Patent number: 11777867Abstract: Commitments against various resources can be dynamically adjusted for customers in a shared-resource environment. A customer can provision a data volume with a committed rate of Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and pay only for that commitment (plus any overage), for example, as well as the amount of storage requested. The customer can subsequently adjust the committed rate of IOPS by submitting an appropriate request, or the rate can be adjusted automatically based on any of a number of criteria. Data volumes for the customer can be migrated, split, or combined in order to provide the adjusted rate. The interaction of the customer with the data volume does not need to change, independent of adjustments in rate or changes in the data volume, other than the rate at which requests are processed.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tate Andrew Certain, Roland Paterson-Jones, James R. Hamilton, Sachin Jain, Matthew S. Garman, David N. Sunderland, Danny Wei, Fiorenzo Cattaneo

Publication number: 20200034204Abstract: Customers of a shared-resource environment can provision resources in a fine-grained manner that meets specific performance requirements. A customer can provision a data volume with a committed rate of Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and pay only for that commitment (plus any overage), and the amount of storage requested. The customer will then at any time be able to complete at least the committed rate of IOPS. If the customer generates submissions at a rate that exceeds the committed rate, the resource can still process at the higher rate when the system is not under pressure. Even under pressure, the system will deliver at least the committed rate. Multiple customers can be provisioned on the same resource, and more than one customer can have a committed rate on that resource. Customers without committed or guaranteed rates can utilize the uncommitted portion, or committed portions that are not being used.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tate Andrew Certain, Roland Paterson-Jones, James R.

Patent number: 8438247Abstract: Techniques, including systems and methods, for capturing data sets include performing a client-side two-phase commit to ensure one or more data consistency conditions. A logical volume may represent a data set that is distributed among a plurality of physical storage devices. One or more client devices are instructed to block at least acknowledgment of write operations. When the one or more client devices have blocked at least acknowledgment of write operations, one or more servers in communication with the physical storage devices are instructed to capture corresponding portions of the data set. When the servers have been instructed to capture corresponding portions of the data set, the client devices are instructed to resume at least acknowledgment of write operations.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2010Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tate Andrew Certain, Sachin Jain, James R.
