One or more embodiments provide techniques that permit virtual computing instances in isolated environments to communicate information outside the isolated environments without requiring networking. In one embodiment, an encoder which runs in a virtual machine (VM) within an isolated environment, such as one of the VMs of a packaged virtual machine application that does not have external network connectivity, is configured to encode information, such as state information of the packaged virtual machine application, in portion(s) of a network address. The encoder further configures an unconnected network interface of the same VM, or another VM in the isolated environment, with the network address that includes the encoded information. A decoder, which could not otherwise communicate with the virtual computing instance via any network, may then retrieve the network address assigned to the unconnected network interface and decode that network address to obtain the information encoded therein.

External communication with packaged virtual machine applications without networking

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage power consumption in a software build environment. In one implementation, a monitoring service monitors power consumption information associated with a build environment for one or more software components. The monitoring service further identifies one or more trends associated with the power consumption information based at least on the power consumption information satisfying one or more criteria and generates a summary for display that indicates at least the one or more trends. The monitoring service may also identify and display as part of the summary one or more suggestions to improve power consumption based on the one or more trends.
