Techniques for building, validating, and utilizing custom database software in a shared management environment are described. A database customization service allows users to provide database installation files as part of a configuration to generate a custom database engine version. The creation of custom database engine versions may be governed by policy, and the database customization service may provide recommendations for creating custom database engine versions according to various criteria. The custom database engine version can be built, and its functionality and correctness verified. Users may launch database instances using these custom database engine versions that can be managed under a shared management scheme where both users and the database customization service can perform host-level management.

Techniques for building and validating database software in a shared management environment

A configuration management system tracks the configuration of a managed computing environment in accordance with a configuration tracking policy. The configuration management system uses the tracking policy to map configuration information from the managed computing environment to a hierarchy of configuration items. Items may be included or excluded from the hierarchy based on relevance to the tracking policy and a predicted amount of dynamism. A signature of the hierarchy is generated. A change to the configuration environment is detected based on a change to the signature, and an action is performed in response to the detected change.

Configuration change tracking

Policies and controls for building and validating database software in a shared management environment

A configuration management system tracks the configuration of a computing environment based on a tracking policy. The configuration management system detects a change to a configuration setting included in the tracking policy, and classifies the change. The classification is indicative of an effect of the change on an ability to manage operation of the computing environment. The configuration management system initiates an action, based at least in part on the classification, in response to the change.

Configuration tracking perimeter

A configuration management service tracks the configuration of a managed computing environment in accordance with a first version of a tracking policy. When an updated version of the tracking policy is received, the configuration management service initiates tracking of the configuration in accordance with the second version of the tracking policy, while continuing to track the configuration in accordance with the first version. A change to the configuration is detected based on the first version of the tracking policy. The change is verified based on the second version of the tracking policy, and a notification of the change is provided.
