  • Publication number: 20240126623
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for tracing service interactions without global transaction identifiers are disclosed. A service monitoring system receives an event message from a first service in a service-oriented system. The event message comprises one or more elements of data from a body of a service request from an upstream service. The first service initiates a sub-task associated with the service request. The service monitoring system receives one or more additional event messages from one or more additional services. The additional event message(s) comprise one or more additional elements of data from one or more additional service requests associated with one or more additional sub-tasks. The service monitoring system determines, based (at least in part) on the element(s) of data in the event message and the additional element(s) of data in the additional event message(s), that the sub-task and the additional sub-task(s) are associated with a higher-level task.

  • Publication number: 20240127575
    Abstract: Learning iterations, individual ones of which include a respective bucket group selection phase and a class boundary refinement phase, are performed using a source data set whose records are divided into buckets. In the bucket group selection phase of an iteration, a bucket is selected for annotation based on output obtained from a classification model trained in the class boundary refinement phase of an earlier iteration. In the class boundary refinement phase, records of buckets annotated as positive-match buckets for a target class in the bucket group selection phase are selected for inclusion in a training set for a new version of the model using a model enhancement criterion. The trained version of the model is stored.

  • Publication number: 20240121162
    Abstract: A simulation environment (e.g., multi-player game) hosted by a provider network may implement componentized entities to reduce the amount of resource usage for a simulation (e.g., by reducing the amount of input/state data transmitted through the use of dynamically changing input structures). A user may add or remove any number of components to an entity that is simulated at the local client device. When inputs are received for one or more components, values for predictive states are locally determined for each component. An input packet is generated and sent to the provider network, which includes the inputs as well as data that is based on the values for the locally predicted states (e.g., a fingerprint or other unique ID). If necessary, a correction packet may be generated at the provider network and sent back to the client.

  • Publication number: 20240111562
    Abstract: An Application Programming Interface (API) allows a launching of a virtual machine where a queue count can be configured by a user. More specifically, each virtual machine can be assigned a pool of queues. Additionally, each virtual machine can have multiple virtual networking interfaces and a user can assign a number of queues from the pool to each virtual networking interface. Thus, a new metadata field is described that can be used with requests to launch a virtual machine. The metadata field includes one or more parameters that associate a number of queues with each virtual networking interface. A queue count can be dynamically configured by a user to ensure that the queues are efficiently used given that the user understands the intended application of the virtual machine being launched.

  • Publication number: 20240113998
    Abstract: Connectivity is enabled between a first and second isolated network using a virtual traffic hub that includes a decision master node responsible for determining a routing action for a packet received at the hub. At the hub, a determination is made that a particular domain name system (DNS) message being directed to a first resource in the first isolated network is to include an indication of a second resource in the second isolated network. The second resource is assigned a network address within a private address range of the second isolated network, which overlaps with a private address range being used in the first isolated network. The hub causes a transformed version of the network address to be included in the DNS message delivered to the first resource.

  • Publication number: 20240114035
    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a policy refiner application used to analyze and recommend modifications to identity and access management policies created by users of a cloud provider network (e.g., to move the policies toward least-privilege permissions). A policy refiner application receives as input a policy to analyze, and a log of events related to activity associated with one or more accounts of a cloud provider network. The policy refiner application can identify, from the log of events, actions that were permitted based on particular statements contained in the policy. Based on field values contained in the corresponding events, the policy refiner application generates an abstraction of the field values, where the abstraction of the field values may represent a more restrictive version of the field from a policy perspective. These abstractions can be presented to users as recommendations for modifying their policy to reduce the privileges granted by the policy.

  • Publication number: 20240111751
    Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing record locking for transactions using a probabilistic data structure are described. This probabilistic structure enables adding of data records without growth of the data structure. The data structure includes a hash table for each of multiple hash functions, where entries in the respective hash tables store a transaction time and locking state. To lock a record, each hash function is applied to a record key to provide an index into a respective hash table and a minimum of the values stored in the hash tables is retrieved. If the retrieved value is less than a transaction time for a transaction attempting to lock the record, locking is permitted and the transaction time is recorded to each of the hash tables. To commit the transaction, the probabilistic data structure is atomically updated as part of the commit operation.

    Abstract: A system and method for indicating, via a heralding signal, that an amplitude damping decay event has occurred within a quantum low-density parity-check code is disclosed. Logical information may be encoded into a superconducting qubit using one or more transmons, wherein a first level and a second level are encoded into a code space of the qubit, and at least one intermediate level outside of the code space characterizes an amplitude damping decay channel which is then used to herald an amplitude damping decay event. Dynamical decoupling pulse sequences may be used to drive such qubit structures and bias noise towards the amplitude damping decay channel. The one or more heralding signals within a lower-level code may then be used as input to a quantum low-density parity-check code for decoding syndrome measurements with the knowledge of occurrences of amplitude damping decay as indicated via the one or more heralding signals.

    Abstract: A feature deployment service of a provider network may deploy feature processing units (FPUs) to implement data processing features at both a provider network and edge devices. The use of FPUs may allow a client to use new features at the edge, without delays due to compliance/testing or software upgrades. An FPU includes a model and compute logic that are used to implement a data processing feature. A feature processing service deploys the FPU to an FPU engine at the provider network and also deploys the FPU to edge devices of the client's network that each include an edge FPU engine. The FPU engine at the provider network and the edge FPU engine at each edge device conform to a common specification/API, allowing deployment and use of the same FPU/data processing features at both the cloud and the edge.

    Abstract: A timecoding technique for determining and assigning timecodes for variable frame rate video. Content identified for timecode assignment is decoded, and for sequential frames of the content, portions of timestamps are compared to determine if the frames are from a same time period (e.g., from the same second in time). For a subsequent frame from the same time period, an index is atomically incremented, a timecode generated from a combination of the time period and the index, and the timecode assigned to the frame. For a subsequent frame from a different time period, the index is initialized, a timecode generated from a combination of the different time period and the initialized index, and the timecode assigned to the frame. Accumulated durations of frames may be used in place of timestamps, in some instances.
