Abstract: A metric predictor model for predicting values of a data metric is selected. The metric predictor model is trained using historical data related to the data metric. A predicted value of the data metric is obtained using the metric predictor model. A current value of the data metric is obtained using data other than the historical data. A difference between the predicted value and the current value is determined to meet a reporting criterion. In response to determining that the difference meets the reporting criterion, a notification descriptive of the difference is output.

Abstract: In response to an operating system crash, a system may recovering by initiating a reboot and performing a dump of a core file for analysis which includes determining a root cause of the operating system crash and determining a patch for the root cause..

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for on-demand code execution that uses a client's host computing environment with native hypervisors. The client's host computing device receives a configuration application library. An agent process is executed on the host computing device from the configuration application library. The agent process is executed in association with a first user profile that gives the process rights to configure the client host computing device. The agent process receives, from a service external to the client host computing environment/device/native hypervisor, a code-execution request on behalf of a second user profile. The agent process provisions an execution environment on behalf of the second user profile. The execution environment runs on the native hypervisor. The code instructions are executed in the execution environment under the second user profile. The agent process monitors the code execution and receives a status regarding the execution of the code in the execution environment.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling an application modernization system to efficiently identify various types of software development “anti-patterns” (including cloud anti-patterns) associated with software applications. An anti-pattern is broadly any characteristic of a software application or system that represents an undesirable or suboptimal solution to a problem within a given software design context. Depending on the particular software design context, examples of possible anti-patterns and cloud anti-patterns can include the use of insecure network protocols, an application's reliance on local file system access, the use of a deprecated or outdated class, function, or library, etc. An application modernization system described herein includes a modernization assessment client application that identifies the presence of anti-patterns in users' software applications using a collection of anti-pattern definitions (e.g.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a software modernization system to automatically map binary executable files and other runtime artifacts (e.g., application binaries, Java ARchive (JAR) files, .NET Dynamic Link Library (DLL) files, process identifiers, etc.) to source code associated with the binary executable files, e.g., as part of modernization processes aimed at migrating users' applications to a cloud service provider's infrastructure. A software modernization service of a cloud provider network provides discovery agents and other tools that are capable of creating an inventory of users' software applications and collecting profile data about the software applications. Various techniques are described for automatically identifying the source code associated with software applications identified by a discovery agent in a user's computing environment, thereby improving the efficiency of various software modernization analyses and other modernization processes.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a software modernization assessment service of a cloud provider network to maintain a modernization knowledge base and to use the knowledge base to generate modernization recommendations for users' software applications. A modernization knowledge base comprises one or more modernization ontologies, where a modernization ontology defines concepts and relationships used to describe modernization tool capabilities and limitations, modernization strategies, etc. The modernization assessment service uses the modernization knowledge base to automate various software modernization processes including, for example, providing modernization recommendations for software applications (e.g., applications identified by users as candidates for modernization) and generating modernization assessment reports.

Abstract: Media can be automatically controlled. A media control service can be configured to detect changes in the active application on a computing device and, in response, mute, pause or otherwise control the audio of one or more non-active applications to thereby prevent overlapping of audio. The media control service may leverage a policy to customize such control for a particular user, use case or other scenario. The media control service may also leverage machine learning to adapt such control based on a user's interactions with the computing device.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for managing computer system resources using natural language statements. A natural language statement can be received from a user computing device by a management service. The natural language statement can be analyzed to identify an executable command, and the command can be executed against one or more system resources. If the system resources are located in separate computing environments, different operations can be used to target the system resources in the separate computing environments. A script repository can be searched to identify an executable script containing the command referenced by the received natural language statement. A message can be transmitted to the user device, recommending execution of the identified script. In a different or further embodiment, if a given user is not authorized to execute a given command or script, a request for authorization can be sent to a supervisor of the given user.

Abstract: Techniques for migrating servers from customer networks into service provider networks are described. A backup proxy can be deployed in a customer's network and associated with one or more servers in the customer's network and with a server migration service of a service provider network. A customer can identify a server in the customer's network to migrate and the server migration service coordinates the migration with the backup proxy. The backup proxy can be instructed to obtain replication data for the server, obtain configuration data associated with the server, and upload the replication data and configuration data to the service provider network. The service provider network uses the replication data and configuration data to create a migrated copy of the server at the service provider network.

Abstract: At a configuration discovery service, a unique service-side identifier is generated for a configuration item based on analysis of a data set obtained from a first data source. A determination is made that a second data set, which does not contain the service-side identifier and is obtained from a different data source, also includes information pertaining to the same configuration item. A coalesced configuration record for the configuration item is prepared. The coalesced configuration record is stored at a repository and used to respond to a programmatic query.

Abstract: Configuration items of an environment for a client of a configuration discovery service are identified. A view category is selected for the target environment. A set of configuration items for which information regarding recent configuration changes is to be provided is identified. Data which can be used to display a graphical representation of at least a portion of the environment and the configuration changes is transmitted.
