Abstract: Methods and apparatus for client-premise resource control using provider-defined interfaces are described. A set of programmatic interfaces enabling clients to submit registration requests is implemented. A registration request indicates resources located at a data center external to a provider network as candidate targets for control operation requests issued via a different set of programmatic interfaces associated with a service of the provider network. A network connection is established between a particular resource indicated in a registration request, and an administrative resource located within a data center of the provider network. In response to a particular control operation request received via a programmatic interface of the different set, a control command is transmitted from the administrative resource to the particular resource via the network connection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing pooled client-premise resources via provider-defined interfaces are described. A pool management request is received from a client via a programmatic interface implemented at a provider network, indicating at least one resource located at a data center external to the provider network. An activation status of the resource within a pool is to be managed by a service of the provider network. A network connection between an administrative resource of the service, located within the provider network, and a control module instantiated on behalf of the service at the external data center is established. A command is transmitted from the administrative resource to the control module to activate the particular resource.
