    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-accessible storage media for remotely managing a gateway that serves as an interface between processes on a customer network and a service provider, for example to store data to a remote data store. The gateway sends a connection request to a gateway control server. The server holds the connection until the server receives information (e.g., information from the customer sent via the service provider) for the gateway. The server sends the information as requests via the gateway-initiated connection, and continues to hold the connection. If a server receives information for a gateway to which it does not hold a connection, the server sends the information to the server that does hold the connection. The server may either discover the appropriate server via a registration service that registers connections to gateways or broadcast the information to peer servers identified through a registration service.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-accessible storage media for activating a gateway to a remote service provider. The gateway serves as an interface between processes on a customer network and the provider, for example to store customer data to a remote data store. A gateway sends a public key and metadata describing the gateway to the provider. The gateway receives an activation key from the provider and exposes the activation key on the customer network. The customer obtains the key and communicates to the provider using the key to provide customer information including a name for the gateway and to authorize registration of the gateway. The provider provides the customer information to the gateway. The gateway requests security credentials from the provider using the customer information and the key. The provider sends a security credential to the gateway. The gateway may then obtain configuration information from the customer via the provider.

    Abstract translation: 用于激活到远程服务提供商的网关的方法,装置和计算机可访问的存储介质。 网关用作客户网络和提供商之间的进程之间的接口,例如将客户数据存储到远程数据存储。 网关向提供商发送描述网关的公开密钥和元数据。 网关从提供商接收激活密钥,并在客户网络上公开激活密钥。 客户获得密钥并使用密钥向提供商进行通信,以提供客户信息,包括网关的名称并授权网关的注册。 提供商向网关提供客户信息。 网关使用客户信息和密钥从提供商请求安全凭证。 提供商向网关发送安全凭证。 然后,网关可以经由提供商从客户获得配置信息。

    Abstract: Embodiments may include a load balancer that receives a request packet sent by a remote client to an original destination address of multiple network addresses serviced by the load balancer, and selects according to a load balancing protocol, a host computer of a plurality of host computers to process the request. The load balancer may, from among a plurality of ports on the selected host computer, select a particular port having a one-to-one association with the original destination address, the association specified by mapping information accessible to the load balancer, and send the request packet to the selected port on the selected host computer. The mapping information accessible to the selected host computer specifies a one-to-one association between the selected port and the original destination address. Sending the request packet to the selected port conveys that address to the selected server without that address being included in that packet.
