Abstract: Fine-grained virtualization provisioning may be performed for in-place database scaling. Computing resource utilization for a database on a host system is obtained for a period of time. The computing resource utilization may be evaluated with respect to a target capacity for the database. If a scaling event is detected based on the evaluation, a modified target capacity may be determined and used to make an adjustment of the computing resources permitted to be used by the database.

Abstract: A method for data aggregation of declassified sensitive data may include obtaining a policy associated with an isolated region of a service provider. The policy may identify a plurality of rules for declassifying sensitive data accessible within the isolated region. At least a portion of the plurality of rules identified by the policy may be obtained. A file with the sensitive data may be identified, the file being generated within the isolated region. An output file may be generated based on applying the obtained rules to the file. At least a portion of the sensitive data may be filtered out using the obtained rules. The generated output file may be provided for access outside of the isolated region. The sensitive data may be inaccessible by at least another region of the service provider.

Abstract: Entities such as resource and service providers can utilize a ticketing system to define operational actions as primitives that can be stored, combined into more complex workflows, and executed in a restricted zone wherein a portion of the resources or services are not directly accessible to those providers. These primitives can be stored in the provider environment and shared with the restricted zone, in order to provide a structured approach to the sharing of operational knowledge. When a primitive is first received to the restricted zone, a person vetted by the customer associated with the restricted zone can review and approve the primitive, and can cause the primitive to be executed in the restricted zone. When that same primitive is subsequently received to the restricted zone, a lookup can be performed to determine that an approval exists, whereby the primitive can be executed in the restricted zone without another review.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes recording one or more actions being performed by an agent using at least one resource of a resource provider environment, the at least one resource being associated with a non-restricted zone in the resource provider environment. The method includes creating a primitive that describes the one or more actions. The primitive is able to be executed on at least one different resource in a restricted zone in the resource provider environment to perform the one or more actions using the different resource. The restricted zone includes resources associated with a customer that are directly accessible only to at least one authorized entity. The method includes submitting the primitive to the restricted zone in the resource provider environment. The primitive is able to be executed by the at least one authorized entity on the at least one different resource in the restricted zone.

Abstract: An application includes functionality for dynamically modifying controls based on readme documentation content after the development of the application is substantially complete. A developer marks up a documentation file to include references to graphical user interface controls. The application generates a registry that stores associations between the documentation content and the affected controls. The application then modifies the properties of the affected controls to alter presentation or at least one behavior of each affected control. When the application creates an instance of an affected control, the control includes the modified presentation or behavior.

Abstract: A technique to facilitate the automatic obtaining or extraction of dialogs or screens such as a graphical user interface from executable program code and saving a snapshot of such dialogs or screens in a graphical format. The executable program code is scanned or searched for particular modules within such program code that are used to generate a user interface or dialogue. Each one of these identified GUI-accessible modules is then processed in order to generate, display, and capture their associated user interface(s) or dialogue(s). Any requisite user input or sample data that is required by these modules is automatically generated and provided to assist in the generation, display, and capture of the interfaces/dialogues.

The executable program code is scanned or searched for particular modules within such program code that are used to generate a user interface or dialogue.

Abstract: A two-stroke engine utilizing a piston with two sets of intake ports, such that the first set of intake ports of the piston are positioned on the piston such that it is in alignment with the fuel intake when the piston has cycled to the bottom position, permitting the flow of fuel into the crankcase. The second set of intake ports of the piston are positioned such that they are at least partially in alignment with the fuel intake when the piston is cycling from the bottom position to the compression position, permitting the flow of fuel into the crankcase during the alignment.
