Abstract: A distributed data store may provide continuous backup for data stored in the distributed data store. Updates to data may be replicated amongst storage nodes according to a peer-to-peer replication scheme. A backup node may participate in the peer-to-peer replication scheme to identify additional updates to be applied to a backup version of the data in a separate data store. The backup node may obtain the updates according to the peer-to-peer replication scheme and update the backup version of the data. In some embodiments, configuration changes to the data in the distributed data store may be detected via the peer-to-peer replication scheme such that a backup node can adapt performance of backup operations in conformity with the configuration change.

Abstract: Computing resource service providers provide computing resources to customers in a multi-tenant environment. Communication between resources in a customer's virtual private network and an internet gateway in the form of data packets may be intercepted and processed by a firewall to help ensure that traffic entering or exiting the customer's virtual private network is valid and secure. These data packets are intercepted and analyzed by a service in a separate virtual private network and filtered in a way such that data packets with the same networking flow are provided to the same firewall servers so that firewall rules applied to the data packets are consistent.

Abstract: A method of postponing an electronic message is performed at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. The device displays a first electronic message for a user of the computing device and receives user input to postpone the first electronic message. In response to the user input, the device displays a plurality of postponement locations in a user interface window and receives user selection of a postponement location from the displayed plurality of postponement locations. The device then inhibits display of the first electronic message at the computing device. When it is subsequently determined that the computing device is at the first postponement location, the device redisplays the first electronic message.
