Patent number: 11403028Abstract: Technologies are provided for backing virtualization containers with layered storage volumes stored in remote storage devices. A virtualization container can present a virtual storage volume to a process running in the virtualization container and handle data access requests from the process using a layered storage volume based on one or more read-only snapshots stored in one or more remote storage devices. Changes can be recorded in a read-write layer in one or more of the remote storage devices and associated with the layered storage volume. A new read-only snapshot can be created based on the data in the read-write storage layer and associated with the one or more read-only snapshots on which the layered storage volume is based. A virtualization container can be associated with a new layered storage volume based on the created read-only snapshot and the one or more read-only snapshots on which it is based.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Cornelle Christiaan Pretorius Janse van Rensburg, Samuel Benjamin Karp

Patent number: 11303509Abstract: Implementation resources are operated in a manner furthering a particular purpose while excluding use of the implementation resources for other purposes. At least some of the implementation resources have capacity that is usable to implement multiple other resources. The capacity of the implementation resources is allocated in a manner that satisfies one or more conditions on the capacity of the implementation resources that is used. Generally, the capacity is allocated in a manner that reduces the likelihood that resources initiated close in time will fail together should underlying implementation resources fail. The implementation resources may be hardware devices that implement virtual computer systems.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marc J. Brooker, Cornelle Christiaan Pretorius Janse Van Rensburg, Abhinav Agrawal, Adam D. Gray, Marvin M. Theimer, Peter N. DeSantis

Patent number: 10782990Abstract: At least one instance of an application is launched in a set of software containers that are distributed among a set of virtual machine instances. A set of measurements corresponding to resource utilization by a software container of the set of software containers is obtained and a timestamp is generated for the set of measurements. The set of measurements is aggregated, with other sets of measurements corresponding to the set of software containers for the application, into a set of aggregated measurements grouped in a time window group, based at least in part on the timestamp, and, as a result of fulfillment of a condition, the time window group is outputted.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony Joseph Suarez, Jia Bi Zhang, Christopher Brian Barclay, Anirudh Balachandra Aithal, Cornelle Christiaan Pretorius Janse Van Rensburg

Patent number: 10216921Abstract: Systems and methods for attesting to information about a computing resource involve electronically signed documents. For a computing resource, a document containing information about the resource is generated and electronically signed. The document may be provided to one or more entities as an attestation to at least some of the information contained in the document. Attestation to information in the document may be a prerequisite for performance of one or more actions that may be taken in connection with the computing resource.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Cornelle Christiaan Pretorius Janse Van Rensburg, Mark Joseph Cavage, Marc John Brooker, David Everard Brown, Abhinav Agrawal, Matthew S. Garman, Kevin Ross O'Neill, Eric Jason Brandwine, Christopher Richard Jacques de Kadt

Patent number: 9710122Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for an error support application. Error reports are received and correlated with aggregated known errors. Support is initiated as a function of whether the error is caused by a provided infrastructure service or developer functionality.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Suvenderan Pillay, Mahendra Manshi Chheda, Suraj Kumar Subrun, Daine Mimico Neale Mamacos, Cornelle Christiaan Pretorius Janse Van Rensburg

Patent number: 8775438Abstract: A provisioning system may select an available implementation resource by analyzing user data to infer a role of a proposed computing resource and comparing the role to roles of other existing computer resources. The user data may include a user-specified identifier for the proposed computing resource, such as a label. The role may be used to rank available implementation resources using factors including distance to, roles of, and relationship with other user computing resources. A ranking of available implementation resources may be used to select an implementation resource for provisioning the proposed computing resource.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2011Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Marc J.
