Abstract
Techniques are described for providing users with access to computer networks, such as to enable users to create and configure computer networks that are provided by a remote configurable network service for the users' use. Computer networks provided by the configurable network service may be configured to be private computer networks that are accessible only by the users who create them, and may each be created and configured by a client of the configurable network service to be an extension to an existing computer network of the client, such as a private computer network extension to an existing private computer network of the client. In addition, access to remote resource services may be configured and provided from such computer networks in various manners, such as to automatically include access control information to limit access to particular resources to computing nodes at the location of that provided computer network.
