Patent number: 11860900Abstract: For a given cross-data-store transaction request at a storage service, a coordinator transmits respective voting transition requests to a plurality of log-based transaction managers (LTMs) configured for the respective data stores to which writes are directed in the transaction. The LTMs transmit responses to the coordinator based on data-store-specific conflict detection performed using contents of the voting transition requests and respective data-store-specific state transition logs. The coordinator determines a termination status of the cross-data-store transaction based on the LTMs' responses, and provides an indication of the termination status to the LTMs.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Upendra Bhalchandra Shevade, Gregory Rustin Rogers, Christopher Ian Hendrie

Patent number: 11770364Abstract: Methods and apparatus for private network peering in virtual network environments in which peerings between virtual client private networks on a provider network may be established by clients via an API to a peering service. The peering service and API 104 may allow clients to dynamically establish and manage virtual network transit centers on the provider network at which virtual ports may be established and configured, virtual peerings between private networks may be requested and, if accepted, established, and routing information for the peerings may be specified and exchanged. Once a virtual peering between client private networks is established, packets may be exchanged between the respective client private networks via the peering over the network substrate according to the overlay network technology used by the provider network, for example an encapsulation protocol technology.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bashuman Deb, Andrew Bruce Dickinson, Christopher Ian Hendrie

Patent number: 10735499Abstract: A control-plane component of a virtual network interface (VNI) multiplexing service assigns one or more VNIs as members of a first interface group. A first VNI of the interface group is attached to a first compute instance. Network traffic directed to a particular endpoint address associated with the first interface group is to be distributed among members of the first interface group by client-side components of the service. The control-plane component propagates membership metadata of the first interface group to the client-side components. In response to a detection of an unhealthy state of the first compute instance, the first VNI is attached to a different compute instance by the control-plane component.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tobias Lars-Olov Holgers, Kevin Christopher Miller, Andrew Bruce Dickinson, David Carl Salyers, Xiao Zhang, Shane Ashley Hall, Christopher Ian Hendrie, Aniket Deepak Divecha, Ralph William Flora

Patent number: 10320644Abstract: A traffic analyzer of a provider network identifies endpoint categories into which traffic directed to or from a first isolated virtual network of the provider network is to be classified. A first endpoint category includes an endpoint configured in a second isolated virtual network. Using packet-level metrics collected at virtualization management components of virtualization hosts, the traffic analyzer determines the amount of data transmitted between the first isolated virtual network and the various endpoint categories during selected time intervals. The traffic analyzer provides the categorized traffic amounts as input to a predictive model, and stores expected future traffic trends generated by the model.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Po-Chun Chen, Kyle Tailor Akers, Kevin Christopher Miller, Michael Brooke Furr, Christopher Ian Hendrie

Patent number: 9672503Abstract: Methods and apparatus for bandwidth metering in large-scale networks are disclosed. Metadata for a network transmission involving a virtualized resource at a host of a provider network, including endpoint address information and a traffic metric, is determined at a metering component. The metadata is aggregated at another metering component and provided to a traffic classification node. The traffic classification node generates a categorized usage record for the network transmission, based at least in part on network topology information associated with the provider network. The categorized usage record is used to determine a billing amount for the network transmission.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Brooke Furr, Christopher Ian Hendrie, Kevin Christopher Miller, Ryan David Murphy, Sandeep Shantharaj
