A cost estimator system receives a plan, a configuration or proposed changes for a cloud-based infrastructure, and which include data representing one or more computing resources needed for a cloud-based application. A new configuration is generated for the cloud-based infrastructure incorporating the plan, configuration or proposed changes. A price resolver resolves a price of the resources that are part of the new configuration, and requests, from one or more cloud providers associated with the new configuration, price data for the resolved resources. The cost estimator system then generates, based on the price data received by the price resolver, a cost estimate for the new configuration of the cloud-based infrastructure.

Techniques discussed herein relate to providing composable edge devices. In some embodiments, a user request specifying a set of services to be executed at a cloud-computing edge device may be received by a computing device operated by a cloud computing provider. A manifest may be generated in accordance with the user request. The manifest may specify a configuration for the cloud-computing edge device. Another request can be received specifying the same or a different set of services to be executed at another edge device. Another manifest which specifies the configuration for that edge device may be generated and subsequently used to provision the request set of services on that device. In this manner, manifests can be used to compose the platform to be utilized at any given edge device.

A method includes obtaining a first service experience data set of a service, where each piece of first service experience data in the first service experience data set indicates service quality of all users or a plurality of users in a network, wherein the service is executed by the users, and the service is run in the network, obtaining information about a first service quality requirement of the service, where the information about the first service quality requirement indicates a requirement on the first service experience data, and determining a second network data set of the network based on the first service experience data set, a first network data set of the network, and the information about the first service quality requirement.

System and methods include obtaining data, over the Internet, associated with a plurality of Wi-Fi networks each Wi-Fi network having one or more access points and each Wi-Fi network being associated with a customer of one or more service providers; aggregating and filtering the data; analyzing the aggregated and filtered data for Wi-Fi metric based alarms, each Wi-Fi metric based alarm being associated with detection of one of an offline Wi-Fi network of the plurality of Wi-Fi networks, an offline node of the Wi-Fi network, instability of the Wi-Fi network, congestion in the Wi-Fi network, and interference in the Wi-Fi network; determining the Wi-Fi metric based alarms based on the analyzing; and performing one or more actions based on the determined Wi-Fi metric based alarms.

A device may receive information associated with a service chain to be implemented in association with a flow. The information associated with the service chain may include a source network address associated with the flow, a destination network address associated with the flow, a set of protocols associated with the flow, and a set of network services, of the service chain, to be implemented in association with the flow. The device may implement the service chain in association with the flow. The device may receive network traffic information associated with the flow based on implementing the service chain in association with the flow. The device may modify the service chain based on the network traffic information associated with the flow to permit a modified service chain to be implemented in association with the flow.

A method and system corrects a content delivery infrastructure. The method of the system includes receiving a request to resolve reported issues for the content delivery infrastructure, collecting content delivery metrics for the content delivery infrastructure, executes a language transformer model on the request and the content delivery metrics to generate a set of possible resolutions with confidence ratings, and implementing an automated solution based on a resolution from the set of possible resolutions, in response to the resolution having a confidence rating above a threshold.

This application provides a network slice configuration method, apparatus, and system, and pertains to the field of wireless communications technologies. The method includes: after receiving a management request of a network slice, obtaining or determining, by a network slice manager, network resource information corresponding to a subnet included in the network slice, and then sending, in a form of a subnet management request to a subnet manager, the network resource information corresponding to the subnet, so that the subnet manager configures the corresponding subnet based on the network resource information corresponding to the subnet. In this application, network slice configuration efficiency can be improved.
