Abstract
Methods and apparatus for managing pooled client-premise resources via provider-defined interfaces are described. A pool management request is received from a client via a programmatic interface implemented at a provider network, indicating at least one resource located at a data center external to the provider network. An activation status of the resource within a pool is to be managed by a service of the provider network. A network connection between an administrative resource of the service, located within the provider network, and a control module instantiated on behalf of the service at the external data center is established. A command is transmitted from the administrative resource to the control module to activate the particular resource.
