    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for cloud-based 5G security network architectures intelligent steering, workload isolation, identity, and secure edge steering. Specifically, various approaches are described to integrate cloud-based security services into Multiaccess Edge Compute servers (MECs). That is, existing cloud-based security services are in line between a UE and the Internet. The present disclosure includes integrating the cloud-based security services and associated cloud-based system within service provider's MECs. In this manner, a cloud-based security service can be integrated with a service provider's 5G network or a 5G network privately operated by the customer. For example, nodes in a cloud-based system can be collocated within a service provider's network, to provide security functions to 5G users or connected by peering from the cloud-based security service into the 5G service provider's regional communications centers.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively exposing Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) dynamically and in a scalable manner include, when a new API is exposed in a microservice, making it accessible via a gateway if it is indicated to be exposed. The present disclosure focused on exposing a range of services behind the API gateway in a scalable, easy to use manner. The present disclosure includes an API gateway that supports a new microservice easily and efficiently as long as it provides metadata. The API gateway dynamically decides which APIs will be exposed via the gateway with filtering per service. Also, the API gateway routes any request made by a user to the gateway back to the intended microservice in a transparent fashion, as well as performing any additional transformations of the request before sending it back to the microservice.

    Abstract: A method implemented via a cloud-based system for network slicing in a 5G network includes connecting with a device that connects to the 5G network, wherein the cloud-based system includes a plurality of nodes interconnected to one another and including one or more nodes integrated in a user plane of the 5G network; inline monitoring traffic between the device and destinations including any of the Internet, cloud services, private applications, edge compute, Multiaccess Edge Compute (MEC), public/private data centers, and public/private clouds; and enforcing bandwidth control, in the 5G network, to a defined Quality of Service for a slice associated with the device.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for limiting calls to access a cloud-based system are disclosed. The systems and methods obtain a rate limiting policy including at least one attribute and a counting interval, the at least one attribute including at least one of a username associated with a client, an instance, an organization associated with the client, a resource being requested, a service being requested, a geographical access region, and an Application Programming Interface (API) being requested. The systems and methods also mark an entry, based on the rate limiting policy, in a database for each call the client makes. The systems and methods further enforce the rate liming policy by not processing calls from the client associated with the at least one attribute that are made for a count of calls marked that is beyond the counting interval.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing configurations of distributed computing services include responsive to an update to a configuration of a service, performing a write to a cryptographically bound journal; validating the write by a plurality of validators; responsive to validation of the write, permanently recording the write in the cryptographically bound journal in a block chain; and providing an update to the cryptographically bound journal to the distributed computing services.
