Patent number: 11489814Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for customized domain name resolution for virtual private clouds are disclosed. A domain name system (DNS) resolution service receives a DNS request from a computing resource associated with a virtual private cloud (VPC) in a cloud provider network. The service determines that the VPC is associated with one or more firewall rules. Responsive to determining that the VPC is associated with the firewall rule(s), the service determines whether the DNS request is allowed or blocked according to the one or more firewall rules. If the DNS request is allowed, the service resolves the DNS request using a DNS server and returns a response to the computing resource. If the DNS request is blocked, the service does not resolve the DNS request.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Engskow, Kiran Thunga, Vikram Saurabh, Yu Wang, Huida Tao, Rishi Goel, Kevis Tsao, Abhay Raina, Alexander Thomas Herrick, Jeffrey J Damick, Hemakshi Sharma

Patent number: 11362986Abstract: Systems and methods are for domain name system (DNS) resolutions in heterogeneous network environments including a virtual private cloud (VPC). An administrator of a virtual private cloud (VPC) specifies rules identifying sources for resolving DNS resolution requests. The rules may include routing a request to a source outside the VPC such as to an on-premises DNS resolver through an outbound IP endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kiran Thunga, Jeffrey J. Damick, Yohanes Santoso, Bing Xia, Glen Li, Parham Ghazanfari, Daniel Bradley, Brandon Mark Wagner, Yu Wang, Huida Tao, Mekias Mebrahtu Yohannes, Jordan Harris Singer, Kevin Tyler, Gavin Derek McCullagh

Patent number: 9344462Abstract: Techniques are provided for leveraging narrowband connectivity (such as dial-up communications or other types of low bandwidth communications) to provision or configure broadband connectivity between a broadband access provider and a broadband device, such as a DSL modem or a cable modem. Specifically, because narrowband connectivity does not require advance configuration or provisioning by the host system of connectivity parameters for an access-seeking device, a modem at an access-seeking device may be leveraged to establish a narrowband connection between that device and a host system and to enable an exchange or negotiation of connectivity parameters necessary to enable future broadband connectivity. Thus, once established, the narrowband connection may be used as a conduit for communicating required provisioning information between the broadband-enabling host and the access-seeking device to enable broadband connectivity by the device in the future.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: FACEBOOK, INC.Inventors: Patrick Meenan, David Clyde Chiles, Jeffrey J.
