A software upgrade to be deployed by a cloud extension agent is received by a remote network management platform, the cloud extension agent running locally on a network and initiating an outbound connection to the remote network management platform through a firewall of the network. A command is generated for the software upgrade, the command comprising an identification of a source of the software upgrade. The command is provided to the cloud extension agent, wherein providing the command causes the cloud extension agent to acquire the software upgrade from the identified source and deploy the software upgrade.

Deploying upgrades for cloud services

A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include extracting a first multiple dimensional dataset and a second multiple dimensional dataset and encoding the first multiple dimensional dataset into a first encoded dataset and the second multiple dimensional dataset into a second encoded dataset. The operations may include combining the first encoded dataset and the second encoded dataset into a combined encoded dataset and conveying the combined encoded dataset to a user.

Aspects of a storage device are provided that handle pairing and atomic processing of fused commands received from submission queues based on data structures such as a linked lists which the controller respectively associates with each submission queue. A memory of the storage device includes a plurality of data structures each associated with a different submission queue. A controller of the storage device receives a first command for a fused operation from a submission queue, stores the first command in a data structure, receives a second command for the fused operation from the submission queue, determines whether the second command corresponds to the fused operation, stores the second command in the data structure in response to the determination, and performs the fused operation in response to storing the second command. As a result, fused command handling may be achieved with minimal impact to queue arbitration logic and command latency.

Fused command handling

A cloud extension agent can be provided on a customer premise for interfacing, via an outbound secure connection, cloud based services.

Distributed cloud agents for managing cloud services

Some embodiments provide a centralized overlay-network cloud gateway and a set of centralized services in a transit virtual cloud network (VCN) connected to multiple other compute VCNs hosting compute nodes (VMs, containers, etc.) that are part of (belong to) the overlay network. The centralized overlay-network cloud gateway provides connectivity between compute nodes of the overlay network (e.g., a logical network spanning multiple VCNs) and compute nodes in external networks. Some embodiments use the centralized overlay-network cloud gateway to provide transitive routing (e.g., routing through a transit VCN) in the absence of direct peering between source and destination VCNs. The overlay network, of some embodiments, uses the same subnetting and default gateway address for each compute node as the cloud provider network provided by the virtual private cloud provider.

Transitive routing in public cloud

Some embodiments provide a method for a managed forwarding element (MFE) executing on a data compute node (DCN) that operates on a host computer in a public datacenter. The MFE implements a logical network that connects multiple DCNs within the public datacenter. The method receives a packet, directed to the DCN, that (i) has a first logical network source address and (ii) is encapsulated with a second source address associated with an underlying public datacenter network. The method determines whether the first logical network source address is a valid source address for the packet based on a mapping table that maps logical network addresses to underlying public datacenter network addresses. When the first source address is not a valid source address for the packet, the method drops the packet.
