    Abstract: Techniques are described for using observability to allocate and deploy workloads for execution by computing resources in a cloud network. The workloads may be allocated and deployed to the computing resources based on metrics. The workloads may be deployed to the computing resources, based on the computing resources providing a number of types of observability that matches the number of metrics. The workloads may be deployed to the computing resources, further based on each of the computing resources matching a corresponding one of the metrics. Deployment of the workloads may be further based on availability of the computing resources. The workloads may be redeployed to other computing resources that provide different types of observability associated with the metrics, in comparison to the initial computing resources. The workloads may be allocated and deployed based on intent based descriptions indicating characteristics utilized to determine types of metrics for providing observability.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for using a domain-specific language (DSL) to express and compile serverless network functions, and optimizing the deployment location for the serverless network functions on network devices. In some examples, the serverless network functions may be expressed entirely in the DSL (e.g., via a text-based editor, a graphics-based editor, etc.), where the DSL is a computer language specialized to a particular domain, such as a network function domain. In additional examples, the serverless network functions may be expressed and compiled using a DSL in combination with a general-purpose language (GSL). Once the serverless network function have been expressed and/or compiled, the techniques of this disclosure further include determining an optimized network component on which the serverless network function is to execute, and deploying the serverless function to the optimized network component.

    Abstract: Techniques for transferring address rights (e.g., internet protocol address(es), media access control address(es), etc.) amongst devices in a data center network fabric. A data center (DC) authority (e.g., network controller and/or a service controller) of a data center network fabric may determine that a device in the network is to communicate on an address in the network. The DC authority may create and sign a token that indicates a verifiable authorization to communicate on the address. The token may allow any device that posses the token to communicate on the address, following verification from an associated network switch. Additionally, the token may be signed by a device in the network in possession of the token, and delegated to another device in the data center network fabric following a migration of a service from one server to another, for example.

    Abstract: Techniques for creating consent contracts for devices that indicate whether the devices consent to receiving network-based communications from other devices. Further, the techniques include enforcing the consent contracts such that network-based communications are either allowed or disallowed in the network-communications layer prior to the network communications reaching the devices. Rather than simply allowing a device to communicate with any other device over a network, the techniques described herein include building in consent for network-based communications where the consent is consulted at one or more points in a communication process to make informed decisions about network-based traffic.

    Abstract: Methods and architecture for load-correcting requests for serverless functions to reduce latency of serverless computing are provided. An example technique exploits knowledge that a given server node does not have a serverless function ready to run or is overloaded. Without further processing overhead or communication, the server node shifts the request to a predetermined alternate node without assessing a current state of the alternate node, an efficient decision based on probability that a higher chance of fulfillment exists at the alternate node than at the current server, even with no knowledge of the alternate node. In an implementation, the server node refers the request but also warms up the requested serverless function, due to likelihood of repeated requests or in case the request is directed back. An example device has a front-end redirecting server and a backend serverless system in a single component.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a server generates expected levels of capability associated with possible combinations of settings for first and second adjustable parameters for an aspect of a software image feature. The server receives an indication of a desired level of capability for the aspect of the software image feature and, based on the indication, identifies a particular expected level of capability associated with a particular possible combination of the settings for the first and second adjustable parameters. The particular expected level of capability is closer to a desired level of capability for an aspect of a software image feature than the other expected levels of capability associated with the possible combinations of the settings for the first and second adjustable parameters. The server produces a software image that includes the particular possible combination of the settings for the first and second adjustable parameters.
