Abstract: A workload adaptation service of a provider network may perform smart deployment of industrial an IoT workload across resources of a provider network and a client network. The workload adaptation service may receive, from a user, an indication of one or more constraints for performance of a workload (e.g., daily upload limit, maximum acceptable latency). The service determines a deployment for the workload across client resources and provider resources based at least on the constraints. The service deploys portions of the workload to the client network and other portions to the provider network according to the deployment. The workload adaptation service may also perform dynamic adaptation of the IoT workload by moving portions of the workload from the client network to the provider network or vice-versa, based on workload performance metrics or based on changes to the available resources.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to managing regions of memory are described. Managing regions can include verifying whether an access command is authorized to access a particular region of a memory array, which may have some regions that have rules or restrictions governing access (e.g., so-called “protected regions”). The authorization can be verified utilizing a key and a memory address corresponding to the access command. If an access command is authorized to access a region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command can be activated. If an access command is not authorized to access the region, then a row of the memory array corresponding to the access command may not be activated.

Abstract: A cloud capacity system enables calculation and tracking of cloud capacity metrics for data center pods. The system includes a “Cloud Capacity Snapshot” table having a number of different cloud capacity columns; a “Cloud Capacity Query” table that stores a respective, customizable query for each of the cloud capacity columns defining criteria for selecting and combining data to calculate the corresponding cloud capacity metric value; and a “Cloud Capacity URLs” table that stores cloud capacity universal resource locator (URLs). Each cloud capacity URL embodies or encodes a respective cloud capacity query of the “Cloud Capacity Query” table for a given combination of a particular cloud capacity column and a particular pod in the “Cloud Capacity Snapshot” table. As such, by executing the queries encoded in the “Cloud Capacity URLs” table, each cloud capacity field of the “Cloud Capacity Snapshot” table is populated with the corresponding cloud capacity metric value.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing virtualized transaction retries in an on-demand network code execution system. A user may generate a task on the system by submitting code. The task may include a transaction that can succeed or fail depending on external factors, such as accessing a resource that other processes are also trying to access. The system may obtain success criteria for evaluating whether the transaction was successful, and may configure a virtual machine instance to execute the submitted code. The system may generate a “snapshot” or otherwise capture information regarding the state of the virtual machine instance prior to executing the code, and may then execute the code or a portion of it to attempt the transaction. The system may then apply the success criteria to determine whether the transaction was successful, and if not may retry the transaction by restoring the snapshot and re-executing the code.
