A method for fetching a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed, using tunnel devices serving as intermediate devices. The client device accesses an acceleration server to receive a list of available tunnel devices. The requested content is partitioned into slices, and the client device sends a request for the slices to the available tunnel devices. The tunnel devices in turn fetch the slices from the data server, and send the slices to the client device, where the content is reconstructed from the received slices. A client device may also serve as a tunnel device, serving as an intermediate device to other client devices. Similarly, a tunnel device may also serve as a client device for fetching content from a data server. The selection of tunnel devices to be used by a client device may be in the acceleration server, in the client device, or in both. The partition into slices may be overlapping or non-overlapping, and the same slice (or the whole content) may be fetched via multiple tunnel devices.

Some embodiments provide a method that receives (i) definition of a group of virtual datacenters and (ii) addition of at least two virtual datacenters to the group. Each virtual datacenter is defined in a public cloud and includes a set of network management components and a set of network endpoints connected by a logical network that is managed by the network management components of the virtual datacenter. Based on the definition of the group, the method configures a gateway router to which each of the virtual datacenters of the group connect. The gateway router is for routing traffic between the virtual datacenters of the group. The method also configures, at each respective virtual datacenter, a respective router to route data traffic between the respective virtual datacenter and the other virtual datacenters to route traffic for the other virtual datacenters to the gateway router.

Techniques are described herein that are capable of registering a user device with a cloud-based management service using an intermediate cloud storage. For instance, the intermediate cloud storage may store an encrypted data blob including information that identifies the user device. The intermediate cloud storage or a registration system may decrypt the encrypted data blob so that the registration system may use the decrypted data blob to register the user device with the cloud-based management service. For instance, the registration system may retrieve the encrypted or decrypted data blob from the intermediate cloud storage by providing a requisite secret to the intermediate cloud storage. The requisite secret may be provided to the registration system by the user device (e.g., via a matrix barcode, such as a QR code).

Differentiated sidecars in a service mesh may be provided. A first routing rule includes a first plurality of weights to be associated with a first plurality of data paths of a first microservice instance may be received. Next, first mapping between a first set of features associated with the first microservice instance and the first plurality of weights may be determined. Then a second microservice instance may be detected and a second set of features associated with the second microservice instance may be detected. A second routing rule comprising a second plurality of weights to be associated with a second plurality of data paths of the second microservice instance may be determined. The second plurality of weights may be determined such that a second mapping between the second set of features and the second plurality of weights imitates the first mapping.

The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for automatically providing similar product recommendations for sold-out products promoted on non-merchant publisher sites, wherein the similar product recommendations are filtered for publisher preferences. A computer system with a product database provides a platform that enables non-merchant publishers to search products in the database, create call-to-actions on publisher sites for products in the database, and automatically receive similar product recommendations when end users of the publisher sites attempt to purchase promoted products that are now sold out. Once a publisher creates a call-to-action for a product that subsequently becomes sold out, similar product recommendations are provided without requiring any action on the publisher's part to change the publisher's site. Similar product recommendations are tailored to each publisher to account for publisher preferences. Publisher preferences may be learned by the system based on publisher behavior or inputted by each publisher.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium is provided. The storage medium can store one or more programs including instructions which, when executed by one or more processors in an electronic device with a display, cause the electronic device to use the display to display a user interface of an application program while the application program is running, the user interface having a first height, which is higher than a reference height, and including a content region and an expanded bar region directly above the content region, receive an input for changing the first height of the user interface being displayed to a second height shorter than the reference height, and use the display to switch the expanded bar region, included in the user interface of the application program, into a regular bar region having a smaller area than the area of the expanded bar region, based on receiving the input.
