    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that, at a first domain name system (DNS) cluster of a set of DNS clusters, receives a DNS request from a client. The first DNS cluster identifies, based on an identifier of the client in the DNS request, a home DNS cluster of the client. The method forwards the DNS request to the home DNS cluster. The home DNS cluster supplies a DNS response to the client. Identifying the home DNS cluster, in some embodiments, includes performing a hash on the identifier of the client. Supplying the DNS response, in some embodiments, includes receiving a virtual IP (VIP) address associated with one of a plurality of sets of application servers to the client and providing the received VIP address to the client in the DNS response.

    Abstract: Example methods and systems for application security enforcement are described. In one example, a computer system may detect, from a client device, a packet requiring processing by a first server pool; and determine whether the packet is associated with a security attack. In response to determination that the packet is not associated with the security attack, the packet may be steered towards the first server pool to cause processing of the packet by one of multiple first application servers. Otherwise, the packet may be steered towards a second server pool to cause processing of the packet by one of multiple second application servers and to learn attack information associated with the security attack. The multiple second application servers in the second server pool may be capable of mimicking behavior of the multiple first application servers in the first server pool.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of deploying first and second tenant deployable elements to a set of one or more public clouds, the first and second tenant deployable elements being different types of elements. The method identifies first and second sets of performance metrics respectively for first and second sets of candidate resource elements to use to deploy the first and second tenant deployable elements, the two sets of performance metrics being different sets of metrics because the first and second tenant deployable elements being different types of elements, the first set of performance metrics having at least one metric that is not included in the second set of performance metrics. The method uses the different sets of metrics evaluate the first and second sets of candidate resource elements, in order to select one of the first set of candidate resource elements for the first tenant deployable element and to select one of the second set of candidate resource elements for the second tenant deployable element. The method deploys the first and second tenant deployable elements in the set of PCDs by using the selected candidate resource elements.
