Systems and methods are described for a connection service that identifies connections for providing a data flow between a client computing device and a target computing device. A client computing device can send an API-based connection request to various servers hosting the connection service. The connection service processes the requests to determine a routing path for the connection. Advantageously, the connection service determines various routing paths and further identifies a connection for the data stream using that routing path. Finally, a control service provides control and relays requests to initiate data flows for resources configured for a data flow (e.g., a remote desktop session).

Connection service with network routing

Systems and methods are described for a connection service that identifies routing paths for providing a data flow between a client computing device and a target computing device. A client computing device can send an API-based connection request to various servers hosting the connection service. The connection service processes the requests to determine a routing path for the connection. Advantageously, the connection service selects a routing path from a plurality of available routing paths if a client computing device is associated with a network address translator. The connection service may provide an externally addressable network address if it determines that no such address is available for routing of a data flow.

Systems and methods are described for providing a proxied filesystem in a hosted computing environment. A provider of hosted computing services provides a filesystem proxy server. The server proxies filesystems on a client computing device utilizing the hosted computing environment, enabling the resources of the hosted computing environment to access the filesystems of the client computing device. Requests for resources in the proxied filesystem may be cached, and updates to cached resources may be communicated as a set of changes that, when applied to the cached resource, transform it into the current version of the resource. The filesystem proxy server may proxy read requests, write requests, requests for information pertaining to the filesystem, and may be implemented within a virtual machine in the hosted computing environment or as a standalone service.
