Abstract: A database service may maintain tables on behalf of clients and may provision throughput capacity for those tables. A table may be divided into multiple partitions, according to hash of the primary key values for each of the items in the table, and the items in the table may be accessed using the hash of their primary key values. Provisioned throughput capacity for the table may be divided between the partitions and used in servicing requests directed to items in the table. The service (or underlying system) may provide mechanisms for generating skew-related metrics or reports and presenting them to clients via a graphical user interface (GUI). The metrics and reports may indicate the amount of uniformity or skew in the distribution of requests across the key space for the table using histograms, heat maps, or other representations. Clients may initiate actions to correct any skewing via the GUI.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention generally relate to approaches for forming a semiconductor device such as a TSV device having a “buffer zone” or gap layer between the TSV and transistor(s).

Abstract: A pluggable cloud enablement boot device (PCEBD) is a bootable device that includes all information needed to automatically provision hardware and software to create a computing solution that meets customer requirements. This allows for quickly deploying a computing solution in a manner that eliminates many manual steps that are typically performed today. The PCEBD uses firmware to verify a given platform has sufficient resources to deploy the PCEBD. The computing solution, once provisioned and running, can be modified, and these modifications may be reflected in the definition of the PCEBD. In addition, a computing solution may include multiple resources provisioned from multiple PCEBDs, which can be packaged into a PCEBD that will include other PCEBDs. The result is a way to deploy computing solutions that is much more efficient than the manual methods used in the prior art.
