Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for provisioning network services, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing intelligent network services automation. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive one or more network performance metrics of one or more networks, might receive network usage data associated with the one or more networks, and might analyze, using one or more machine learning techniques, the received one or more network performance metrics and the received network usage data to determine whether the one or more networks can be improved in terms of network efficiency or network operations. Based on a determination that the one or more networks can be improved, the computing system might dynamically reconfigure at least one of one or more network connections within the one or more networks or one or more network resources within the one or more networks.

In various embodiments, a computing system might receive one or more network data associated with one or more networks and might analyze, using one or more machine learning techniques, the received one or more network data to determine how to optimize at least one of the one or more networks or one or more storage services. The computing system might dynamically scale, in real-time, the at least one of the one or more networks or the one or more storage services, based on the analysis.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for provisioning network services, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing intelligent network services automation. In various embodiments, a computing system might actively retrieve one or more network data associated with one or more networks, might classify the retrieved one or more network data, and might analyze, using one or more machine learning techniques, the retrieved one or more network data to determine whether the one or more networks can be improved, based at least in part on the classification. Based on a determination that the one or more networks can be improved, the computing system might dynamically condition the one or more networks.

Abstract: A system for intelligent video streaming a video controller having at least one processor and non-transitory computer readable media having a set of instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive a playback request from a user device for a live stream, determine, from the playback request, whether source streaming content for the live stream is being transcoded, and allocate an available transcoder to transcode the source streaming content. The system further includes a transcoding having at least one processor and non-transitory computer readable media having a set of instructions executable by the at least one processor to join the multicast stream, retrieve the source streaming content, and transcode the source streaming content, and provide transcoded streaming content for delivery to the user device.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing media content delivery. In some embodiments, a globally unique identifier (“GUID”) associated with a particular media content might be embedded in headers of packets of a transport stream of the media content. When the transport stream is received by a user device, the GUID might enable retrieval of the necessary metadata (and/or updates of metadata) for enabling presentation of the media content. Alternatively or additionally, ratings or similar information can likewise be embedded in the headers of packets or I-frames of the transport stream, which enables a user (e.g., parent) to easily block or skip objectionable content from children who may be present. Alternatively or additionally, the transport stream may be combined with auxiliary data streams containing metadata and other associated auxiliary content to create a combined transport stream, to ensure no lost or corrupted media content during transmission.

Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for provisioning network services, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing intelligent network services automation. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive at least one of one or more requests for network services from one or more users or one or more orders for network services from the one or more users, might receive at least one of network performance metrics of networks or network usage data associated with the networks, and might analyze, using machine learning techniques, at least one of the network performance metrics, the network usage data, the one or more requests for network services, the one or more orders for network services, or one or more business rules. The computing system might spin up determined network resources among the at least one of the private network resources or the public network resources, based on the analysis.
