Abstract: Techniques for (i) using contextual information associated with an exposed credential to identify a resource that could be accessed using the exposed credential, (ii) identifying a responsible entity of that resource, and (iii) alerting the responsible entity about the exposed credential are disclosed. A credential is determined to be in an exposed state. The exposed credential, if used, could potentially provide an actor access to a resource, despite the fact that the actor should not have access to the resource. The exposed credential is analyzed to determine a context. Based on that context, the resource is identified. A responsible entity associated with the resource is identified. An alert is then sent to that entity.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying an exposed credential that, if used, would provide access to a resource are disclosed. The techniques enable the resource to remain online while (i) a new credential is allocated for the resource, (ii) the resource is transitioned to using the new credential instead of the exposed credential, and (iii) the exposed credential is attempted to be invalidated. A credential is accessed. This credential is suspected of being in an exposed state. The credential is accessible from within an artifact and is determined to be in the exposed state. A new credential is generated. This new credential is designed to replace the exposed credential. An instruction is transmitted to the resource to cause it to transition from using the exposed credential to using the new credential. The exposed credential is then invalidated.

Abstract: A materialization configuration request is received via a programmatic interface from a client of a journal-based multi-data-store database. The request indicates a partitioning rule to be used to select, for respective writes indicated in committed transaction entries of a journal, the materialization node at which the writes are to be stored. A control plane component of the database verifies that a set of materialization nodes corresponding to the partitioning rule has been established, and initiates the propagation of writes from the journal to the materialization nodes by respective write appliers.
