Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

Various methods are provided for facilitating the assignment of a DNS name to load balancers in a dynamically partitioned cluster environment. One example method may comprise receiving cluster configuration information from a cluster configuration observer, the cluster configuration information comprising information indicative of each of a plurality of instances of running application and one or more servers and associated ports to which at least one of the plurality of instances is bound, receiving a request from a first level load balancer requiring a call to the first application, determining, based on the cluster configuration information, to which port the instance of the first application is bound, and transmitting the request to the port to which the instance of the first application is bound.

Methods and systems for assessing internet exposure of a cloud-based workload are disclosed. A method comprises accessing at least one cloud provider API to determine a plurality of entities capable of routing traffic in a virtual cloud environment associated with a target account containing the workload, querying the at least one cloud provider API to determine at least one networking configuration of the entities, building a graph connecting the plurality of entities based on the networking configuration, accessing a data structure identifying services publicly accessible via the Internet and capable of serving as an internet proxy; integrating the identified services into the graph; traversing the graph to identify at least one source originating via the Internet and reaching the workload, and outputting a risk notification associated with the workload. Systems and computer-readable media implementing the above method are also disclosed.

A discovery application on a computing system is provided. The discovery application receives a user input, which is for discovery of resources associated with a cloud operating system of a cloud computing system. The user input includes an authentication credential and account information associated with the cloud operating system. Based on the received input, the discovery application executes a discovery pattern comprising operations for the discovery of resources. The cloud operating system includes a group of services to access such resources. At least one of the operations corresponds to an API call to an API endpoint associated with a service of the group of services. The discovery application receives a response to the API call from the cloud operating system. The response includes a payload of information associated with the resources. The discovery application updates, based on the received response, one or more configuration items in a configuration management database.

Methods and systems are directed to a content services platform. The content services platform may include a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the content services platform to perform a method. The method may include receiving a request to initiate a shared session from a first client, the request including a first client identifier. Based on the received request, a session identifier may be provided to the first client associated with the first client identifier. A request from a second client may be received and may be associated with the session identifier. Thus, when message data from the first client is received, the message data may be added to a queue associated with the session identifier such that the message data may be provided from the queue to the second client based on the session identifier.

A distributed processing method based on a consistency protocol is provided. The method includes: transmitting a decree prepare request including a first decree number, the decree prepare request requesting other nodes to promise to no longer accept a fast write operation initiated by a leader node whose leader number is less than the first decree number, the first decree number representing a leader number of a current node, and the leader number representing a number of a decree at which the current node that becomes a leader node is located; and in response to receiving decree promises from at least a preset quantity of nodes among the other nodes, enabling the fast write operation from a subsequent decree number of a second decree number determined based on the decree promises, each of the decree promises including the first decree number.
