Techniques to store secret information for global data centers securely may provide a front end service for a back end data store. The front end service may be responsible for deployment, upgrade, and disaster recovery aspects, and so forth, of data center maintenance. Data centers may access data and data-related services from the back end data store through the front end service. Secrets that are needed to access secure data may be stored on behalf of the data centers without providing the secrets to the data centers.

Techniques to store secret information for global data centers

When a program invokes a synchronous user interface display, it is determined whether an asynchronous user interface (UI) display needs to be generated. If so, the user interface thread invoked by the synchronous program is blocked and the asynchronous UI display is generated and displayed so that it covers the synchronous display on the UI display screen. When the processing corresponding to the synchronous user interface display is complete, processing returns to the synchronous user interface display and the user interface thread invoked by the synchronous program is unblocked.
