Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for updating request routing information associated with client location information are provided. A content delivery network service provider receives a DNS query from a client computing device. The DNS query corresponds to a resource identifier for requested content from the client computing device. The content delivery network service provider obtains a query IP address corresponding to the client computing device. Based on routing information associated with the query IP address, the content delivery network service provider routes the DNS query. The process further includes monitoring performance data associated with the transmission of the requested resource and updating routing information associated with the query IP address based on the performance data for use in processing subsequent requests from the client computing device.

The processor implements the method, including receiving a stream of data for sporting events, receiving a gaming preference from a device, identifying matches with the gaming preference, and for each identified match, generating an alert for the mobile device including some summarization of information on the corresponding game.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that identifies a first number of requests received at a first application. Based on the first number of requests received at the first application, the method determines that a second application that processes requests after processing by the first application requires additional resources to handle a second number of requests that will be received at the second application. The method increases the amount of resources available to the second application prior to the second application receiving the second number of requests.

Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatuses and methods for multi-cast, multiple unicast, and unicast distribution of messages with time synchronized delivery are described. In some embodiments, the disclosed system and methods include a reference timekeeper providing a reference clock to one or more host computing devices. The one or more host computing devices host compute instances, and also contain respective isolated timing hardware outside the control of the compute instances. The isolated timing hardware of the one or more host computing devices then receive respective packets, and obtain the same time to deliver the respective packets. Each isolated timing hardware provides either the packet, or information to access the packet, to its respective destination compute instance subsequent to determining that the same specified time to deliver the packet has occurred. Thus, the respective packets are delivered near simultaneously to the one or more destination compute instances.

Abstract: Example systems and methods monitor a cloud compute environment. An example method includes an agent obtaining a data packet from an interface in the cloud compute environment, the data packet including a source address and a non-endpoint destination address; determining, based on the non-endpoint destination address and routing information for the data packet, an endpoint destination address associated with the non-endpoint destination address of the data packet; modifying the data packet by replacing the non-endpoint destination address with the endpoint destination address; and providing, based on the modified data packet, monitoring data to a data platform.

Abstract: A service monitors password and username use while maintaining username and password privacy by receiving a hash of a username, a hash of a password, and a host name and comparing the received hashes against a database of associated host names and hashes of usernames and passwords. When the comparison determines that the hash of the new password meets certain conditions, e.g., no hash in the database matches the hash of the new password, then the new password may be allowed and the service informs the security component accordingly.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a premises are described. A gateway device may monitor a plurality of devices at a premises. A mobile device may receive, from the gateway device, data indicative of one or more events of the plurality of devices. The mobile device may output a user interface comprising status information associated with the plurality of devices. The user interface may allow for user input to generate control operations associated with the premises.

Abstract: Learning from similar cloud deployments, including: identifying, for at least a portion of a first cloud deployment, one or more additional cloud deployments to utilize for cross-customer learning; receiving information describing configurations associated with the additional cloud deployments; and identifying, based on the configurations, one or more configurations to adopt for the first cloud deployment.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a cloud shell extension framework. A cloud infrastructure (CI) service can invoke a cloud shell from a console to the CI. The service may request that context data to be added for use in a terminal session. The cloud shell extension can include a tool or script that can be used to obtain context data or sample code for preparing an environment specific to the service prior to the user interaction with the environment. The cloud shell extension can allow for a service to register an extension in the cloud shell framework, and their extension can be invoked when a client initiates the cloud shell with the service. The extension can allow for the invoked service to forward context data, such as environment variables, to be set in the terminal session for the client.

Abstract: A runtime state of a virtual port associated with a virtual machine (“VM”) is persisted as the VM is migrated from a source host to a destination host. In certain embodiments, a virtual switch forwards network frames between the VM and the physical network interface via the virtual port. During migration of the VM, the runtime state of the virtual port is transferred to the destination host and applied at the second host to a virtual port associated with a second virtual switch at the destination host. The runtime state of the virtual port at the source host is then cleared, and the second virtual switch at the destination host forwards network frames between the migrated VM and the physical network interface of the destination host using the virtual port at the second host.
