Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a data processing system are disclosed. A management controller of the data processing system may provide a sanitization request to a policy management server using an out-of-band communication channel. The management controller may obtain a response to the sanitization request from the policy management server via the out-of-band communication channel. The response may indicate whether performance of a sanitization process is authorized. The authorization may be based on a sanitization policy that governs sanitizations for the data processing system. If performance of the sanitization process is authorized, then the management controller may initiate and/or perform an action set based on the sanitization policy in order to complete the sanitization process, thereby placing the data processing system in a safe state.

Abstract: The rate limiter circuits in the packet processing chip of a NIC are a limited hardware resource that may limit the number of workloads that can be run on a server. Some such chips include an egress packet processing pipeline circuit and a second packet processing pipeline circuit that prepares work for the egress pipeline circuit. Some of the stages of the second pipeline circuit can be configured as a first limiter and a second limiter that implement aspects of different rate limiters such as IOPS limiters, bandwidth limiters, etc. Another pipeline stage can use the outputs of the different rate limiters to make a limiting decision that is written into one of the rate limiter circuits. The second pipeline circuit is thereby implementing virtualized rate limiters where one of the rate limiter circuits performs the rate limiting for the virtualized rate limiters.

Abstract: A data processing service receives indication that a recipient will request access to data assets of a provider and provides a request for credentials from a recipient governance module. The recipient governance module stores a recipient metastore including an object for a provider metastore. In response to determining that the assets are associated with the provider metastore, the service provides a request for credentials to a provider governance module. The provider governance module stores the provider metastore describing data assets of the provider and permissions for accessing data assets. The provider metastore includes a recipient object attached to the data assets with an identifier for the recipient metastore. In response to verifying that the recipient was provided access to the data assets, the service provides a token to the recipient governance module. The service then provides the token to a computing resource to provide access to the data assets.
