Techniques are disclosed for implementing emergency calling with a telephony application. In some examples, an application that executes on a user device provides voice communication functionality. Where a user attempts to contact an emergency number via this application (e.g., 911), the application can first determine whether the application is executing on a mobile phone or on a tablet. Where the application is executing on a mobile phone, the application can invoke a telephone dialer functionality provided by the mobile device to call the emergency service. Where the application is executing on a tablet, the application can access the emergency service via a uniform resource name for the emergency service.

Techniques are provided for software deployment workforce selection using security-based policy selection. One method comprises obtaining security skillset grades for workforce personnel associated with a software deployment pipeline; obtaining workforce selection policies that specify a security skillset grade required for workforce personnel; identifying, for a given microservice of an application, a given workforce selection policy applicable to the given microservice, wherein the given workforce selection policy is identified based on a security weight assigned to the given microservice, by aggregating one or more security weights for application programming interfaces of the given microservice; selecting workforce personnel to perform tasks related to the given microservice based on a comparison of the security skillset grades for the workforce personnel and the security skillset grade required for workforce personnel specified in the given workforce selection policy; and initiating at least one automated action based on a result of the selecting.
