Publication number: 20190156247Abstract: Techniques for dynamic accuracy-based experimentation and deployment of machine learning (ML) models are described. Inference traffic flowing to ML models and the accuracy of the models is analyzed and used to ensure that better performing models are executed more often via model selection. A predictive component can evaluate which model is more likely to be accurate for certain input data elements. Ensemble techniques can combine inference results of multiple ML models to aim to achieve a better overall result than any individual model could on its own.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Thomas Albert FAULHABER, JR., Edo LIBERTY, Stefano STEFANI, Zohar KARNIN, Craig WILEY, Steven Andrew LOEPPKY, Swaminathan SIVASUBRAMANIAN, Alexander Johannes SMOLA, Taylor GOODHART

Patent number: 10282231Abstract: Aspects of a data environment, such as various capacities of data stores and instances, can be managed using a separate control environment. A monitoring component of the control environment can periodically communicate with the data environment to obtain performance information. The information is analyzed, using algorithms such as trending and extrapolation algorithms, to determine any recommended scaling of resources in the data environment. The scaling can be performed automatically, or as authorized by a customer. A workflow can be instantiated that includes tasks necessary to perform the scaling. The scaling of storage capacity can be performed without affecting the availability of the data store.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Grant Alexander MacDonald McAlister, Milovan Milovanovic

Patent number: 10264062Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for request routing based on content popularity information are provided. A client computing device transmits a first DNS query to a content delivery network service provider. The content delivery network service provider transmits an alternative resource identifier in response to the client computing device DNS query. The alternative resource identifier is selected as a function of popularity information pertaining to the requested resource. The client computing device then transmits a second DNS query to the content delivery network service provider. The content delivery network service provider can then either resolve the second DNS query with an IP address of a cache component or transmit another alternative resource identifier that will resolve to the content delivery network service provider. The process can repeat until a DNS nameserver resolves a DNS query from the client computing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David R. Richardson, Bradley E. Marshall, Swaminathan Sivasubramanian

Publication number: 20190079857Abstract: Aspects of a data environment, such as the creation, provisioning, and management of data stores and instances, are managed using a separate control environment. A user can call into an externally-facing interface of the control environment, the call being analyzed to determine actions to be performed in the data environment. A monitoring component of the control plane also can periodically communicate with the data environment to determine any necessary actions to be performed, such as to recover from faults or events in the data environment. A workflow can be instantiated that includes tasks necessary to perform the action. For each task, state information can be passed to a component in the data environment operable to perform the task, until all tasks for an action are completed. Data in the data environment can be accessed directly using an externally-facing interface of the data environment, without accessing the control plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2018Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Grant Alexander MacDonald McAlister, Paul David Franklin, Rajesh Sudhakar Sheth, James Horsley

Patent number: 10230819Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for request routing based on content popularity information are provided. A client computer transmits a request for content from a content provider. The content provider utilizes executable code, such as translation request code, for facilitating request routing utilizing popularity information. The translation request code, may direct a client computing device to request further translation request code and/or translation information. Thereafter, the client issues a DNS query with the translated information including popularity information. The content delivery network service provider can then either resolve the DNS query with an IP address of a cache component or transmit another alternative resource identifier that will resolve to the content delivery network service provider. The process can repeat until a DNS nameserver resolves a DNS query from the client computing device.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David R.

Publication number: 20190073303Abstract: Resource management techniques, such as cache optimization, are employed to organize resources within caches such that the most requested content (e.g., the most popular content) is more readily available. A service provider utilizes content expiration data as indicative of resource popularity. As resources are requested, the resources propagate through a cache server hierarchy associated with the service provider. More frequently requested resources are maintained at edge cache servers based on shorter expiration data that is reset with each repeated request. Less frequently requested resources are maintained at higher levels of a cache server hierarchy based on longer expiration data associated with cache servers higher on the hierarchy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2018Publication date: March 7, 2019Inventors: Bradley Eugene Marshall, Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, David R.

Patent number: 10158579Abstract: Methods and apparatus for resource silos at network-accessible services are disclosed. A subset of resources used for a database service, including at least one resource from each of a plurality of data centers, is selected for membership in a resource silo based on grouping criteria. A silo routing layer node identifies the resource silo as the target silo to which a client work request is to be directed. The client work request is sent to a front-end resource of the target silo either by the client, or by the silo routing layer node on behalf of the client. The front-end resource of the target silo transmits a representation of the work request to a back-end resource of the target silo, where a work operation corresponding to request is performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Adam Douglas Morley, Vincent Anthony Brancato, Stefano Stefani, Jai Vasanth, Wei Xiao, Maximiliano Maccanti, Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Rande A.

Patent number: 10158729Abstract: A system and method for content distribution are provided. A content provider generates a network topology having one or more subnetworks made up of content sources. The content provider segments content, such as applications, into segments for distribution. The content provider then distributes the content such that for each identified subnetwork, each content segment is distributed to a content source. Subsequent, client computing device requests for content can be serviced by selecting a content source in a particular subnetwork selected for delivering the requested content to the client computing device to minimize traffic flow of the requested content through the nodes of the distribution network.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2018Date of Patent: December 18, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, David R.

Publication number: 20180240163Abstract: A computer system that provides clients access to pooled resources in order to provide computing or data storage services may receive service requests (which explicitly or implicitly include requests for pooled resources), may service at least some of those requests, and may determine pricing for the serviced requests. The pricing for each request may be dependent on whether it was serviced using a portion of a resource pool that was reserved for the use of the client on whose behalf it was received or using burst capacity (e.g., unreserved or otherwise idle capacity within the resource pool). Pricing for the use of reserved capacity may be fixed, regardless of the amount of reserved capacity used. Pricing for burst capacity may depend on actual use, and may be demand-based (e.g., using a spot-market-based dynamic pricing model). Clients with reserved capacity may optionally request access to burst capacity.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2018Publication date: August 23, 2018Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Swaminathan Sivasubramanian, Stefano Stefani
