Abstract: Remote computing resource service providers allow customers to execute one or more applications in a virtual environment on computer systems provided by the computing resource service provider. The virtual machines may be managed by a hypervisor executing on computer systems operated by the service provider. The virtual machines' memory may be protected by a memory obfuscation service and the hypervisor. The memory obfuscation service may enable the virtual machines to maintain at least a portion of sensitive information in an obfuscated format. The virtual machines may request access to the virtual machines' memory, the memory obfuscation service may obtain the requested memory in an obfuscated format and un-obfuscate the memory such that it may be used by the virtual machines.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying a candidate workload which may be a suitable candidate for migration from a first location to a second location are described herein. A set of suitability measurements associated with a computer system resource operating in the first location is received, the set of suitability measurements including, for example, resource usage values for one or more resources associated with the workload. Based at least in part on one or more statistical calculations on the set of suitability measurements exceeding one or more thresholds, recommendations are made about whether to migrate the workload from the first location to the second location.

Abstract: A method of migrating applications from an enterprise-based network to a multi-tenant network of a compute service provider may include receiving a request to migrate an application running on a first virtual machine instance within the enterprise-based network. Dependencies of the application may be determined by identifying at least a second virtual machine instance within the enterprise-based network, where the at least second virtual machine instance associated with the application. Resource monitoring metrics associated with hardware resources used by the first virtual machine instance and the at least second virtual machine instance may be received. The first and at least second virtual machine instances may be migrated from the enterprise-based network to at least one virtual machine at a server within the multi-tenant network based on the monitoring metrics, thereby migrating the application from the enterprise-based network to the multi-tenant network.
