Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for an election procedure, in a high availability (“HA”) environment, for a backup controller to assume operations performed by a master controller in the event that the master controller becomes unreachable. The master controller may be associated with (e.g., provisioned on) the same set of hardware as one or more worker nodes, and may control operation of the one or more worker nodes. The election procedure may be performed based on performance metrics, location, or efficiency metrics associated with candidate backup controllers (e.g., cloud-based backup controllers), including performance of communications between particular backup controllers and the one or more worker nodes.

Abstract: A device may receive and store credentials identifying security levels of users for access to functionalities of an on-premises device, and may receive a credential of a user and a request to access a functionality of the on-premises device. The device may determine whether a security level of the credential matches a first security level of the credentials, and may reject the request when the security level fails to match the first security level. The device may determine, when the security level matches the first security level, whether a computing resource of the on-premises device matches a computing resource of the first security level, and may provide the user with access to the computing resource when the computing resource matches the computing resource of the first security level. The device may reject the request when the computing resource fails to match the computing resource of the first security level.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for dynamic resource slice allocation are provided. A bidding engine dynamically tracks available network slices and available edge computing resources to generate a current list of resource slices corresponding to combinations of available network slices and available edge computing resources. A bidding auction is conducted for the current list of resource slices. A user equipment device is determined to be a winner of the bidding auction for a resource slice based upon a bidding request from the user equipment device. In this way, the user equipment device is provide with access to the resource slice based upon a determination that the user equipment device won the bidding auction.

Abstract: A system described herein may determine that a first measure of likelihood of demand for a particular service from a first set of edge computing devices exceeds a first threshold, and may instruct the first set of edge computing devices to provision resources to provide the particular service. The system may subsequently determine that a second measure of likelihood of demand for the particular service from a second set of edge computing devices exceeds a second threshold, the second set of edge computing devices being a subset of the first set of edge computing devices, and may initiate a service state synchronization operation with respect to the second set of edge computing devices. The system may select a particular edge computing device, of the second set of edge computing devices, to provide the particular service to a User Equipment (“UE”).
