Systems and methods are provided for programmatically simulating one or more system conditions for a network resource using one or more services. In one implementation, a server receives a request to initiate a treatment. The request identifies a treatment definition. The server determines, based on the treatment definition, the one or more services and deploys the one or more services to the network resource. The one or more services simulate the one or more system conditions.

Programmatically simulating system conditions

Embodiments of systems and methods are described for dynamically managing requests for computing capacity from a provider of computing resources. Illustratively, the computing resources may include program execution capabilities, data storage or management capabilities, network bandwidth, etc. The systems or methods automatically allocate computing resources for execution of one or more programs associated with the user. The systems and methods may enable the user to make changes to the allocated resources after execution of the one or more programs has started.

Methods and systems for dynamically managing requests for computing capacity

Methods and apparatus for dynamic pricing of cloud resources for stateful applications are disclosed. A system includes a resource manager and a plurality of execution platforms. The resource manager stores client-provided application packages in a repository, where each package includes an executable object and has an associated pricing constraint. The resource manager selects a particular execution platform on which to schedule execution of the executable object of a particular application package, based at least in part on a current pricing of execution units of the particular execution platform and the pricing constraint of the application package. In response to a price-based interruption event, a representation of a state of the application is saved, and the execution of the application on the particular execution platform is stopped.

Dynamic pricing of network-accessible resources for stateful applications

Methods and apparatus for differential bandwidth metering in a network implementing direct peerings. A system includes a plurality of resource collections and a billing manager. The billing manager obtains a first metric of network traffic transmitted on behalf of a client to obtain one or more services from one or more resource collections. The billing manager also obtains a second metric of network traffic transmitted on behalf of the client over one or more private links, where each private link is set up to establish a network path between a respective client network of the client and a respective resource collection of the plurality of resource collections. The billing manager provides composite billing information to the client comprising a differential billing amount dependent upon a difference between the first metric and the second metric.

Differential bandwidth metering for networks with direct peerings

A method of maintaining electrical power to electrical systems in operation during reconfiguration or maintenance of a power distribution system for the electrical systems includes providing a Y-connection in a set of electrical power lines. The Y-connection includes an input, a primary output, and a feed output. The set of electrical power lines supplies electrical power from a power source to the electrical systems through the primary output. To establish a feed for maintenance or reconfiguration of the power feed, power is fed from the power source through the feed output of the Y-connection to the electrical systems while power is being supplied to the electrical systems through the primary output.

In an environment such as a cloud computing environment where various guests can be provisioned on a host machine or other hardware device, it can be desirable to prevent those users from rebooting or otherwise restarting the machine or other resources using unauthorized information or images that can be obtained from across the network. A cloud manager can cause one or more network switches or other routing or communication processing components to deny communication access between user-accessible ports on a machine or device and the provisioning systems, or other specific network resources, such that the user cannot cause the host machine to pull information from those resources upon a restart or reboot of the machine. Further, various actions can be taken upon a reboot or attempted reboot, such as to isolate the host machine or even power off the specific machine.
