    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for determining an operation to be performed with a direct memory access (DMA) request. An inspection unit (105) is coupled between an input-output memory management unit (IOMMU) (120) and an endpoint device (118). The inspection unit (105) stores a registry (330) comprising entries (332) which each correspond to a respective address, and a respective one or more resources of the endpoint device (118). A given entry (332) of the registry (330) is created based on a message from the IOM MU (120) which indicates the successful completion of an address translation to facilitate a DMA request. The endpoint device (118) performs a search, based on a DMA request, to determine if any registry (330) entry (332) indicates a combination of an address and an endpoint resource, where said combination matches a corresponding combination indicated by the DMA request. Communication of the DMA request to the IOMMU (120) is contingent on a result of the search.

    Abstract: There is disclosed in one example a computing apparatus, including: a hardware platform configured to communicatively couple with a multi-tenant cloud service, the multi-tenant cloud service including an oversubscribable resource; and a service assurance for oversubscribable resource (SAOR) engine configured to: receive tenant subscriptions to the oversubscribable resource, wherein tenant subscriptions exceed available instances of the oversubscribable resource; receive per-tenant quality of service (QoS) metrics for the oversubscribable resource; receive an allocation request from a guest for allocation of an instance of the oversubscribable resource; compare the request to currently-available instances of the oversubscribable resource; determine that the oversubscribable resource has capacity to service the request according to the QoS metrics of the tenant; and allocate an instance of the oversubscribable resource to the guest.

    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including one or more servers and one or more storage devices, coupled with each other, to provide virtual storage service to store a file and meta data of the file for a client computing device. The file and the meta data of the file may be encrypted by the client computing device before providing to the virtual storage service. The file may be encrypted with a secret key of the client computing device, and the meta data of the file may be encrypted with a shared session key between the client computing device and the virtual storage service. The encrypted file may be stored in the one or more storage devices, and the encrypted meta data of the file may be stored in one or more secured areas of the one or more servers. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
