Bidirectional flows of a communication session in a software defined network (SDN) are efficiently managed. A smart switch comprises a digital processing unit (DPU) complex comprising one or more DPUs, and a switching complex comprising one or more network processing units (NPUs). The DPU complex is configured to disaggregate enforcement of policies of the SDN from hosts of the SDN. The switching complex is configured to perform network routing of packets in the SDN. The hosts are implemented on servers communicatively coupled to network interfaces of the SDN. The switching complex is configured to perform policy enforcement of data flows for communication sessions that are offloaded from the DPU complex to the switching complex.

The disclosed system implements techniques to secure communications for injecting a workload (e.g., a container) into a virtual network hosted by a cloud-based platform. Based on a delegation instruction received from a tenant, a virtual network of the tenant can connect to and execute a workload via a virtual machine that is part of a virtual network that belongs to a resource provider. To secure calls and authorize access to the tenant's virtual network, authentication information provided with a call from the virtual network of the resource provider may need to match authorization information made available via a publication service of the cloud-based platform. Additionally or alternatively, an identifier of a NIC used to make a call may need to correspond to a registered name of the resource provider for the call to be authorized. These checks provide increased security by preventing unauthorized calls to the tenant's virtual network.

Based on a delegation instruction received from a tenant, a virtual network of the tenant can connect to and execute a workload via a virtual machine that is part of a virtual network that belongs to a resource provider. To secure calls and authorize access to the tenant's virtual network, authentication information provided in association with a call from the virtual network of the resource provider may need to match authorization information made available via a publication service of the cloud-based platform. Moreover, an identifier of a NIC used to make a call may need to correspond to a registered name of the resource provider for the call to be authorized.

System and method for applying presentation templates with image animation to presentation documents. A processor identifies a presentation document including an image and identifies a characteristic of the image. The processor further selects a presentation template with image animation from a plurality of available presentation templates. The selection of the processor is based on the characteristic of the image. The processor further applies the presentation template with animation of the image to the presentation document to define animation of the image. The processor then outputs the presentation document with the presentation template applied.
