An example method includes receiving a plurality of data request specifications from a plurality of user endpoint devices of requesting users, aggregating a subset of the plurality of data request specifications which share a similarity into a super request, retrieving a plurality of datasets, wherein the plurality of datasets is needed to fulfill the super request, aggregating the plurality of datasets into a single data superset, and delivering the single data superset to the plurality of user endpoint devices of the requesting users via a data pipeline, where the delivering includes segregating the single data superset so that each user endpoint device of the plurality of user endpoint devices of the requesting users receives a portion of the single data superset corresponding to one data request specification of the plurality of data request specifications that was submitted by the each user endpoint device.

Secure pipeline-based data delivery

A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a first ontology of a first type of data pipeline component, map the first ontology to a second ontology for a second type of data pipeline component that is stored in a catalog of data pipeline component types, provide a second data schema for the second type of data pipeline component as a template for a first data schema for the first type of data pipeline component, and add the first type of data pipeline component to the catalog of data pipeline component types, where the adding comprises storing the first ontology and the first data schema for the first type of data pipeline component in the catalog of data pipeline component types.

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to managing enterprise software licenses for virtual network functions ('VNFs'). According to one aspect disclosed herein, a system can acquire a software license for a software asset to be instantiated and used by a cloud computing environment associated with an enterprise. The system can prepare, with an enterprise anchor point ('EAP') module managed by a vendor of the software asset, a certificate validation process that uses an enterprise security certificate to ensure the software license is valid for an execution instance of the software asset. The system can instantiate the execution instance of the software asset in the cloud computing environment. The system can validate, by the EAP module, the enterprise security certificate to ensure the software asset is instantiated and used in accordance with the software license.

Managing enterprise software licenses for virtual network functions

A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a first request for delivery of a first data set to a first destination, map the first request to a first information model, obtain a second request for delivery of a second data set to a second destination, map the second request to a second information model, and identify that a portion of data is part of both data sets. The processing system may next determine a plan for configuring data pipeline components for delivering the first data set to the first destination and the second data set to the second destination, the plan comprising: a combination of the first information model and the second information model, and at least one modification to the combination. The processing system may then configure the data pipeline components in accordance with the plan.

Data blending for multiple data pipelines

A method may include obtaining a state diagram of a software management system, wherein the software management system manages at least a first software and configuring a license usage management system based on the state diagram.
