Patent number: 10810015Abstract: Approaches are described for enabling a host computing device to store credentials and other security information useful for recovering the state of the host computing device in a secure store, such as a trusted platform module (TPM) on the host computing device. When recovering the host computing device in the event of a failure (e.g., power outage, network failure, etc.), the host computing device can obtain the necessary credentials from the secure store and use those credentials to boot various services, restore the state of the host and perform various other functions. In addition, the secure store (e.g., TPM) may provide boot firmware measurement and remote attestation of the host computing devices to other devices on a network, such as when the recovering host needs to communicate with the other devices on the network.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Nachiketh Rao Potlapally, Rachit Chawla, Jeremy Ryan Volkman, Michael David Marr

Patent number: 9992064Abstract: The following description is directed to configuring network devices. In one example, at a network device deployment pipeline, a request can be received from a non-integrated configuration tool to configure a network device of a network. The configuration of the network device can be scheduled so that both an integrated configuration tool of the network device deployment pipeline and the non-integrated configuration tool can configure the network.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rachit Chawla, Christopher John Rose, Jeremy Ryan Volkman, Mayilan Balachandran, Christopher Edward Folger, Kenneth Oliver Henderson, Jr., Dmytro Taran, Abhoy Bhaktwatsalam, Justin Oliver Pietsch

Patent number: 9893940Abstract: The following description is directed to topologically aware network device configuration. In one example, components to be configured within a network can be mapped to one or more redundancy groups within a network topology of the network. The components to be configured can be selectively configured within the network so that network traffic continues during the configuration. Selectively configuring the components can include choosing an order to configure the components based on configuration rules and the mapping of the components to the one or more redundancy groups.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rachit Chawla, Mayilan Balachandran, Jeremy Ryan Volkman, Christopher John Rose, Kenneth Oliver Henderson, Jr., Muralidhar Koka, Abhoy Bhaktwatsalam

Patent number: 9419856Abstract: The following description is directed to configuring network devices. In one example, a deployed configuration for a network device can be collected. The deployed configuration can be representative of a state of the network device at the time of collection. A difference can be detected between the deployed configuration and an authoritative configuration for the network device. In response to detecting the difference, an update of the network device according to the authoritative configuration for the network device can be scheduled.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rachit Chawla, Christopher John Rose, Jeremy Ryan Volkman, Mayilan Balachandran, Justin Oliver Pietsch, Abhoy Bhaktwatsalam
