Various approaches for deploying and controlling distributed compute operations with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units are disclosed. For example, a payload may be received at a networking infrastructure device. Here, the payload is part of a workload that is routed through the networking infrastructure device from a first network node to a second network node. The networking infrastructure device may obtain a workload graph for the workload with vertices of the workload graph specifying functions. The networking infrastructure device may apply a function to the payload in accordance with the workload graph to transform the payload into a processed payload. The processed payload may be transmitted towards the second network node.

Various approaches for service mech switching, including the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar networked processing units, are disclosed. For example, a packet that includes a service request for a service may be received at a networking infrastructure device. The service may include an application that spans multiple nodes in a network. An outbound interface of the networking infrastructure device may be selected through which to route the packet. The selection of the outbound interface may be based on a service component of the service request in the packet and network metrics that correspond to the service. The packet may then be transmitted using the outbound interface.

Various approaches for deploying and controlling distributed compute operations with the use of infrastructure processing units (IPUs) and similar network-addressable processing units are disclosed. A device for orchestrating functions in a network compute mesh is configured to receive, at a network-addressable processing unit of a network-addressable processing unit mesh from a requestor device, a computation request to execute a workflow with a set of objectives; query at least one other network-addressable processing units of the network-addressable processing unit mesh using the set of objectives, to determine aspects of available resources and data in the network-addressable processing unit mesh to apply to the workflow; transmit a list of recommended resources available to execute the workflow to the requestor device, the list of recommended resources being ranked based on at least one dimension of the resources; obtain a compute chain from the requestor device, the compute chain describing resource control transitions and data flow provided from the recommended resources and data in the network-addressable processing unit mesh; and schedule the execution of the workflow at one or more network-addressable processing units in the network-addressable processing unit mesh in accordance with the compute chain.

A method for configuring a network service system for performing a network service using AR comprises: at a user device executing an AR cabling application: communicating, to an AR cabling subsystem of the network service system, network service task identification information usable for identifying at least one testing or monitoring case (TMC) definition provisioned within the network service system; receiving, from the AR cabling subsystem of the network service system, cabling instructions based on the network service task identification information, wherein the cabling instructions is for instructing the user to perform a cabling task associated with the at least one TMC definition, wherein the cabling task involves connecting at least one cable to one or more physical ports of a physical resource of the network service system; and providing, via a display and using at least one AR element, the cabling instructions for instructing the user to perform the cabling task.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for deploying enterprise systems in cloud environments. In one implementation, a system for deploying an enterprise system in a cloud environment may include at least one processor configured to provide: one or more first containers hosting at least one application with at least one enterprise function; one or more second containers hosting at least one microservice configured to activate the at least one enterprise function; at least one application programming interface (API) between the at least one microservice and at least one client; and at least one gateway configured to manage access to the at least one API.

A server includes an interface configured to receive a new software content; a processor, configured to responsive to receiving the new software content, create a new rollout associated with the new software content, and identify a plurality of vehicles eligible to receive the new software content, responsive to detecting a first vehicle of the plurality of vehicles being yet to receive an existing software content associated with an existing rollout, generate a combined software content including both the new and existing software content, and associate the first vehicle with the combined software content.

Some embodiments provide a system for implementing a logical network that includes a set of end machines, a first logical middlebox, and a second logical middlebox connected by a set of logical forwarding elements. The system includes a set of nodes. Each of several nodes includes (i) a virtual machine for implementing an end machine of the logical network, (ii) a managed switching element for implementing the set of logical forwarding elements of the logical network, and (iii) a middlebox element for implementing the first logical middlebox of the logical network. The system includes a physical middlebox appliance for implementing the second logical middlebox.

In one embodiment, a method includes a method for provisioning private-cloud server nodes by receiving a request to provision a specified number of server nodes for a private cloud, wherein the request is associated with a user, identifying a plurality of server nodes including (a) the specified number of hypervisor server nodes from a first pool that includes prepared hypervisor server nodes, each of which includes a previously-installed hypervisor, and (b) a management server node from a second pool that includes prepared management server nodes, each of which includes a previously-installed hypervisor and one or more previously-installed management components, configuring the identified server nodes to use a network associated with the user, creating a private cloud that includes the identified server nodes, and providing, to the user, permission to access the identified server nodes.

A method for changing a member in a distributed system, includes requesting, by a first target node, a node address set from a management server, where the node address set includes first addresses of all nodes in the distributed system, sending, by the first target node, a join request to a master node in the distributed system when the node address set does not comprise a second address of the first target node, adding, by the master node, the second address to the node address set, and instructing all slave nodes in the distributed system to add the second address to a corresponding local member list.

Provided in embodiments of the present application are a a key generation and terminal provisioning method, an apparatus, and a device thereof. The method for generating a key includes: sending, by an enrollee, a first request message to a configurator, the first request message comprising a first identifier, and the first identifier used to instruct the configurator to perform a network reconfiguration operation; receiving, by the enrollee, a first message sent by the configurator and including first key information; generating, by the enrollee, a session key according to the first key information; sending, by the enrollee, a second message to the configurator, the second message comprising second key information, thus allowing the configurator to generate the session key according to the second key information. In a process of an enrollee and a configurator performing provisioning for the first time, key information of each other is exchanged to generate a session key required for subsequent network reconfiguration performed on the enrollee, so that when the network reconfiguration is performed on the enrollee, it is unnecessary to perform an authentication process again, thereby improving the network configuration efficiency.
