    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reconfiguring hosts in provider network environments in which hosts are evaluated to determine if steps of a full rebuild can be skipped. The hosts may implement slots of different types for virtual machines (VMs). Upon detecting that slots of a particular type are needed, a host that implements slots of another type may be selected for reconfiguration. The host may be evaluated to determine if one or more steps of a full rebuild can be skipped. The host may then be reconfigured to implement slots of the target type according to results of the evaluation. In at least some reconfigurations, at least one step of a full rebuild procedure is not performed for the respective host. Results of previous reconfigurations may be fed back into the evaluation process and used as one of the criteria for determining if steps can be skipped.

    Abstract: A virtual computer system service receives a request to migrate a virtual machine instance from a first physical host to another physical host. The virtual computer system service identifies a configuration of the first physical host and obtains a data structure that specifies compatibility values for pairings of physical host configurations. The virtual computer system uses the configuration of the first physical host and the data structure to select a compatible physical host configuration. Using this compatible physical host configuration, the virtual computer system service selects a set of physical hosts that have this compatible physical host configuration. The set of physical hosts is used to select a second physical host onto which the virtual machine instance is migrated.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of a system and method for personalized commands are described. The system and method for personalized commands may include a payment service including a command management component. Such payment service may be responsive to one or more base commands. The command management component may be configured to generate a user interface for specifying personalized commands that correspond to the base commands. The command management component may be configured to generate mapping information from the information received via the user interface. The command management component may be configured to receive one or more messages that may include commands for the payment service, including personalized commands. From the personalized commands, the command management component may be configured to determine a corresponding base commands (e.g., based on the mapping information). Once the base command is determined, the payment service may perform the base command.

    Abstract: Anonymous mobile payments enable a user to make and/or receive payments without disclosing personal or private information to another party. In some aspects, a provider of a payment may request an anonymous payment for a specified value from a host. In response, the host may transmit to the provider a code that is available for redemption. The provider may then relay the code to a recipient, who may redeem the code from the host. In other aspects, a recipient may request a temporary identifier (special code) from a host. The recipient may relay the temporary identifier to a provider, who may in turn transmit a payment, via the host, using the temporary identifier. The recipient may then claim the payment from the host. In additional aspects, the codes of the anonymous payments may include expiration times and/or restrictions on a number of uses of the code.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for the planning of resources used in computing. Usage statistics regarding one or more virtual machine instances executing in a networked plurality of computing devices are obtained. The usage statistics are grouped, for example, based on one or more customer usage classifications, thereby producing one or more usage groups. A corresponding demand forecast is generated for each of the usage groups. A projected demand for one or more physical components of the networked computing devices is calculated according to the demand forecasts.
