Abstract: Operations include executing operations across different third-party computing clouds provided by different vendors. A cloud discovery process allows for a virtual machine, executing on a computing cloud, to discover resources on a different computing cloud provided by a different vendor. The cloud discovery process is implemented by one or more cloud agents executing within third-party clouds. A cloud agent, corresponding to a third-party computing cloud, may use a cross-cloud repository that is maintained by a tenant to discover resources in other third-party computing clouds provided by different vendors. An Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing a particular third-party computing cloud may be exposed to a cloud agent of another third-party computing cloud provided by a different vendor. The cloud agent may trigger operations on the particular third-party computing cloud based on events detected by the cloud agent in the third-party computing cloud corresponding to the cloud agent.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a primary role reporting service for resource groups are disclosed. A reporting intermediary assigned to a resource group of a network-accessible service receives role information indicating the identity of a primary member of the group from a state manager of the network-accessible service. The intermediary receives a health status query pertaining to the resource group from a health checking subsystem used by a network address discovery service, and provides a health status response based on the role information. The response provided by the reporting intermediary is used by the network address discovery service to provide a network address in response to a lookup query for the resource group.
