  • Patent number: 11550635
    Abstract: Techniques are described for filtering and normalizing training data used to build a predictive auto scaling model used by a service provider network to proactively scale users' computing resources. Further described are techniques for identifying collections of computing resources that exhibit suitably predictable usage patterns such that a predictive auto scaling model can be used to forecast future usage patterns with reasonable accuracy and to scale the resources based on such generated forecasts. The filtering of training data and the identification of suitably predictable collections of computing resources are based in part on autocorrelation analyses, and in particular on “delayed” autocorrelation analyses, of time series data, among other techniques described herein.

  • Patent number: 10979436
    Abstract: A policy associated with a notification received by one or more computer systems is obtained. A first request is submitted, to a service, for a first current capacity of a resource. An amount by which to adjust a capacity of the resource is calculated, based at least in part on the policy and the first current capacity. A second request is submitted, to the service, to adjust the capacity of the resource by the amount. A third request is submitted, to the service, for a second current capacity of the resource, and whether the second request has been fulfilled is determined based at least in part on a comparison between the second current capacity and the response to the third request.

  • Patent number: 10412022
    Abstract: A scaling notification is received that includes a current capacity for a scalable target of a resource. A policy associated with the scaling notification is obtained. A new capacity is computed for the scalable target, based at least in part on the policy and the current capacity of the scalable target. A scaling request is made to an application programming interface endpoint for the scalable target, with the request including a new capacity for the scalable target, thereby causing the current capacity of the scalable target to change to the new capacity.

  • Patent number: 10397240
    Abstract: A scaling policy associated with a notification received by one or more computer systems is obtained. A first request is submitted, to a software container service, for a first current capacity of a resource. An amount by which to adjust a capacity of the resource is calculated, based at least in part on the scaling policy and the first current capacity. A second request is submitted, to the software container service, to adjust the capacity of the resource by the amount. A third request is submitted, to the software container service, for a second current capacity of the resource, and whether the second request has been fulfilled is determined based at least in part on a comparison between the second current capacity and the amount.

  • Patent number: 10069869
    Abstract: In response to receipt of a notification from a third service, a scaling policy specified by a customer of a computing resource service provider to be associated with the notification is obtained, with the scaling policy including a set of parameters that includes an identity of a resource of a second service of the computing resource service provider. As a result of processing the scaling policy in accordance with the set of parameters, a request is submitted to a second service to scale the resource, and output is provided that indicates whether the scaling request has been fulfilled.
