Bandwidth awareness in a link aggregation group

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request to establish a path for a data stream from the first network apparatus to a second network apparatus, where the request is associated with a requested bandwidth for the data stream, and where the first network apparatus and the second network apparatus are connected by a link aggregation group including a number of physical links, accessing bandwidth information representing a number of remaining bandwidths of the respective multiple of physical links, determining that the requested bandwidth is not satisfied by any of the number of remaining bandwidths of the number of physical links, and sending a response rejecting the request to establish the path.

Orchestrating edge service workloads across edge hierarchies

Computing resources are managed in a computing environment comprising a computing service provider and an edge computing network. The edge computing network comprises computing and storage devices configured to extend computing resources of the computing service provider to remote users of the computing service provider. The edge computing network collects capacity and usage data for computing and network resources at the edge computing network. The capacity and usage data is sent to the computing service provider. Based on the capacity and usage data, the computing service provider, using a cost function, determines a distribution of workloads pertaining to a processing pipeline that has been partitioned into the workloads. The workloads can be executed at the computing service provider or the edge computing network.

CLOUD-NATIVE WORKLOAD OPTIMIZATION

Techniques for orchestrating workloads based on policy to operate in optimal host and/or network proximity in cloud-native environments are described herein. The techniques may include receiving flow data associated with network paths between workloads hosted by a cloud-based network. Based at least in part on the flow data, the techniques may include determining that a utilization of a network path between a first workload and a second workload is greater than a relative utilization of other network paths between the first workload and other workloads. The techniques may also include determining that reducing the network path would optimize communications between the first workload and the second workload without adversely affecting communications between the first workload and the other workloads. The techniques may also include causing at least one of a redeployment or a network path re-routing to reduce the networking proximity between the first workload and the second workload.

CLUSTER CAPACITY MANAGEMENT FOR HYPER CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE UPDATES

Disclosed are various implementations of cluster capacity management for infrastructure updates. In some examples, cluster hosts for a cluster can be scheduled for an update. A datacenter level workload can invoke an enter cluster maintenance mode component of a datacenter level resource scheduler by identifying a specified cluster of a datacenter. The datacenter level workload can receive an add host command to add a host for the host level update. Once the host level update is performed on hosts of the specified cluster, the datacenter level workload invokes an exit cluster maintenance mode component and implements a cluster scaling decision.

Establishing communication links using routing protocols

Systems and methods for facilitating shared access-right evaluation using linked communication channels are provided. A first communication can be received over a first communication link from a first user device, and a second communication can be received over a second communication link from a second user device. The first and second communications can include requests for the assignment of access rights. Map data can be generated and transmitted to each of the first and second user devices. Each user device can display a visual representation of access-right data. Further, a communication session can be facilitated between the first user device and the second user device. The communication session can be presented on the visual representation for each user device so that the first user and the second user can collaboratively evaluate access rights.
