    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable health checking of computing devices within a virtual private cloud (VPC) networking environment, without requiring that the devices be accessible via a public network address. An endpoint is placed within the VPC, which enables interaction with an external health checking system via a substrate network. The endpoint handles communications between the heath checking system and the VPC, and can modify data originating from the health checking system such that it appears to originate from the endpoint. Thus, from the viewpoint of the VPC, the endpoint itself may appear to be conducting health checking. Thus, external health checking can be used on a VPC without compromising the security of the VPC by requiring that a portion of the VPC be externally addressable.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described to enable automation of service discovery records, such as domain name system (DNS) records, based on rules. An administrator of a hosted server, such as a virtual machine instance, may submit a rule to a rule-based DNS resolution system for generating DNS records to assist in discover of the hosted server. The rule may include criteria specifying servers to which the rule applies, as well as criteria for generating a domain name to associate with the server within a DNS record. The rule-based DNS resolution system can integrate with a hosting system providing the hosted server to obtain configuration information of the hosted server and generate DNS records in accordance with the rule. Rules may also be utilized to automate other aspects of the rule-based DNS resolution system, such as health checking and load balancing.
