Abstract: A system for enabling end user devices to access third party cloud-based resources. For example, the system may include a first party cloud-based resource for converting sound into a format accessible to the third party cloud-based resource, storing and/or maintaining state information related to the an open communication session between the end user device and the third party cloud-based resources, and converting text-based audio announcements into audio that may be output by the end user device. In some cases, the first party cloud-based resource may transmit user responses together with stored state information to the third party cloud-based resources in a manner that the third part cloud-based resources may treat each interaction with the end user as a separate communication session.

Abstract: A method and system for validating data migrated from a source database to a target database and storing validation metrics resulting from validating the data are described. The system receives validation information to be used to validate data to be migrated from a source database to a target database. The system validates the data using the validation information and stores validation metrics resulting from validating the data.

Abstract: Validation of a migration task to migrate data from one data store to another may be performed prior to the migration of the data. Parameters associated with the migration may be evaluated according to one or more types of validations for the migration task. In some embodiments, users may specify the validations to perform for the migration task. A determination as to whether the migration task is valid may be performed for the migration task based on the parameter evaluations. A result indicating whether the migration task is valid may be provided to a user.

Abstract: A voice-controlled device may receive a voice command uttered by a user, where the voice command may request that the voice-controlled device perform an operation. The voice-controlled device and/or one or more remote computing resources may process an audio signal associated with the voice command to determine text corresponding to the voice command. The resulting user utterance may be associated with a unique identifier, which may be provided to a third party and/or third party application that is to provide information responsive to the user request. The information provided by the third party/third party application may be output to the user based at least partly on the unique identifier, without disclosing user data associated with the user.

Abstract: A system enables end user devices to receive audio announcements from third party cloud-based resources. For example, the system may include a first party cloud-based resource providing tokens to the third party cloud-based resource in order to prevent the third party cloud-based resource from causing audio announcements to be output by user devices without authorization. In some cases, the tokens may be time based and prevent the third party cloud-based resource from causing audio announcements to be output by user devices after a predefined amount of time. In other examples, the tokens may be use based and prevent the third party cloud-based resource from causing the user device to output more than a predetermined number of audio announcements.
