Publication number: 20230384948Abstract: Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store network-accessible block data storage volumes that may be used by programs executing on other physical computing systems. A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other physical computing systems at that data center. If a program using a volume becomes unavailable, another program (e.g., another copy of the same program) may in some situations obtain access to and continue to use the same volume, such as in an automatic manner in some such situations.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Roland Paterson-Jones, Peter N.

Publication number: 20230107188Abstract: Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store copies of network-accessible block data storage volumes that may be used by programs executing on other physical computing systems, and snapshot copies of some volumes may also be stored (e.g., on remote archival storage systems). A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other computing systems at that data center, while the archival storage systems may be located outside the data center. The snapshot copies of volumes may be used in various ways, including to allow users to obtain their own copies of other users' volumes (e.g., for a fee).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Peter N.

Patent number: 11263069Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for determining whether a computing node is in a normal or an abnormal condition based on its characteristics relative to those of other computing nodes. In embodiments, characteristics about computing nodes (e.g., CPU resources used) are used to cluster those computing nodes, and those computing nodes that lie outside of a cluster are identified as abnormal.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Carl Bellingan, Atle Normann Jorgensen

Patent number: 10929259Abstract: Systems and methods for performing diagnostic tests within a multi-tenant environment are described. Diagnostics are performed on one or more components, such as host computing devices. The one or more components send resulting diagnostic information to an ingester which collects the diagnostic information. The ingester then sends the diagnostic information to a database. A generator is able to query the information in the database and create metrics. Based at least in part on metrics, an alarm may be triggered.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Carl Bellingan, Matthew James Eddey, Anton André Eicher, Atle Normann Jorgensen, André Mostert

Patent number: 9817756Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a virtual machine to be presented with an amount of available guest memory, where a hypervisor or other privileged component manages the mapping of the guest memory to either volatile memory (e.g., RAM) or to secondary storage (e.g., SSD). This enables volatile memory to be effectively oversubscribed to on host computing devices that have a limited amount of total available volatile memory but which are running multiple virtual machines. For example, each virtual machine on the device can be presented as having access to the total amount of available RAM that is available on the device. The hypervisor or other virtualization component then monitors the usage of the memory by each virtual machine and shapes which portions of the guest memory for that virtual machine are mapped to RAM and which portions are mapped to secondary storage, such as SSD.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2013Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Atle Normann Jorgensen

Patent number: 9262273Abstract: Techniques are described for managing access of executing programs to non-local block data storage. In some situations, a block data storage service uses multiple server storage systems to reliably store block data that may be accessed over one or more networks by programs executing on other physical computing systems. Users may create block data storage volumes that are each stored by at least two of the server block data storage systems, and may initiate use of such volumes by one or more executing programs, such as in a reliable manner by enabling an automatic switch to a second volume copy if a first volume copy becomes unavailable. A group of multiple server block data storage systems that store block data volumes may in some situations be co-located at a data center, and programs that use volumes stored there may execute on other physical computing systems at that data center.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2014Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew S.

Patent number: 9176764Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling a virtual machine to be presented with an amount of available guest memory, where a hypervisor or other privileged component manages the mapping of the resources based at least in part on the capacity of resources one or more hosts. This enables resources to be effectively oversubscribed to on host computing devices that have a limited amount of total available resources but which are running multiple virtual machines. For example, each virtual machine on the device can be presented as having access to the total amount of available resources that are available on the device or more in some cases. In some cases, resources may be mapped to a plurality of hosts that have available resources.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Atle Normann Jorgensen
