A patching service provides customers with a mechanism to automate patching of customer operated computing resources. A set of patch actions may be specified for various computing resource. A patch workflow may be used to deploy patches to the computing resource. The patch workflows may be generated based at least in part on attributes of the computing resources and the set of patch actions. The patch workflows may be stored and used to deploy patches to the customer operated computing resources.

Resource aware patching service

This disclosure describes techniques for providing users of services provided by network-based service platforms with additional control for approving patches that are to be deployed to computing resources that support their services. In some examples, the techniques include generating and using a 'snapshot,' or list, of patches that are preliminarily approved for deployment. Prior to deploying the patches to the computing resources, users are provided with access to the snapshot and are able to modify the snapshot. For example, users can modify the snapshot by adding patches, removing patches, specifying a sequence in which the patches are to be deployed, and so forth. The snapshot of patches may be 'frozen' for a period of time, meaning that patches that during the period of time, only patches in the snapshot are deployed, and patches that are not included in the snapshot are not permitted to be deployed to computing resources.

Controlling the approval of software updates for computing resources

Provided is a system for managing the resource limit associated with a user, where the resource limit indicates the amount of compute resources the user is allowed to use. As the user requests and obtains additional resources from a pool of resources, the user's resource usage is increased to reflect the additional resources being used by the user. As the resources used by the user are released, to ensure that the pool of resources has sufficient capacity to handle additional resource requests, the replenishment status of the pool is further checked, and if the replenishment status satisfies a condition for updating the user's resource usage, the user's resource usage is decreased to reflect the resources that are no longer in use by the user. The released resources are torn down and re-provisioned back into the pool of resources.

Replenishment-aware resource usage management

A workflow orchestration service coordinates the performance of a workflow. The workflow is accomplished by performing a task on each resource in a set of resources. In an embodiment, the resources are virtual computer system instances and the task is a set of commands to be run on each of the virtual computer system instances. As a result of a request, the workflow orchestration service initiates a task instance for each resource in the set of resources in accordance with a set of workflow parameters. In an embodiment, the workflow parameters include a parameter that limits the number of concurrent active task instances. In an embodiment, the workflow parameters identify condition that aborts the performance of the workflow. In an embodiment, upon failure of a task instance, the workflow orchestration service rolls back the state of an associated resource to a state before the task was initiated.

Workflow management system

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for fleet-wide management of software packages are disclosed. A package management service is offered to a plurality of clients in a multi-tenant environment. Using the package management service, a package set is determined that comprises metadata identifying a plurality of software packages and desired states associated with the software packages. The software packages are from a catalog. Deployment of the package set is initiated to a plurality of computing devices. The deployment comprises reaching the desired states for the software packages in the package set for the computing devices.
