Patent number: 11656912Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of a cloud provider network to request the conditional termination of computing resources based on a forecasted availability of replacement capacity at a specified time or range of time in the future. A cloud provider network provides an application programming interface that can be used to make such requests, where the computing resources are hosted by the cloud provider network as part of a capacity pool shared by tenants of the cloud provider network. This type of request can be generated, for example, by a user desiring to terminate the use of some number of unproductive computing resources only if the user can be reasonably assured by the cloud provider network that capacity will be available at a future time when the user will likely need the capacity again.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joshua M Burgin, Jacob Adam Gabrielson, Elton Victor Pinto

Patent number: 11652720Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for predicting deployment growth on one or more node clusters and selectively permitting deployment requests on a per cluster basis. For example, systems disclosed herein may apply tenant growth prediction system trained to output a deployment growth classification indicative of a predicted growth of deployments on a node cluster. The system disclosed herein may further utilize the deployment growth classification to determine whether a deployment request may be permitted while maintaining a sufficiently sized capacity buffer to avoid deployment failures for existing deployments previously implemented on the node cluster. By selectively permitting or denying deployments based on a variety of factors, the systems described herein can more efficiently utilize cluster resources on a per-cluster basis without causing a significant increase in deployment failures for existing customers.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shandan Zhou, John Lawrence Miller, Christopher Cowdery, Thomas Moscibroda, Shanti Kemburu, Yong Xu, Si Qin, Qingwei Lin, Eli Cortez, Karthikeyan Subramanian

Patent number: 11650854Abstract: Among other things, a machine-based method comprises receiving an application specification comprising one or more algorithms. Each algorithm is not necessarily suitable for concurrent execution on multiple nodes in parallel. One or more different object classes are grouped into one or more groups, each being appropriate for executing the one or more algorithms of the application specification. The executing involves data that is available in objects of the object classes. A user is enabled to code an algorithm of the one or more algorithms for one group in a single threaded environment without regard to concurrent execution of the algorithm on multiple nodes in parallel. An copy of the coded algorithm is distributed to each of the multiple nodes, without needing additional coding. The coded algorithm is caused to be executed on each node in association with at least one instance of a group independently of and in parallel to executing the other copies of the coded algorithm on the other nodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Miosoft CorporationInventors: Ernst M.
