  • Patent number: 11126469
    Abstract: A system for providing automatic resource resizing is provided. The system may be configured to maintain a plurality of virtual machine instances. The system may be further configured to receive a request to execute a program code and allocate computing resources for executing the program code on one of the virtual machine instances. The amount of resources allocated for executing the program code may be specified by the request and adjusted as needed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10915371
    Abstract: A system for providing automatic management of low latency computational capacity is provided. The system may be configured to maintain a plurality of virtual machine instances. The system may be further configured to identify a trend in incoming code execution requests to execute program code on a virtual compute system, determine, based on the identified trend, that the plurality of virtual machine instances should be adjusted, and adjust the plurality of virtual machine instances based on the identified trend.

  • Patent number: 10884802
    Abstract: A system for routing requests to execute user code based on how frequently the user code is executed is provided. The system may be configured to receive a request to execute user code on a virtual compute system, where the virtual compute system comprises multiple fleets of virtual machine instances. The system may be further configured to determine whether the user code associated with the request satisfies one or more usage criteria, and based on the determination, route the request to the appropriate fleet of virtual machine instances.

  • Patent number: 10592269
    Abstract: A system for providing dynamic code deployment and versioning is provided. The system may be configured to receive a first request to execute a newer program code on a virtual compute system, determine, based on the first request, that the newer program code is a newer version of an older program code loaded onto an existing container on a virtual machine instance on the virtual compute system, initiate a download of the newer program code onto a second container on the same virtual machine instance, and causing the first request to be processed with the older program code in the existing container.

  • Patent number: 10277708
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing cross-account access to tasks on an on-demand code execution environment or other distributed code execution environment. Such environments utilize pre-initialized virtual machine instances to enable execution of user-specified code in a rapid manner, without delays typically caused by initialization of the virtual machine instances. However, to ensure security, the code of different users is generally maintained separately, and executed on separate virtual machines. Embodiments described herein enable users of a first account to execute code of a second account, without gaining access to the code itself and while maintaining the privacy and security of each account. Specifically, aliases for a task of a first account can be created on a task of a second account, and used to invoke that task on behalf of the first account. Aliases may also allow users to customize how the task is executed.

  • Patent number: 10203990
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for utilizing cross-account access to tasks on an on-demand code execution environment or other distributed code execution environment to implement an application programming interface (API) on a network-accessible service. An on-demand code execution environment can utilize pre-initialized virtual machine instances to enable execution of user-specified code in a rapid manner, without delays typically caused by initialization of the virtual machine instances. While users may generally execute their own code, the present application enables code of a first user to be executed by a second user, while maintaining the privacy and security of the code and associated accounts. Further, the present application enables a set of tasks to be grouped together as an API, enabling any user to create an API for a service, while the on-demand code execution environment manages execution of the tasks and allocation of underlying computing resources.
