A method includes: receiving, by a network data analytics function entity, a first message that is sent by an application function entity and that includes a measurement event and an identity ID of an application; obtaining a first measurement parameter based on the measurement event; receiving, by the network data analytics function entity, a notification message that is sent by a terminal and that is used to indicate the network data analytics function entity to perform data collection on the application; sending a second message including the ID of the application and the first measurement parameter to a policy control function entity, and requesting the policy control function entity to send the second measurement parameter to the terminal.

A first server device obtains first device information of the first server device. The first device information may include an event or a device identifier. The first server device determines a first condition corresponding to the first device information of the first server device, and performs a first processing action corresponding to the first device information when determining that the first device information meets the first condition.

A technology is described for determining compliance with security technical implementation guide (STIG) standards. An example of the technology can include identifying a STIG standard that may be applicable to a system component included in a computer system. The STIG standard can be obtained from a security technical implementation guide which specifies security standards for securing computer systems against unauthorized access. A configuration compliance package can be generated to evaluate a configuration setting of the system component for compliance to the STIG standard, and the configuration compliance package can be output to enable a determination of compliance of the configuration setting with the STIG standard.

Techniques are disclosed for providing a Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller with real-time or near-real time visibility of the operation of data center fabrics to determine whether the DCI was properly configured. For example, an SDN controller receives high-level configuration data that describes a desired state of a network managed by the SDN controller at a high level of abstraction. The SDN controller applies a transformation function to the high-level configuration data to generate a low-level configuration data for network devices configured to implement the desired state of the network. SDN controller configures the SDN controller as a peer to the network devices to obtain one or more routes exchanged between the network devices. The SDN controller sends the low-level configuration data to the network devices to cause the network devices to implement the desired state of the network.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5.sup.th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). The disclosure relates to an apparatus for resource adjustment in a cloud system, and a method for operating the apparatus. The method includes receiving status information indicating operation performance for a management or control plane (MCP) and one or more user workloads or applications (UWAs) in a host server. The method also includes determining an action related to the resource adjustment based on the status information. The method further includes performing, for the MCP and the one or more UWAs, the action related to the determined resource adjustment.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing a platform for micro-service-based applications with unified management of infrastructure and client containers. An exemplary system may comprise the platform running on at least one computing device. The platform may comprise at least one client micro-service container and a plurality of infrastructure micro-service containers. Each infrastructure micro-service container may run infrastructure services for the at least one client micro-service container and for other infrastructure micro-service containers, wherein infrastructure micro-service containers are used by the platform to run client micro-service containers. The platform may also comprise a single unified management software layer that is responsible for unified management of the plurality of infrastructure micro-service containers and the at least one client micro-service container.

A data collection and processing method, apparatus, and system, where the system includes a data processing apparatus configured to: receive data that is in a format of a first mechanism and that is sent by a network device, preprocess the data; convert the preprocessed data into data in a format of a second mechanism; and send the data in the format of the second mechanism to a data collection and analysis apparatus. The data collection and analysis apparatus is configured to perform analysis based on the data after receiving the data sent by the data processing apparatus.
