This Elastic Block Storage (EBS) patent describes the management of the block storage to ensure that resources requested by clients are properly provisioned and available. For example, a client can request a resource. The EBS control module can create a volume, specifying the number of partitions and/or the way in which data is stored across partitions to guarantee the requested resource to the client. In addition, partitions and data storage can be updated dynamically without significantly… Show more

This Elastic Block Storage (EBS) patent describes the management of the block storage to ensure that resources requested by clients are properly provisioned and available. For example, a client can request a resource. The EBS control module can create a volume, specifying the number of partitions and/or the way in which data is stored across partitions to guarantee the requested resource to the client. In addition, partitions and data storage can be updated dynamically without significantly impacting the customer using the volume. The management and update of resources are optimized using various techniques, including striping data, splitting mapping data, and balancing the data in partitions. Show less

This patent relates to a way to reduce processing load on network routers in our AWS data centers. In particular, the described technology can offload pre-determined route calculations and storage from edge routers to a central processing system in order to increase edge router performance. In some cases, this facilitates the use of lower-capability, cheap commodity-based routers.

Systems and methods for providing resource isolation in a shared computing environment using reinforcement learning (RL) techniques are disclosed. A resource isolation mechanism may be applied in a shared storage system, or database service, that limits the resource utilization of each namespace to its specified allocation. For example, the resource isolation mechanism may be used to limit the I/O utilization of database applications in a shared computing system (e.g., a system supporting a… Show more

Systems and methods for providing resource isolation in a shared computing environment using reinforcement learning (RL) techniques are disclosed. A resource isolation mechanism may be applied in a shared storage system, or database service, that limits the resource utilization of each namespace to its specified allocation. For example, the resource isolation mechanism may be used to limit the I/O utilization of database applications in a shared computing system (e.g., a system supporting a database service) to a specified limit. In such embodiments, RL techniques may be applied to the system to automatically control the rate of queries made by an application. RL techniques, such as those based on the State-Action-Reward-State-Action (SARSA) method may be effective in controlling the I/O utilization of database applications for different workloads. RL techniques may be applied globally by the service, or may be applied to particular subscribers, applications, shared resources, namespaces, or query types. Show less

A system, method, and computer readable medium for managing CDN service providers are provided. A network storage provider storing one or more resources on behalf of a content provider obtains client computing device requests for content. The network storage provider processes the client computing device requests and determines whether a subsequent request for the resource should be directed to a CDN service provider as a function of the updated or processed by the network storage provider… Show more

A network storage provider storing one or more resources on behalf of a content provider obtains client computing device requests for content. The network storage provider processes the client computing device requests and determines whether a subsequent request for the resource should be directed to a CDN service provider as a function of the updated or processed by the network storage provider storage component.
