Publication number: 20180039506Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Timothy Allen Wagner, Sean Philip Reque, Derek Steven Manwaring, Xin Zhao, Dylan Chandler Thomas

Publication number: 20180004572Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2016Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventors: Timothy Allen Wagner, Marc John Brooker, Ajay Nair, Derek Steven Manwaring

Publication number: 20180004553Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2016Publication date: January 4, 2018Inventors: Timothy Allen Wagner, Marc John Brooker, Ajay Nair, Derek Steven Manwaring

Patent number: 9740598Abstract: Technologies are disclosed herein for providing live testing of applications based upon a debug keystore. An application developer develops an application and registers with an application store. A public portion of a debug keystore may be used to generate a digital signature to sign the application in order to allow for live testing of the application at the application store with respect to various components of the application. In this way, live testing can occur without the need for publication and approval of the application by the application store. Additionally, use of the debug keystore may allow for live testing of the application to occur without the application developer incurring in-application purchase fees.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Derek Steven Gebhard

Patent number: 9678726Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for automatic generation of plugins for development tools. A platform-independent model is obtained for software functionality such as an application programming interface (API) to a software development kit (SDK). A platform-specific plugin is generated for a development environment based at least in part on the platform-independent model. The platform-specific plugin provides the software functionality for a particular platform of multiple platforms.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Daniel Massaguer, Thomas Calogero Cascio, Jonathan Paul Thompson, Dong-Ju Nam, Archana Bhanuprasad Naik, Derek Steven Gebhard, Spencer Lyle Voorheis, Peter Phan Han

Patent number: 9195457Abstract: Documentation for an application programming interface may include a source code portion. Input may be received from a user of the documentation indicating a request to see a simulated result of executing the source code portion. A set of instructions corresponding to the source code portion may be loaded. State dependencies of the set of instructions may be resolved to form an execution environment for the instructions. Simulated results for executing the source code portion may be obtained by executing the instructions based on the execution environment.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Derek Steven Gebhard

Patent number: 9091224Abstract: The present invention utilizes a speed density method for determining the cylinder air mass using volumetric efficiency (VE) based on engine speed and manifold pressure. The VE data contain the cylinder filling efficiency for various engine speed and manifold pressure values. The manifold pressure is then measured by a manifold absolution pressure (MAP) sensor. Using the speed density has the advantage that it is much less affected by pulsation in the intake system of the vehicle, and does not require a linear air flow past a sensor in the engine intake system.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2012Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: HONDATA, INC.Inventor: Derek Stevens
