  • Patent number: 10362039
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider may receive, from a user client connected to an on-premises network, a security document specifying one or more user roles defining a level of access to customer resources within the on-premises network. In response, the service provider may generate and provide the user client with a cookie specifying the user roles and including an address for an interface within the service provider network. The service provider may receive a request from the user client to access one or more customer resources hosted by the service provider. The request may include the cookie previously provided to the user client. Accordingly, the service provider may extract the user roles from the cookie and determine, based at least in part on these user roles, whether to fulfill the user client request.

  • Patent number: 9778952
    Abstract: A customer network client detects, through a user interface, selection of a graphical representation of a set of virtual machine images and an indication to migrate this set of virtual machine images to an off-premises network managed by a computing resource service provider. In response, the client generates a set of application programming interface calls, which may be transmitted to the service provider and causes the service provider to convert the selected images for use within the off-premises network. The client monitors fulfillment of the calls and, upon determining that the calls has been fulfilled, updates a portion of the user interface associated with the computing resource service provider to indicate that the images may be instantiated within the off-premises network.
