    Abstract: Customers in a multi-tenant environment can obtain energy consumption information for a set of resources or other computing components used by those customers, including time-accurate accounting for various components of those resources utilized on behalf of the customer. A customer can also have the ability to specify how the resources are to be operated when used for the customer, in order to manage the amount of energy consumption. The accounting can be performed even when the resources are shared among multiple users or entities. Various hardware components or agents can be used to provide detailed energy consumption information for those components that is associated with a particular customer. The information can be used not only for accounting and monitoring purposes, but also to make dynamic adjustments based on various changes in usage, energy consumption, or other such factors.

    Abstract: A trusted computing host is described that provides various security computations and other functions in a distributed multitenant and/or virtualized computing environment. The trusted host computing device can communicate with one or more host computing devices that host virtual machines to provide a number of security-related functions, including but not limited to boot firmware measurement, cryptographic key management, remote attestation, as well as security and forensics management. The trusted computing host maintains an isolated partition for each host computing device in the environment and communicates with peripheral cards on host computing devices in order to provide one or more security functions.

    Abstract: Each server in a server group of a data center can run a data collection agent. The agent can collect data from a respective server in the server group. The data can include a performance characteristic (i.e., performance data) associated with the respective server. If the performance characteristic falls outside an allowable range, the agent can broadcast this information to other agents at other servers in the server group. If the other agents at the other servers in the server group detect a similar performance characteristic outside the allowable range, they can broadcast as well. If there is a sufficiently high quantity of broadcasts, then that can indicate a high likelihood that there is a potential problem with respect to servers in the server group. The problem can be reported to the central controller, which can then handle the problem appropriately (e.g., issue an alarm, contact support technician, etc.).

    Abstract: Host machines and other devices performing synchronized operations can be dispersed across multiple racks in a data center to provide additional buffer capacity and to reduce the likelihood of congestion. The level of dispersion can depend on factors such as the level of oversubscription, as it can be undesirable in a highly connected network to push excessive host traffic into the aggregation fabric. As oversubscription levels increase, the amount of dispersion can he reduced and two or more host machines can be clustered on a given rack, or otherwise connected through the same edge switch. By clustering a portion of the machines, some of the host traffic can he redirected by the respective edge switch without entering the aggregation fabric. When provisioning hosts for a customer, application, or synchronized operation, for example, the levels of clustering and dispersion can be balanced to minimize the likelihood for congestion throughout the network.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing computing resources. In one embodiment, data representative of an abstracted firmware framework is maintained. The data may comprise computing firmware settings and determined based on standardized associations between vendor-specific firmware settings and abstracted firmware settings that are independent of the vendor-specific firmware settings. In response to receiving a request for a computing firmware setting, the requested computing firmware setting is translated to one or more vendor-specific firmware settings based on the data. A computing resource capable of implementing the one or more vendor-specific firmware settings is identified.

    Abstract: The deployment and scaling of a network of electronic devices can be improved by utilizing one or more network transpose boxes. Each transpose box can include a number of connectors and a meshing useful for implementing a specific network topology. Different tiers of a network can be connected to one or more of the network transpose boxes, and operated as a logical switch. A control server can be used to manage the control plane operations of the logical switch.
