Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and computing devices that more efficiently and effectively manage storage quota enforcement are disclosed. With this technology, a quota ticket comprising a tally generation number (TGN) and a local allowed usage amount (AUA) are obtained. The local AUA comprises a portion of a global AUA associated with a quota rule. The local AUA is increased following receipt of another portion of the global AUA in a response from a cluster peer, when another TGN in the response matches the TGN and the local AUA is insufficient to execute a received storage operation associated with the quota rule. The local AUA is decreased by an amount corresponding to, and following execution of, the storage operation, when the increased local AUA is sufficient to execute the storage operation.

Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to migrating virtual computing instances such as virtual machines (VMs). In one embodiment, VMs are migrated across different virtual infrastructure platforms by, among other things, translating between resource models used by virtual infrastructure managers (VIMs) that manage the different virtual infrastructure platforms. VM migrations may also be validated prior to being performed, including based on resource policies that define what is and/or is not allowed to migrate, thereby providing compliance and controls for borderless data centers. In addition, an agent-based technique may be used to migrate VMs and physical servers to virtual infrastructure, without requiring access to an underlying hypervisor layer.

Abstract: In some implementations, a user interface for an application is displayed using a web browser instance on a client device. An input is received to present data on the user interface in a particular view. In response to the input, a first web worker thread corresponding to the web browser instance obtains data from a server, and executes first library routines to store the data in local storage at the client device. A second web worker thread, which corresponds to the web browser instance and the user interface, accesses the data from the local storage by using one or more second library routines, and processes the data to convert to a presentation format corresponding to the particular view. The second web worker thread stores the processed data in the local storage by using one or more third library routines, and provides the processed data for display on the user interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an approach for migrating the contents of an enclave, together with a virtual machine comprising the enclave, from a source host to a destination host. The approach provides a technique that allows the contents of the enclave to remain secure during the migration process, and also allows the destination host to decrypt the contents of the enclave upon receiving the contents and upon receiving the VM that includes the enclave. The approach allows for the VM to continue execution on the destination host. The enclave retains its state from source host to destination host. Applications using the enclave in the source host are able to continue using the enclave on the destination host using the data migrated from the source host to the destination host.

Abstract: Techniques for server movement control are described. A capacity library service (CLS) can manage which hosts in a provider network can be taken in and out of production. The CLS may also control which entities may remove hosts from production and under what conditions the hosts may be removed from production. In some embodiments, the CLS can execute various workflows to manage checkout and check-in of hosts. Workflows may also be used to manage hosts while they are out of production to manage state transitions (e.g., in production, in testing, in reserve, etc.) based on current host fleet capacity and checkout rules.

Abstract: In general, embodiments are disclosed herein for tracking and allocating graphics hardware resources. In one embodiment, a software and/or firmware process constructs a cross-application command queue utilization table based on one or more specified command queue quality of service (QoS) settings, in order to track the target and current utilization rates of each command queue on the graphics hardware over a given frame and to load work onto the graphics hardware in accordance with the utilization table. Based on the constructed utilization table for a given frame, any command queues that have exceed their respective target utilization value may be moved to an “inactive” status for the duration of the current frame. For any command queues that remain in an “active” status for the current frame, work from those command queues may be loaded on to slots of the appropriate data masters of the graphics hardware in any desired order.

Abstract: Monitoring backend batch processes/agents to identify currently enabled batch processes that running/executing on schedule and those that are not running/executing on schedule. In the event that currently enabled backend batch processes are identified as delayed, a delay time is determined. Such determinations are made on a regular interval, (e.g., hourly or the like), such that, reports is generated and communicated and/or a batch process status portal is updated on the regular interval to reflect the current delayed status of batch process or, in some embodiments, the current status of all of the backend batch processes currently enabled within an enterprise. Identification of backend batch processes that are currently being delayed and the associated delay time provides a basis for determining the cause(s) for the delay and possible corrective action(s), which may be implemented in conjunction with the determinations.
