Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to create objects associated with links to content items shared within a social networking system, the content items from content sources. Content sources having pages on the social networking system fanned by a user are determined. Objects associated with (links to) content items from the content sources having content source representations, such as pages, on the social networking system fanned by the user are collected. An aggregate score for a collected object associated with a link is determined based on popularity of a content item associated with the link within the social networking system and interest of the user in the content item. The collected object associated with the link is provided to be ranked for potential presentation of the link to the user based on satisfaction of a threshold.

Systems and methods for smart publishing

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to provide cloud resource orchestration are disclosed. An example method includes converting, with a processor, a plurality of constraints and a goal for a cloud deployment into a constraint optimization problem, calculating, with the processor, a solution for the constraint optimization problem, and generating instructions to perform cloud resource orchestration for the cloud deployment based on the solution of the constraint optimization problem.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to provide cloud resource orchestration

An aspect of the disclosed technology is a general-purpose platform that may be used to provide resilient cloud services. Tasks may be written as procedures in general-purpose programming languages that directly manipulate resources via control interfaces. In one implementation, resource states, such as router configurations and virtual machine states, associated with a cloud customer that provides communications services, may be abstracted into tables in a relational or semi-structured database. State changes that have been written to the database tables are automatically propagated by the database to appropriate customer physical devices, such as network elements, thereby implementing various customer network operations.

Cloud infrastructure services

The disclosed technology involves the use of relational databases in conjunction with declarative language and network-wide, database abstractions to manage and operate networks. The data model creates a logically centralized database abstraction and access point for managing data relevant to network management. Exemplary managed data includes router configurations, network status and provisioning data. This information resides in a single database system which is tightly integrated with the operational network. Transactional write operations are used to change network configurations, and enforce constraints to detect and prevent policy violations during operation. In accordance with one aspect of the disclosed technology, a network operation is implemented by means of a series of database commands&#x2014;read and/or write&#x2014;from and to database view tables.
