Abstract: Methods and apparatus for centralized networking configuration in distributed systems are disclosed. Networking related metrics from a plurality of sources within a distributed system are obtained at a networking configuration server. A set of rules to be used to apply a network configuration option to a particular category of traffic associated with a node of the distributed system is determined based on the collected metrics and on networking management policies. A representation of the set of rules is transmitted to the node of the distributed system to schedule network transmissions in accordance with the networking configuration option.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for centralized resource utilization visualization in distributed systems are disclosed. Metrics are collected from a plurality of sources in a distributed system, including network traffic metrics collected from nodes implementing a network-accessible service. A topology representing at least one of (a) a relationship between respective client accounts to which a first and second node are assigned, or (b) one or more network links between the first and second nodes is generated. Respective networking performance indicators of the first node and the second node are provided for inclusion in a resource heat map corresponding to the topology.

Abstract: A centralized networking configuration in a distributed system includes a plurality of computing devices implementing a networking configuration server and a plurality of nodes of a service provider network. The computing devices are configured to obtain, at the networking configuration server, client input throttling instructions and client billing information, determine, at the networking configuration server, based on the client input throttling instruction and client billing information, to apply a networking configuration option provided by the client input throttling instructions to a particular category of traffic associated with a service instance of a network-accessible service of the service provider network, transmit, from the networking configuration server to a particular node of the provider network, the networking configuration option, and implement, at the particular node, the networking configuration option.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for encoding traffic classification information for a networking configuration system are disclosed. At a networking configuration server, a hierarchy of network traffic categories and corresponding networking configuration options are generated. In addition, steps of a procedure usable to classify network traffic units into the categories are determined. Data structures to represent the hierarchy and the procedure are constructed at the networking configuration server and provided to a computing device of a distributed system to be used to schedule network transmissions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting customer-directed networking limits in distributed systems are disclosed. A client request is received via a programmatic interface, indicating a particular lower resource usage limit to be imposed on at least one category of network traffic at a particular instance of a network-accessible service. Resource usage metrics for one or more categories of network traffic at the particular instance are obtained. In response to a determination that resource usage at the particular instance has reached a threshold level, one or more responsive actions are initiated.
