  • Publication number: 20240224505
    Abstract: A method used in forming memory circuitry comprises forming transistors individually comprising one source/drain region and another source/drain region. A channel region is between the one and the another source/drain regions. A conductive gate is operatively proximate the channel region. Digitline structures are formed that are individually directly electrically coupled to the another source/drain regions of multiple of the transistors. The digitline structures individually comprise a conductive digitline and an insulator material thereatop. The insulator material has a top. First insulating material is formed directly above the tops of the insulator material and laterally-over longitudinal sides of the digitline structures and covers across the one source/drain regions laterally-between immediately-adjacent of the digitline structures. Second insulating material is formed over the first insulating material.

  • Publication number: 20200117498
    Abstract: A customer submits a request to a virtual computer system service to launch a virtual machine instance and to join this instance to a managed directory. The service may obtain, from the customer, a domain name and Internet Protocol addresses for the selected directory, which is then stored within a systems management server. When launched, the instance may initiate an agent, which may communicate with the systems management server to obtain the configuration information. The agent may use this configuration information to establish a communications channel with the managed directory and create a temporary set of computer credentials that may be used to verify that the customer is authorized to join the virtual machine instance to the managed directory. If the credentials are valid, the managed directory may generate a computer account within the managed directory, which may be used to join the virtual machine instance to the managed directory.

  • Publication number: 20160344671
    Abstract: A method for executing commands on virtual machine instances in a distributed computing environment can include receiving, from a client computing device, a command execution request for executing a command on one or more virtual machine instances within the distributed computing environment. The command execution request includes a tag, and instance identification information for the one or more virtual machine instances is retrieved based on the tag. A command specification document associated with the command specified by the command execution request is retrieved. A command execution message, including the command specification document and at least one command parameter, is communicated to each of the one or more virtual machine instances. A command execution result from executing the command at the one or more virtual machine instances is received from the one or more virtual machine instances. The command execution result is sent to the client computing device.
