare session.

The certificate authority sends the OCSP responses and the cache keys in one transaction, and the CDN, in turn, consumes the new OCSP responses using the cache keys.

Abstract: Managing containerized workloads, such as by Kubernetes, provides a robust and expandable platform. Kubernetes high-availability (HA) mode provides additional safeguards against failure that allows services to be maintained without interruption in the event of a partial system or network failure. However, Kubernetes requires an odd number of master nodes (e.g., three) in order to be able have a quorum and maintain certain operations (e.g., election of a leader). In the event a master node loses functionality, the remaining master nodes are unable to have a quorum. System and methods are provided to convert a worker-only node into a master node in order to reestablish a quorum. Once functionality is restored, the converted master is reverted back to a worker-only node and the restored master, and remaining masters, maintain the quorum.
