Abstract: Described herein are deadfront assemblies that are configured to exhibit variable transmission and reflection performance attributes. The deadfront assemblies described herein comprise a first ink layer, an intermediate layer, and a second ink layer. The intermediate layer is disposed between the first and second ink layers and is configured to reflect light that is transmitted through the first ink layer back through the first ink layer so that one or more colors of the ink in the first ink layer is visible in the reflected light. The second ink layer is configured to counteract deviations in optical transmission caused by the first ink layer so that light transmitted through the deadfront assembly is not perceptively altered in color. Overlapping regions of the first and second ink layers comprise inverse appearance attributes so that light output from a light source and transmitted through the deadfront assembly has a desired appearance.

Abstract: Techniques for enforcing an egress policy at a target service are described. In an example, traffic is generated for a customer, where the traffic is generated by a customer network of the customer, such as a customer tenancy or an on-premise network. The traffic can be destined to the target service. The traffic can be tagged by the customer network (e.g., by a gateway of the customer network). The customer network can be associated with the egress policy. The customer can define the egress policy at different granularity levels by using different attributes. The target service can determine the egress policy based on the information tagged to the traffic and can enforce the egress policy, based on the customer-defined attributes, on the traffic that the target service is receiving.

Abstract: Techniques for enforcing an egress policy at a target service are described. In an example, traffic is generated for a customer, where the traffic is generated by a customer network of the customer, such as a customer tenancy or an on-premise network, or by a multi-tenancy service on behalf of the customer. The traffic can be destined to the target service. The traffic can be tagged by the customer network (e.g., by a gateway of the customer network) or by the multi-tenancy service. The customer network can be associated with the egress policy. The target service can determine the egress policy based on the information tagged to the traffic and can enforce the egress policy on the traffic that the target service is receiving.
