A network slice selection method includes, in response to an update in configuration information of a user of a media service, determining first information indicating updated configuration information of the user of the media service. The first information indicates an updated selection of a first network slice from at least two network slices. The method further includes transmitting, by the media service, the first information to an entity of a 5G Core network.

An apparatus for performing an over-the-air (OTA) update for a vehicle includes an estimated-time calculating device that calculates estimated time required for the OTA update of one or more controllers included in the vehicle, an update performing device that starts the OTA update based on the calculated estimated time, and a rollback performing device that performs an initial rollback on a failed OTA update once and to calculate a first value indicating whether a rollback is able to be performed on the failed OTA update in a case where the OTA update of at least one of the controllers fails when the OTA update is started.

Persistent storage may contain an input discovery payload that contains entries representing configuration items and relationships therebetween, wherein the configuration items contain attributes defining devices, components, or applications on a network. One or more processors may be configured to: provide, for display, a graphical user interface containing a representation of the input discovery payload and a button; provide the input discovery payload to an identification and reconciliation engine (IRE) software application; receive, from the IRE software application, an output discovery payload that includes a log generated from execution of the IRE software application on the input discovery payload, wherein the log indicates, for the configuration items and the relationships in the input discovery payload, how a configuration management database (CMDB) would be updated by the IRE software application; and provide, for display, a further graphical user interface containing a further representation of the output discovery payload.

Techniques are provided for a coordinated microservice system including a coordinator and multiple services, which interact with each other. Each of the services can have multiple execution instances, which run independently of each other. In operation, the current status of each instance is evaluated against one or more rules to determine whether the current status changes the topography of the services and updating the topography based on the changes. An execution plan is created for executing a command based on one or more predefined rules and the updated topography, where the execution plan includes one or more steps for executing the command on each instance of the service. The execution plan is executed on each instance of the service in accordance with the one or more predefined rules.

A user device has a plurality of modules which support an application such as gaming application. The user device has a stream processing module which is able to stream process events which are generated, for example when the application is run. The events which are generated by the modules are passed to an event module which distributes the events to other of the modules.

A communication control method which performs route control in a communication system comprising: a specific network constituting the Internet; a first network configured to accommodate a specific device connected to the specific network; a second network provided between the specific network and the first network; and a processing device configured to perform predetermined processing on the basis of a packet transmitted between the specific network and the first network, the communication control method comprising: causing a path setting device in the communication system to execute a communication route-setting process comprised of, in accordance with first routing information defining a path leading from the first network to the specific network to be branched in the second network, controlling a path so that a first path of the branched path is set as a path via the processing device, and a second path of the branched path is set as a path leading to the specific network.

Systems and methods may create and manage hybrid clouds including both standard compute nodes and edge devices. Edge devices can be enrolled in a hybrid cloud by deploying a lightweight container to the edge device.

Network devices are provisioned using a single vendor-neutral data model with a non-relational database. Provisioning requirements are collected upon detecting a new network device that needs to be configured and/or installed. Based on the provisioning requirements, a configuration object is retrieved using a data model in the non-relational database. The configuration object is transformed to a concrete configuration file for the network device. After applying the configuration file to the network device, a separate process validates the configuration of the network device by comparing the observed network configuration with the initial target configuration data included in the configuration object.

A method of traffic reduction in a mesh computing system (400), the mesh computing system (400) comprising hosts located on edge nodes of the mesh computing system (400) and a central registry located outside the mesh computing system (400), the central registry holding the images. The method comprises, at a first host located at a first edge node, receiving (920) a request from a client for an image, sending (930) a request for the image to at least one other host of the mesh computing system (400). When the first host receives (940) notification that at least a second host holds the image, the first host downloads (960) the image from the second host to the first host. The first host creates (970) a container from the image. A host at a node (636; 700) and a mesh computing system (400) are also provided.

Systems and methods for managing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are disclosed. Systems may involve automatically generating a honeypot. For example, the system may include one or more memory units storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include receiving, from a client device, a call to an API node and classifying the call as unauthorized. The operation may include sending the call to a node-imitating model associated with the API node and receiving, from the node-imitating model, synthetic node output data. The operations may include sending a notification based on the synthetic node output data to the client device.
