Abstract: A subscription management service utilizes a timer service to maintain timers corresponding to subscription events. The subscription management service exposes an interface through which clients can define new subscriptions that are then created and managed by the subscription management service. The subscription management service can charge subscribers on an appropriate billing period, and cancel or automatically renew subscriptions at the end of a contract period. The subscription management service can also provide notifications to clients, to subscribers, and/or to other components. The subscription management service might also perform other types of actions with regard to the subscriptions on behalf of the clients. The timer service receives payloads from clients, such as the subscription management service, and provides the payloads back to the clients at a specified time. The timer service might also utilize a jitter threshold to compute the time at which payloads should be provided to clients.

Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for generating a machine image from a software package. A machine image build service receives a request to create a machine image, such as by way of a network services application programming interface (API). The request can include the software package and a selection of an operating system. The machine image build service utilizes a workflow service to execute a workflow for generating the machine image. The workflow causes a virtual machine instance that utilizes the specified operating system to be instantiated by an on-demand computing service. The software package is installed in the virtual machine instance. A snapshot is taken of the virtual machine to create the requested machine image. The machine image can be scanned by a network service for compliance with one or more requirements for execution in a service provider network. The machine image can also be submitted to a machine image marketplace.
