    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of cloud provider services to verify, via cryptographic attestation, that trusted “enclaves” are used to process user data during limited points in time at which user data may be unencrypted or otherwise vulnerable. A cloud provider service processes requests involving user data at least in part using an enclave, where an enclave includes a virtual machine running on isolated computing resources of a host computing device managed by the cloud provider. The enclave, for example, can include an application that performs operations such as decrypting user data included in requests sent to a service (e.g., user data encrypted as part of a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection established between the service and a client computing device), obtaining user-specific encryption keys from a key management service or other source, encrypting the user data using the encryption keys, and forwarding the encrypted data for further processing.

    Abstract: An application programming interface gateway service generates an application programming interface that, in various examples, allows client applications to access database functionality without maintaining active database connections, managing database credentials, or providing SQL code. The application programming interface maintains state information between invocations that allows for improved database performance. The state information may include SQL statements and subroutines, compiled SQL code, database credentials, active database connections, and connection pools. When invoked by a client application, the application programming interface may select an active database connection from a connection pool based at least in part on the activity history of each connection in the connection pool so that the expected cache performance of the database may be improved. Access to the application programming interface may be controlled via fine-grained access controls independent of the credentials used to access the database.

    Abstract: Techniques for deperimeterized access control are described. A method of deperimeterized access control may include receiving, by a controller of a deperimeterized access control service, a single packet authorization (SPA) request for a session ticket from an agent on a electronic device, wherein the agent sends the request for the session ticket in response to intercepting traffic destined for a service associated with the deperimeterized access control service and determining that the agent does not have a session ticket for the service, authorizing the SPA request, providing a session ticket to the agent based on the request, receiving, by a gateway of the deperimeterized access control service, a request to initiate a session with a service, the request including the session ticket, validating the session ticket, and providing session parameters to the agent to be used to initiate the session between the electronic device and the service.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing communications between multiple computing nodes, such as for computing nodes that are part of managed virtual computer networks provided on behalf of users or other entities. In some situations, one or more of the computing nodes of a managed virtual computer network is configured to perform actions to extend capabilities of the managed virtual computer network to other computing nodes that are not part of the managed virtual computer network, such as by forwarding communications between computing nodes of the managed virtual computer network and the other external computing nodes so as to enable the other external computing nodes to participate in the managed virtual computer network. In some situations, the computing nodes may include virtual machine nodes hosted on one or more physical computing machines or systems, such as by or on behalf of one or more users.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing managed computer networks, such as for managed virtual computer networks overlaid on one or more other underlying computer networks. In some situations, the techniques include facilitating replication of a primary computing node that is actively participating in a managed computer network, such as by maintaining one or more other computing nodes in the managed computer network as replicas, and using such replica computing nodes in various manners. For example, a particular managed virtual computer network may span multiple broadcast domains of an underlying computer network, and a particular primary computing node and a corresponding remote replica computing node of the managed virtual computer network may be implemented in distinct broadcast domains of the underlying computer network, with the replica computing node being used to transparently replace the primary computing node in the virtual computer network if the primary computing node becomes unavailable.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing virtual networking functionality for managed computer networks. In some situations, a user may configure or otherwise specify a logical network topology for a managed computer network with multiple computing nodes that includes one or more virtual networking devices each associated with a specified group of the multiple computing nodes. Corresponding networking functionality may be provided for communications between the multiple computing nodes by emulating functionality that would be provided by the networking devices if they were physically present and configured to support the specified network topology. In some situations, the managed computer network is a virtual computer network overlaid on a substrate network, and the networking device functionality emulating includes receiving routing communications directed to the networking devices and using included routing information to update the specified network topology for the managed computer network.
