Abstract: Techniques are described for efficiently distributing across multiple computing resources satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) queries expressed in propositional logic with string variables. As part of the computing-related services provided by a cloud provider network, many cloud providers also offer identity and access management services, which generally help users to control access and permissions to the services and resources (e.g., compute instances, storage resources, etc.) obtained by users via a cloud provider network. By using resource policies, for example, users can granularly control which identities are able to access specific resources associated with the users' accounts and how those identities can use the resources. The ability to efficiently distribute the analysis of SMT queries expressed in propositional logic with string variables among any number of separate computing resources (e.g., among separate processes, compute instances, containers, etc.) enables the efficient analysis of such policies.

Abstract: Techniques for intent-based governance are described. For example, in some instances a method of receiving an indication of a change involving of one or more of code, a policy, a network configuration, or a governance requirement rule impacting a resource in a provider network for an account that is to be analyzed using one or more governance requirement rules; determining one or more governance requirement rules to evaluate for compliance after the update; evaluating the determined one or more governance requirement rules for compliance using one or more reasoning engines according to one or more policies; and making a result of the evaluating available to a user provides such governance.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a SAT-based solver for a quantifier-free theory of strings and bit vectors. The solver can be used by an automated reasoning service of a cloud provider network to analyze policies and the consequences of policies. The solver reduces an input formula to a Boolean satisfiability problem by encoding the input formula into an equisatisfiable propositional formula, where the satisfiability of the equisatisfiable propositional formula is determined by a SAT solver. Rather than using a traditional DPLL(T) style algorithm, the solver described herein bounds the length of variables in an input formula and reduces the problem to a single formula, which can then be solved using incremental SAT solving. The solver can be used independently or as part of a portfolio of solvers used to determine the satisfiability or unsatisfiability of certain formula corresponding, e.g., to questions about users' policies within a cloud provider network.

Abstract: Techniques are described for using compositional reasoning techniques to perform role reachability analyses relative to collections of user accounts and roles of a cloud provider network. Delegated role-based resource management generally is a method for controlling access to resources in cloud provider networks and other distributed systems. Many cloud provider networks, for example, implement identity and access management subsystems using this approach, where the concept of “roles” is used to specify which resources can be accessed by people, software, or (recursively) by other roles. An abstraction of the role reachability analysis is provided that can be used as input to a model-checking application to reason about such role reachability questions (e.g., which roles of an organization are reachable from other roles).

Abstract: A method for verifying source code for a program includes determining that a new version of the source code is available. One or more verification tools are determined to use for verification of the new version of the source code from a verification specification associated with the source code. A plurality of verification tasks to perform for the verification of the new version of the source code are automatically determined from the verification specification associated with the source code. The plurality of verification tasks for the new version of the source code are automatically performed using the one or more verification tools. A determination is then made as to whether the new version of the source code is verified.

Abstract: A constraint solver service of a computing resource service provider performs evaluations of logic problems provided by the service provider's users and/or services by deploying a plurality of constraint solvers to concurrently evaluate the logic problem. Each deployed solver has, or is configured with, different characteristics and/or capabilities than the other solvers; thus, the solvers can have varying execution times and ways of finding a solution. The service may control execution of the solvers using virtual computing resources, such as by installing and configuring a solver to execute in a software container instance. The service receives solver results and delivers them according to a solution strategy such as “first received” to reduce latency or “check for agreement” to validate the solution. An interface allows the provider of the logic problem to select and configure solvers, issue commands and modifications during solver execution, select the solution strategy, and receive the solution.
