Patent number: 11943104Abstract: At a network-accessible service, a request is received from a client to enable access by a migration facilitator to a configuration record collection of the client. A response to a migration candidate identification query is generated using the configuration record collection and transmitted to the facilitator. An indication of a proposal associated with migrating at least a portion of the client's computing environment to a different computing environment with assistance from the facilitator is provided to the client.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hariharan Subramanian, David Samuel Zipkin

Patent number: 11018948Abstract: A network-based discovery system and service are disclosed that provide client discovery services to a number of clients over a network. The network-based discovery system includes a database that stores discovery information of client network-based resource configurations. The discovery information may be obtained from client resources by client-side discovery components that are placed on client resources, obtain the discovery information and that send the information to the discovery system. The discovery system analyzes the discovery information to determine the client network-based resource configurations and generates client network-based resource configuration representations for the respective clients. The client network-based resource configuration representation may include a description of, and dependencies among, a plurality of computer-based resources.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hariharan Subramanian, David Samuel Zipkin, Derek Avery Lyon, Cristian Gabriel Gafton

Patent number: 10127066Abstract: Methods and apparatus for updating virtual machines (VMs) on a provider network according to modifications made to a server in a client network. A version of the server may be currently instantiated and executing as one or more VM instances on the provider network. Agent(s) installed on the server in the client network intercept write requests to volume(s) attached to the server, and send blocks that include updates to the server volume(s) to a service on the provider network. The service stores the blocks to incremental snapshots, and generates timestamped machine images (MIs) of the server from the snapshots. A VM service updates the VM instances on the provider network according to the MIs. Thus, the VM instances can be kept up to date with changes to the server without having to upload the entire volume(s) to the provider network to perform each update.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ekanth Sethuramalingam, Suk Won Kim, John Merrill Phillips, David Samuel Zipkin

Patent number: 9553787Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which facilitate monitoring of usage information associated with services implemented within a hosted computing environment. Providers of a service, or other authorized parties, may be enabled to associate one or more descriptors with a service. Thereafter, each service instances may be monitored for such descriptors. By correlating usage information of instances with specific descriptors, usage information for the descriptor may be generated. In some instances, usage information corresponding to a descriptor may be utilized to monitor license agreements associated with services including the descriptor. Further, use of descriptors may reduce or eliminate the need to associate services with physical attributes of hosting computing devices, such as media access control addresses.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Charles Stickle, David Samuel Zipkin

Patent number: 6424979Abstract: A system providing views of a technical architecture of an enterprise that take into account the content type interest, level of detail and time frame of desired information. A user, with a browser interface, selects a portal specifying the type of content to be viewed. A profile of the user indicates the level of detail and time frame of information to be obtained. The interface provides the user's selection of desired information within the portal in the form of a page request that is converted into queries of a database that seek content satisfying the type, level of detail and time frame attributes of the request. The content is formed into a web page and provided to the interface by the web server. Content is separated into atomic units allowing the information to be rearranged responsive to each user's needs.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 1998Date of Patent: July 23, 2002Assignee: American Management Systems, Inc.Inventors: Eric Bruce Livingston, Lisa Conners Vogt, Stephen David Gantz, David Samuel Zipkin, Matthew Todd Richards, Sheila Caroline Rocchio
