Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for providing voice control using multiple digital assistants. In some embodiments, a voice platform operates to receive a voice input from a user. The voice platform selects a digital assistant from a plurality of digital assistants based on a trigger word. The voice platform then generates an intent from the voice input using the selected digital assistant. The voice platform then transmits the intent to a media device for processing.

Techniques for NAT-based steering of traffic in cloud-based networks. The techniques may include establishing, by a frontend node of a network, a connection with a client device. The frontend node may receive, via the connection, a packet including an indication of an identity of a service hosted on a backend node of the network. Based at least in part on the indication, the frontend node may establish a second connection with the backend node. Additionally, the frontend node may store a mapping indicating that packets received from the client device are to be sent to the backend node. The techniques may also include receiving another packet at the frontend node or another frontend node of the network. Based at least in part on the mapping, the frontend node or other frontend node may alter one or more network addresses of the other packet and forward it to the backend node.

Technologies for allocating resources of managed nodes to workloads to balance multiple resource allocation objectives include an orchestrator server to receive resource allocation objective data indicative of multiple resource allocation objectives to be satisfied. The orchestrator server is additionally to determine an initial assignment of a set of workloads among the managed nodes and receive telemetry data from the managed nodes. The orchestrator server is further to determine, as a function of the telemetry data and the resource allocation objective data, an adjustment to the assignment of the workloads to increase an achievement of at least one of the resource allocation objectives without decreasing an achievement of another of the resource allocation objectives, and apply the adjustments to the assignments of the workloads among the managed nodes as the workloads are performed. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Methods and systems for processing communication systems are disclosed. A request for a communication session can be analyzed to determine a device or pool of devices to process the communication session. Data associated with the communication session, including session description data, can be analyzed using rules that associate types of data with corresponding processing devices. The rules can be based on levels of complexity associated with the data, and different pools of processing devices can be associated with different levels of complexity. Thus, communication sessions assigned a level of complexity can be matched with pools of devices associated with the same level of complexity.

Techniques for transaction tracking for a high availability architecture are described herein. An aspect includes receiving a first request from a client, the first request corresponding to a start of a transaction having transaction affinity. Another aspect includes, based on receiving the first request from the client, generating a transaction tracking token. Another aspect includes sending the first request with the transaction tracking token to a gateway. Another aspect includes receiving a first response corresponding to the first request from the gateway, the first response including middleware instance information corresponding to a middleware instance, wherein a plurality of subsequent requests from the client corresponding to the transaction are processed by the middleware instance corresponding to the middleware instance information.

The disclosure provides a system, computer readable medium, and computer-implemented method for managing data access. The method includes obtaining a data access request from a requestor for client data redundantly stored in at least two storage providers that are unknown to the requestor; identifying a service level objective for servicing the data access request; ranking the at least two storage providers based on the service level objective to identify one of the at least two storage providers to service the data access request; and providing the requestor with access to a copy of the client data using the one of the at least two storage providers.

Improving load distribution and consistency is provided. A device intermediary to clients and servers can maintain bit values indicative of server availability stored in indices arranged in various levels. A lowest level comprises indices corresponding to a list of servers repeated multiple times. Each index in a higher level maps to a set of indices in a lower level. The device can receive a request from a client to access a server. The device can identify an index in a highest level. The device can determine a second index in the highest level that is after the index in the highest level and has a bit value indicating server availability. The device can identify an index in the lowest level mapping to the second index in the highest level. The device can select a server corresponding to the index in the lowest level.
