Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automatically generating workflows across cloud services involving user-controlled components are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes processing a user request to perform configuration operations on cloud services components, wherein at least one of the cloud services components is user-controlled; generating one or more automation files containing one or more workflows related to configuration operations on the cloud services components; outputting at least a portion of the one or more automation files containing at least a portion of the workflow(s) related to configuration operations on the at least one user-controlled cloud services component to at least one secure storage area accessible to at least one user via one or more cryptographic techniques; processing feedback pertaining to user execution of the at least a portion of the one or more automation files; and performing one or more automated actions based on the feedback.

Automatically generating workflows across cloud services involving user-controlled components

A cable free networking device stacking system includes networking devices that are each configured to operate as part of a networking device stack, and at least one LiFi device included on each of the networking devices. A first LiFi device on a first networking device in the plurality of networking devices transmits networking device stack data communications by receiving first electrical data communications from the first networking device, converting the first electrical data communications to first optical data communications, and wirelessly transmitting the first optical data communications to a second LiFi device included on a second networking device in the plurality of networking devices. The first LiFi device also receives networking device stack data communications by wirelessly receiving second optical data communications from the second LiFi device, converting the second optical data communications to second electrical data communications, and transmitting the second electrical data communications to the first networking device.

Techniques are disclosed for mediating concurrent control of a radio access network (RAN) network function by multiple different SMOs. A controller at the RAN network function can be adapted to initiate concurrent sessions between the network function and multiple different service management and orchestration entities (SMOs). The controller can mediate application of different SMO policies by initiating sessions with SMOs that have policy alignment, and/or by prioritizing among different SMO policies and applying higher priority SMO policies in the event of SMO policy conflicts. A variety of techniques are disclosed for initiating, managing, and if necessary terminating concurrent sessions between the network function and multiple different SMOs.

Distributed and federated radio access network configuration management

A resilient TCP/IP connection system includes a first computing device coupled to a second computing device. The second computing device transmits a first TCP connection establishment communication that includes a first computing device TCP connection identifier to the first computing device. In response, the second computing device receives a second TCP connection establishment communication that includes a second computing device TCP connection identifier from the first computing device, and establishes a first resilient TCP connection with the first computing device. The second computing device then provides the second computing device TCP connection identifier in each TCP/IP communication transmitted to the first computing device via the first resilient TCP connection, and identifies the first computing device TCP connection identifier in each TCP/IP communication received from the first computing device via the first resilient TCP connection.
