Techniques of network virtualization of containers in cloud-based system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a selection of a host in the computer system to instantiate a container in response to a request from a user. In response to the received selection, the method includes identifying parameters of network operations on the selected host to instantiate the requested container and assigning a network address to the container to be instantiated on the selected host in the computer system, the assigned network address is addressable from outside of the selected host without network name translation. The method can then include transmitting an instruction to the selected host to instantiate the requested container based on the assigned network address.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for supporting partitions in a multitenant application server environment. In accordance with an embodiment, an application server administrator (e.g., a WLS administrator) can create or delete partitions; while a partition administrator can administer various aspects of a partition, for example create resource groups, deploy applications to a specific partition, and reference specific realms for a partition. Resource groups can be globally defined at the domain, or can be specific to a partition. Applications can be deployed to a resource group template at the domain level, or to a resource group scoped to a partition or scoped to the domain. The system can optionally associate one or more partitions with a tenant, for use by the tenant.

Systems and methods directing requests to a particular node in a multi-tiered middleware environment are provided. In one embodiment, traffic requests can be dynamically routed to a desired server, and not be load balanced, based on an identification of the client generating the traffic requests.

The present invention relates to a method for playing on a player of a client device a content streamed in a network, including: (a) receiving from the player a request for a current segment at a first quality level; (b) determining, using a closed loop controller minimizing a difference between a first quality level and a setpoint second quality level, an optimal response delay for providing the requested current segment; and (c) providing the requested current segment from a first buffer at the expiration of said estimated optimal response delay.

A method and system that perform cluster node work assignments for tenants in a multi-tenant system. The method includes selecting a partition of a cluster tenant tracking structure having a hierarchical namespace and virtual nodes representing each tenant by a cluster node foreman controller, searching the selected partition for a tenant that is unlocked in the cluster tenant tracking structure, and initiating work for the tenant by the cluster node.
