    Abstract: A system determines identification information associated with an endpoint device, which is associated with a tenant of the system, and the tenant. The system generates and sends, to the endpoint device, a certificate that includes the identification information. The system receives, from the endpoint device and as part of an attempt by the endpoint device to initiate a dial-out communication session with the system, the certificate. The system causes, based on the certificate, the dial-out communication session to be established and processes the certificate to determine the identification information. The system receives, from the endpoint device and via the dial-out communication session, one or more messages; modifies the one or more messages to include the identification information; and provides the one or more modified messages to facilitate provisioning of services or resources associated with the system to the endpoint device.

    Abstract: A system identifies an intent policy model associated with an initial time. The system updates a data structure to cause the data structure to include one or more portions. Each portion of the data structure is associated with a start time and an end time. Each portion includes: a first delta snapshot that indicates one or more first changes to the intent policy model from the initial time to the start time associated with the portion, and one or more additional delta snapshots that respectively indicate one or more incremental changes to the intent policy model at times from the start time and to the end time associated with the portion of the data structure.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving a plurality of configurations comprising a first configuration for provisioning a first set of network services at a first resource of an edge device and a second configuration for provisioning a second set of network services at the first resource, a first configuration group identifier identifying a configuration group for the first configuration, and a first network performance parameter for the configuration group. The method further includes determining a performance factor for the first resource providing the first set of network services to one or more client devices. The method further includes, in response to determining that the performance factor does not satisfy the first network performance parameter for the configuration group and that the first configuration group identifier identifies the configuration group for the first configuration, moving the first configuration from the first resource to a second resource of the edge device.

    Abstract: A controller device manages a plurality of network devices. The controller device includes one or more processing units configured to receive an indication of a stateful intent, the data structure including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges, each node of the plurality of nodes being representative of a respective network device of the plurality of network devices. The one or more processing units are configured to determine, using an abstract function configured at a node of the plurality of nodes, a stateless intent for implementing the stateful intent and generate low level configuration data for the plurality of network devices based on the stateless intent. The one or more processing units are configured to interface with one or more of the plurality of network devices to configure the one or more of the plurality of network devices with the low level configuration data.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for in-service configuration data migration for distributed micro service-based applications. In one example, a network device comprises a plurality of legacy data repositories comprising configuration data in key-value pair format that specifies a plurality of parameters and corresponding values for operation of the network device, and a hierarchical configuration data model having a plurality of nodes arranged in a hierarchical organization having a root node and a plurality of leaf nodes. Each of the nodes of the configuration data model is configured to store a set of configuration data parameters for the network device. One or more of the nodes includes a plurality of external references to respective parameters of the plurality of parameters stored within the plurality of legacy data repositories. Process circuitry is configured to perform a migration of the configuration data from the legacy data repositories to the hierarchical data model.
