Troubleshooting network paths in a distributed computing environment

Remote computing resource service providers allow customers to reduce overhead by using computing resources shared with other customers. Customers communicate with the computing resources over a network, such as the Internet, these networks enable the use of remote computing resources but do experience errors. To ensure access to resources by the customer, a network troubleshooting service allows the customer to determine connectivity between computing resources and provides operations to the customer that when performed establish connectivity between computing resources. Furthermore, monitoring of connectivity once a connection is established ensures that the resources maintain connectivity.
