    Abstract: A network routing server can be configured to receive client requests from multiple client devices and route the client requests to optimal service providers to service the request. To determine which service provider is optimal to service the client request, the network routing service can analyze multiple factors, such as geographic location of the client, geographic location of the service providers, and health metrics describing service quality of the various service providers. Health metrics can include Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage, bandwidth, memory usage, connectivity, service providers network status, network latency, user capacity saturation, etc. Based on an analysis of this data, the network routing service can determine the service provider that is best suited to service the client request and route the client request accordingly.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described to display usage data that is collected regarding the employee's use of corporate computing resources and obtain the employee's permission to collect the usage data. A data schema associated with the usage data may be determined. Data elements included in the usage data may be determined based at least in part on the data schema. A permission model associated with the usage data may be determined. Based at least in part on the permission model, one or more additional employees that have access to the usage data may be determined. The employee may use a user interface to display the type of usage data that is being collected and the one or more additional employees that have access to the usage data. The employee may use the user interface to provide permission to collect the type of usage data.

    Abstract: A context-aware delegation engine can enable an account owner to identify granular criteria (or context) that will be used to determine what content a delegate will have access to. The account owner can therefore leverage a wide range of information to dynamically determine whether a delegate will receive access to particular content. The delegation engine can be configured to provide a delegation policy to be evaluated to determine whether a delegate should receive access to particular content. Such a delegation policy can be generated based on input provided by the delegator thereby providing the delegator with fine-grained control over which content will be accessible to a particular delegate. The delegation policy can be structured in accordance with an authorization protocol schema such as XACML, SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID, etc. to allow the evaluation of the delegation policy to be performed by a policy decision point in such authorization architectures.

    Abstract: A management system sends a first request for first data associated with multiple network entities. If the first request times out, the first request is split to create multiple smaller requests and the multiple smaller requests sent, requesting data from a subset of the multiple network entities. Based on responses to the multiple smaller requests, the management system identifies a particular network entity that caused the first request to time out and adds the particular network entity to a set of problematic entities. The management system sends a second request that requests second data from a portion of the multiple network entities that excludes the particular network entity. The multiple network entities may include one or more of a virtual machine (VM), a host node (to host VMs), a storage device, a network link, another type of network entity, or any combination thereof.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques to identify and modify unused (or seldom used) access privileges are described. Group membership data may be correlated with access map data to create a user-resource access map identifying privilege levels associated with individual user accounts to access computing resources in a computing system. User activity event logs generated as a result of user accounts accessing the resources may be correlated with the user-resource access map to identify user accounts that do not use (or seldom use) particular privilege levels to access particular resources. The identified user accounts may be modified to remove the unused (or seldom used) privileges levels.
