A peripheral device may implement storage virtualization for non-volatile storage devices connected to the peripheral device. A host system connected to the peripheral device may host one or multiple virtual machines. The peripheral device may implement different virtual interfaces for the virtual machines or the host system that present a storage partition at a non-volatile storage device to the virtual machine or host system for storage. Access requests from the virtual machines or host system are directed to the respective virtual interface at the peripheral device. The peripheral device may perform data encryption or decryption, or may perform throttling of access requests. The peripheral device may generate and send physical access requests to perform the access requests received via the virtual interfaces to the non-volatile storage devices. Completion of the access requests may be indicated to the virtual machines via the virtual interfaces.

A migration system or service may implement event-driven replication for migrating a computing resource from a source network to a destination network. A replication event may be detected to obtain a state of a data volume for a computing resource hosted in a client network. A request to a replication agent hosted in the source network may instruct the replication agent to copy at least some of the data of the data volume and send the data to the destination network. The migration service may generate a state of the data volume from the received data in a format that is operable to host the computing resource in the destination network and store the generated state of the data volume.

Event-driven replication for migrating computing resources

Techniques are described for importing and using virtual machine images in configured manners, such as by a virtual machine image importation service on behalf of clients. An image may be retrieved based on a client-provided location, and various characteristics of the image may be identified via application of multiple heuristic or other assessment tests to various aspects of the retrieved image such as a master boot record, filesystem, or directory structure of the image to determine a testing vector that is compared to identification vectors associated with known operating systems, in order to automatically determine a specific operating system installed on the image to be imported. Modifications may be made to drivers, configuration and system files of the retrieved image based on the identified operating system and other image characteristics.

A computing resource service provider may receive, from a user client connected to an on-premises network, a security document specifying one or more user roles defining a level of access to customer resources within the on-premises network. In response, the service provider may generate and provide the user client with a cookie specifying the user roles and including an address for an interface within the service provider network. The service provider may receive a request from the user client to access one or more customer resources hosted by the service provider. The request may include the cookie previously provided to the user client. Accordingly, the service provider may extract the user roles from the cookie and determine, based at least in part on these user roles, whether to fulfill the user client request.

Techniques are described for generating and using virtual machine images and other software images in configured manners, such as by an image generating service on behalf of clients. An image may be configured to include or use multiple underlying components to construct the image, and specified configuration information may cause the generating process for the image to be triggered when underlying construction components change or otherwise when specified triggering conditions are satisfied. For example, an image to be manufactured may include a software program under development by a software developer client, with code files used to create the software program being among the construction components, such that client actions involving those code files (e.g., committing a new version with recent changes to a code repository) triggers a new version of the image to be manufactured that incorporates those changes.

Configured generation of virtual machine images

A customer network client detects, through a user interface, selection of a graphical representation of a set of virtual machine images and an indication to migrate this set of virtual machine images to an off-premises network managed by a computing resource service provider. In response, the client generates a set of application programming interface calls, which may be transmitted to the service provider and causes the service provider to convert the selected images for use within the off-premises network. The client monitors fulfillment of the calls and, upon determining that the calls has been fulfilled, updates a portion of the user interface associated with the computing resource service provider to indicate that the images may be instantiated within the off-premises network.

Migration of computer system images through a customer interface

Remote computing resource service providers allow customers to execute one or more applications in a virtual environment on computer systems provided by the computing resource service provider. The virtual machines may be managed by a hypervisor executing on computer systems operated by the service provider. The virtual machines' memory may be protected by a memory obfuscation service and the hypervisor. The memory obfuscation service may enable the virtual machines to maintain at least a portion of sensitive information in an obfuscated format. The virtual machines may request access to the virtual machines' memory, the memory obfuscation service may obtain the requested memory in an obfuscated format and un-obfuscate the memory such that it may be used by the virtual machines.

Hypervisor assisted virtual memory obfuscation

Remote computing resource service providers allow customers to execute one or more applications in a virtual environment on computer systems provided by the computing resource service provider. The customer applications are generally executed by multiple virtual machine instances working together. The virtual machines may be managed by a hypervisor executing on computer systems operated by the service provider. Different hypervisors may support different features and have different capabilities. Customers may wish to execute the one or more applications on a particular hypervisor in order to utilize certain features. A control plane may be used to facilitate management of the virtual environment by one or more services of the computing resource service provider.
