Abstract: A virtual network comprising virtual machines executing at a computing environment is implemented. A floating network interface is attached to a software defined networking (SDN) appliance. The floating network interface is configured to provide a connection to computing resources via a virtual network of a virtual computing environment, and the floating network interface is attachable to and detachable from the SDN appliance. The SDN appliance is configured to apply policies of the virtual computing environment to data traffic on the virtual network.

Abstract: Techniques for address migration are described. An address migration service can receive a request to migrate an address space to a provider network, the request including at least one range of addresses. The AMS service can authorize the request with an internet registry and provision the address space in at least one area of the provider network. The AMS can receive a request to advertise the address space, advertise the address space, and allocate at least one address in the address space to at least one resource in the provider network.

Abstract: A method for providing multiple users with security access to an electronic system is provided. The method comprising: providing a plurality of parent security roles, wherein each parent security role includes a plurality of transactions authorized to be performed in the electronic system, providing a plurality of child security roles, wherein each child security role is derived from one of the plurality of parent security roles, setting up the multiple users in the electronic system and their associated user passwords, assigning one of the plurality of child security roles to each of the multiple users to provide the multiple users with security access to the electronic system at once, and providing each of the multiple users with security access to the electronic system, via the associated user password, in accordance with the child security role assigned to the user.

Abstract: A device may receive requests for a set of project management office (PMO) services that are hosted by a set of enterprise project management (EPM) systems. The requests may include a first request and the first request includes a PMO service identifier. The device may analyze a set of configuration files to identify a configuration file associated with a PMO service of the set of PMO services that is associated with the first request. The configuration file may be associated with the PMO service identifier. The device may execute navigation instructions included in the configuration file to obtain, modify, or create PMO service data by interacting with a server device that hosts the PMO service. The device may perform, using the PMO service data and one or more configuration parameters included in the configuration file, one or more actions associated with delivering the PMO service.

Abstract: A cloud configuration management method implemented in a cloud configuration management system communicatively coupled to one or more cloud nodes in a cloud system includes creating a plurality of golden configurations for each of a plurality of roles, wherein each of the one or more cloud nodes has one of the plurality of roles for operation in the cloud system; defining metadata rules for each of the plurality of golden configurations; performing a configuration analysis to audit the one or more cloud nodes using the metadata rules; and providing results of the configuration analysis to determine misconfiguration of any of the one or more cloud nodes.

Abstract: A data processing system, method, and instructions executable on a computer inspect the quality of software code. A summary report is generated that summarizes aspects of the current status of a software project. The summary report may include which portions of code have been written, which have been edited to predetermined standards, and which remain to be written. Errors in the code may be identified. Warnings associated with portions of the code may be generated, as well as suggested changes to the code. For comparison, the suggested code changes may be displayed along side of the corresponding portions of the pre-existing code that the suggested code is intended to replace. Hard coded values may be automatically identified. Text elements corresponding to each hard coded value may be automatically created. Subsequently, each hard coded value may be automatically replaced by the corresponding text element. Revisions to pre-existing code may be inspected.

Abstract: Project assessment is initiated with receipt of project specification data that is descriptive, among other things, of at least one skill set or domain applied to the project. Based on the project specification data, one or more questionnaires, each corresponding to one of the identified skill sets, are automatically selected. Each of the selected questionnaires comprises questions concerning best practices applicable to the corresponding one skill set. The identified questionnaires are provided to a user and, in turn, assessment data is received in response to the one or more questionnaires. Based on the assessment data, an overall project score and other scores can be determined and presented. The at least one skill set may identify specific technologies being applied to the project. Because the questions presented in the at least one questionnaire require standardized answers, results from among a plurality of reviewers may be compared more readily.
