  • Patent number: 12050534
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for implementing a multi-tenant caching service. The multi-tenant caching service provides a scalable infrastructure with dedicated per-tenant cache widths for tenants of a hosted computing environment, and allows tenants to implement a caching layer between cloud-based services that would otherwise need to scale up in response to load. Tenants may also use the service as a public facing endpoint that caches content provided by backend servers. Content provided by the tenants may be distributed and cached across a cell-based architecture, each cell of which may include a set of storage volumes that are partitioned into caches for individual tenants and configured to store a portion of the content provided by that tenant. Eviction policies may be implemented based on tenant cache usage across multiple cells, and geolocation policies may be implemented to ensure that cached content remains within a particular geographic region.

  • Patent number: 12052325
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a method for segmenting large MQTT messages that exceed a maximum transport unit (MTU) for MQTT messages into smaller segments and then reassembling the segments into the original MQTT message. More particularly, the techniques and architecture provide two new fields within an existing MQTT message. In configurations, the two new fields may include a universally unique identifier (UUID) and a segment number. These two new fields enable segmentation of arbitrarily large messages at a publisher side of the MQTT message and reassembly of the segments of the large messages at the subscriber side so that the message size limitation may be overcome. This can allow for larger MQTT messages to be transmitted without the increased cost of larger maximum transport units.

  • Patent number: 12052447
    Abstract: Dynamically re-locating transcoding processes of live content data is described herein. In an example, a computer system causes a first server to execute a first transcode process on a first portion of live stream content. A first output of executing the first transcode process includes first transcoded content. The computer system determines a transcode capacity of one or more servers. The computer system determines that transcoding the live stream content is to be moved to a second server based at least in part on the transcode capacity and a transcode optimization parameter. The computer system causes the second server to execute a second transcode process on a second portion of the live stream content. The second transcode process is equivalent to the first transcode process. A second output of executing the second transcode process includes second transcoded content.

  • Patent number: 12052310
    Abstract: An origin server that is implemented within one or more devices within a third party virtual private cloud (VPC) is provided herein. Instead of communicating with various CDNs over a public network, the third party VPC may instead communicate with a managed VPC via a private network. Thus, no gateway, network address translation (NAT), or other such devices may be needed for the third party VPC and the managed VPC to communicate. Rather, a VPC identifier of the managed VPC and a VPC identifier of the third party VPC are used to pair the two VPCs. Once paired, a private route is set up such that points from the private address space of the third party VPC to the private address space of the managed VPC. The managed VPC then communicates directly with the various CDNs via a public network.

  • Patent number: 12052458
    Abstract: Techniques for controlling an interface of a multi-input modality device are described. In an example, a device presents a menu on a display in a first input modality mode of the device. The menu includes graphical user interface (GUI) elements. The first input modality mode corresponds to a first type of input modality. The device receives first input corresponding to a second type of input modality. The device presents the menu on the display in a second input modality mode of the device that corresponds to the second type of input modality. The first input modality mode and the second input modality mode are exclusive to each other and each provide a different menu navigation control. The device changes a presentation of a visual indicator at a first location associated with a first GUI element of the GUI elements in the menu based on the second input modality mode.

  • Publication number: 20240248979
    Abstract: An Identity and Access Management Service implements persistent source values PSVs) for assumed identities. A source value (e.g., an original identifier of an entity) is persisted across assumed identities, facilitating identification of entities (users or applications) responsible for actions taken by the assumed (e.g., alternative) identities. The Manager receives a request to assume an identity. The request includes the entities current credentials and a PSV. The current credentials are authenticated and a persistent source value policy may be relied on to determine whether and/or how to grant the assumed identity. The PSV may be copied from credentials in the request in order to be included in the credentials for the requested identity that the Manager provides in response to the request. Use of the requested credentials, including the PSV, to access services or resources may be logged, the logs including the PSV from the request to assume the identity.

  • Patent number: 12045264
    Abstract: A connected device at a client network implements a local data classification service for classifying data based on a data classification service of a remote provider network. The local data classification service receives a request to classify data at one or more data sources of the client network. The request is initiated from a client device of the client network according to a management interface for a data classification service of a remote provider network (e.g., using the same API request used by the remote classification service). The local data classification service obtains at least some of the data from the one or more data sources of the client network. The local data classification service classifies the obtained data according to different types of sensitivity using the data classification engine in the execution environment without the data being exposed outside of a data isolation boundary of the client network.
