A method for operating a multi-access edge computing (MEC) system includes establishing, between two or more MEC providers, an agreement that defines mutual access policies that specify which MEC platforms and which MEC applications and/or services running on the MEC platforms are allowed to be exposed among each other and/or to other tenants. The MEC platforms are provisioned with appropriate configurations in accordance with the access policies of the agreement. A discovery process is executed for discovering a MEC platform within a MEC stack of another tenant and a communication link is established with the other tenant's MEC platform.

Typically, a business desires to track and monitor all applications run on its servers. Nonetheless, one or more unauthorized applications may be running on the business's servers, exposing the business to potential regulatory liability and security breaches. Apparatus and methods are provided for isolating and disabling one or more unauthorized applications running on a server. The apparatus may comprise a system including a content-filtering web proxy server configured to filter outgoing requests and data associated with the requests. The system may also include a remediation framework configured to monitor request data in a proxy log stored by the proxy server. The remediation framework may be triggered to perform remedial action when the remediation framework determines that a request and associated data, as stored in the proxy log, meets predetermined conditions. The remediation framework, when triggered, may execute steps to truncate functionality of the unauthorized applications.

Systems and methods for analyzing network parameters in a data communications network so as to maintain a desired Quality of Experience (QoE) of at least one subscriber.

Methods, systems and articles of manufacture to generate file transfer monitoring criteria are disclosed. An example method obtains a file transfer log file from a first network entity and obtains from the transfer log file, file transfer metadata that is associated with file transfer activity between the first network entity and a second network entity. The file transfer metadata is used to generate a file transfer monitoring criterion that is associated with selectively monitoring the file transfer activity between the first network entity and the second network entity. Service level criteria associated with the file transfer event is automatically updated based on the file transfer monitoring criterion.

Systems and techniques that facilitate on-the-fly reorganization of directed acyclic graph nodes of a computing service for high integration flexibility are provided. In various embodiments, an input component can receive from a computing client a requested response time to be satisfied by a computing service. In various embodiments, a node property component can access an execution matrix. In various cases, the execution matrix can list execution properties of a plurality of nodes corresponding to the computing service. In various instances, the plurality of nodes can respectively perform a plurality of sub-operations associated with the computing service. In various aspects, the plurality of nodes can include one or more multi-level-of-execution subsets of nodes. In various cases, each multi-level-of-execution subset can contain at least two nodes that facilitate a same sub-operation at different levels of resource utilization. In various embodiments, a node identification component can identify a set of nodes from the plurality of nodes listed in the execution matrix, such that the identified set can include one node from each of the multi-level-of-execution subsets, and such that the execution properties of the identified set can collectively satisfy the requested response time. In various aspects, the node identification component can build for the computing client a workflow corresponding to the computing service based on the identified set.

Technologies for determining a set of edge resources to offload a workload from a client compute device based on a brokering logic provided by a service provider include a device that includes circuitry that is in communication with edge resources. The circuitry is to receive a brokering logic from a service provider receive a request from a client compute device, wherein the request includes a function to be used to execute the request and one or more parameters associated with the client compute device, determine the one or more parameters, select, as a function of the one or more parameters and the brokering logic, a physical implementation to perform the function, wherein the physical implementation indicates a set of edge resources and a performance level for each edge resource of the set of edge resources, and perform, in response to a selection of the physical implementation, the request using the set of edge resources associated with the physical implementation.

According to one or more embodiments, a node is provided where the node is configured to: transform a plurality of service level agreement, SLA, values into a plurality of uniform language values associated with at least a first quality of service, QoS, composite metric, and optionally generate a first end-to-end composite SLA based at least on a first set of the plurality of uniform language values.

A transaction manager can obtain a first lease that dedicates a set of virtual resources to the transaction manager for a first time interval. The transaction manager can send a commit request to one or more resource managers regarding a first transaction. The transaction manager can store respective responses from each respective resource manager. The transaction manager can determine if each response is affirmative, and, if each response is affirmative, the transaction manager can complete the first transaction.

Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for evaluating and controlling configuration of a build manifest. An application build manifest is discovered and is subjected to parsing process in which one or more components that comprise the application are identified. The build manifest is monitored for changes to the identified components, and a change notification is generated in response to a change in an identified component. Each generated change notification is assigned a classification. The change notifications are applied selectively to update the manifest, wherein the selective update is based on the classification of the change notification.
