A provider network provides task capture and execution for tasks performed with respect to resources in the provider network. Task actions performed with respect to resources may be captured based on inputs to a provider network via a network-based service for the provider network in order to generate a recorded task. The recorded task may be stored for subsequent execution. In response to the detection of an execution event for the recorded task, the task actions may be performed as described in the recorded task. In some embodiments, task parameters and execution events may be defined for recorded tasks. Multiple recorded tasks may be linked together to be managed and executed as recorded task workflows. Recorded tasks may also be obtained that were recorded by other clients, or recorded for different provider networks.

Capture and execution of provider network tasks

A system or device may implement configuration and testing of network-based service platform resources using a service platform specific language. A configuration file may describe one or more resources of a network-based service platform to be configured, as well as one or more tests to be performed. The configuration file may be described in a service platform specific language for the network-based service platform. When received, the configuration file may be interpreted according to the service platform specific language to identify configuration information for the resources and execution instructions for performing the tests. Requests may be generated and sent to the network-based service platform to configure and provision the resources according to the identified information. Results of the tests may be obtained.

Configuration and testing of network-based service platform resources using a service platform specific language

Multiple variants of an API can coexist through API management by using metadata in a pre-processing and post-processing system to weed out requests to which a client does not have permission and return parameters that do not belong with the API request variant. Metadata is added to request objects such that an instance of a request object may be examined to determine a request handler to properly inspect the request object and recommend further processing or rejection of the instance. Metadata may also be added to a response object created as a result of processing the request object such that a response handler may be identified to ensure the fields match the proper response to the request object. The API may be dynamically managed at the point of request and also at the point of return rather than a statically coded whitelist checked multiple times within the code itself.

Managing API authorization

An API testing component is provided that is configured to deploy test suites to one or more test virtual machine instances. The test suites include an API test. The API tests are periodically executed on the test virtual machine instances, and test results generated by the API tests are collected and stored. The API testing component also provides a user interface for viewing the test results using a user interface specification that defines a visual layout for presenting test results generated by one or more test suites. The API testing component might also generate one or more alarm messages utilizing the test results and an alarm specification.
