    Abstract: Software packages may be installed, uninstalled and/or updated across a group of computing instances by way of a single issuance of a user request. The request may include information such as a software package name, a software package version, an action (e.g., install or uninstall), and one or more operating constraints for the software package. For an installation request, an agent on a given computing instance may process the request by accessing a manifest that indicates various computing instance characteristics (e.g., operating system types, architecture types, etc.) and various respective available versions of the software package. The agent may then select, based on characteristics of the computing instance, a package type for the computing instance. An installation request may also allow operating constraints (e.g. regarding usage of processing, memory, I/O and other resources) to be set and enforced for the software package.

    Abstract: A virtual computer system management service receives input from a user specifying operations to be performed by a web-based service. The input includes an indication of a set of resources to be used to perform the operations and control information to control the set of resources to perform the operations. The virtual computer system management service configures the resources to perform the operations according to the control information. This causes the set of resources to perform the operations and provide a result. The virtual computer system management service provides this result to the user.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to one or more computing services that provide users with secure access to a computing instance, which is auditable and accessible via a cross-platform browser-based shell or command-line interface (CLI). The computing service(s) forego any need to open up inbound ports, thereby improving security. The computing service(s) employ centralized authentication and auditing to ensure compliance with policies and to log activities for auditing, forensics, or other purposes. A message gateway service creates secure channels with a client device and the computing instance to establish a secure communication tunnel between the client device and computing instance. Once the tunnel is established, a user can send a command via the client device to the computing instance, via the message gateway service. The command output is uploaded to this tunnel and is sent back to the client device, via the message gateway service.

    Abstract: Techniques for operating a multi-homed computing instance process are described herein. First credentials associated with a first attribute of a first account may be obtained. A process executing on a computing instance may communicate with the first account over a first communication channel based at least in part on the first credentials. Instructions may be received for the process to communicate with both the first account and a second account. Second credentials associated with a second attribute of the second account may be obtained. The second credentials may be obtained based, at least in part, on the first attribute acquiring the second attribute. The process may communicate with the second account over a second communication channel based at least in part on the second credentials. Additionally, the process may communicate with multiple different representations of a particular account, such as different representations that are hosted in different respective regions.
