Examples allocating resources to virtual network functions (VNFs). Some examples include monitoring information associated with a set of VNFs that includes a set of VNF instances. A resource allocation event may be predicted for a VNF instance based on the monitored information and a resource flexing model that is developed using a capacity metric of the VNF instance. A resource flexing plan may be generated based on the resource allocation event and an order of the set of VNFs in a service function chain.

Virtual network function resource allocation

Examples of federated virtual datacenter apparatus are described. In an example, at least two virtual datacenter instances are provided in respective different network broadcast domains and an overlay network encompasses the respective different broadcast domains. An Internet Protocol (IP) address manager assigns IP addresses network devices associated with the plurality of virtual datacenter instances so as to avoid IP address conflicts between virtual datacenter instances.

Federated virtual datacenter apparatus

The technique includes determining parameters of a cloud platform associated with an edge computing service associated with a network. The technique includes deploying the cloud platform, including configuring equipment external to the network and configuring equipment of the network.

Deploying network-based cloud platforms on end equipment

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that when executed cause the processor to receive first data from a first data provider in a cloud platform, receive second data from a second data provider in the cloud platform, the second data being a different type of data than the first data, and the first data and the second data pertaining to network elements in the cloud platform. The instructions may also cause the processor to normalize the first data and the second data and based on an analysis of the normalized first data and the second data, identify an action to be executed in the cloud platform. The instructions may further cause the processor to instruct a dispatcher to execute the action.

Management of network elements in a cloud platform

Examples provided herein describe a method for managing virtualized network service bundles. For example, a physical processor may implement machine readable instructions to receive a first data packet in a virtual network, determine a first type of the first data packet, determine a first active virtualized network service bundle instance associated with a first virtualized network service bundle that handles the first type of data packet, and direct the first data packet to the first active virtualized network service bundle instance. In some examples, the first virtualized network service bundle may comprise a first set of virtual network functions, and the first virtualized network service bundle may be associated with a set of active virtualized network service bundles instances, where the set of active virtualized network service bundle instances may comprise the first active virtualized network service bundle instance.

Managing virtualized network service bundles

Examples relate to determining virtual network function configurations. In one example, a computing device may receive a virtual network function specifying a particular function to be performed by at least one virtual machine; identify a particular performance metric for the virtual network function; determine, using the particular performance metric and a default resource configuration, a first infrastructure configuration specifying a value for each of a plurality of infrastructure options, each of the plurality of infrastructure options specifying a feature of the at least one virtual machine; and determine, using the particular performance metric and the first infrastructure configuration, a first resource configuration specifying a value for each of a plurality of virtualized hardware resources for the at least one virtual machine.

Determining virtual network function configurations

A system receives a request to filter access by a client device to content over a network and causes access to network content by said client device to be filtered.

Filtering access to network content

A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed for computer assisted document modification. One embodiment is a method for software execution. The method automatically extracts articles, in a first phase, from documents to generate different zones of the articles. Different zones of the extracted articles are displayed. In a second phase, plural different zones are manually modified with a document correction tool.
