Patent number: 11860879Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. A function can implement a data manipulation, such as filtering out sensitive data before reading or writing the data. The functions can be applied prior to implementing a request method (e.g., GET or PUT) specified within the I/O request, such that the data to which the method is applied may not match the object specified within the request. For example, a user may request to obtain (e.g., GET) a data set. The data set may be passed to a function that filters sensitive data to the data set, and the GET request method may then be applied to the output of the function. In this manner, owners of objects on an object storage service are provided with greater control of objects stored or retrieved from the service.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Lawrence Harris, Kevin C. Miller, Ramyanshu Datta

Patent number: 11656892Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing any combination of and any number of owner-specified functions and native functions. A function can implement a data manipulation. The functions can be applied prior to implementing a request method (e.g., GET, PUT, LIST, etc.) specified within the I/O request, such that the data to which the method is applied may not match the object specified within the request. For example, a user may request to obtain a data set. The data set may be passed to a native function that filters sensitive data to the data set, the output of the native function may be passed to an owner-specified function that redacts data from the filtered data set, and the request method may then be applied to the output of the owner-specified function.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Lawrence Harris, Ramyanshu Datta, Kevin C.

Patent number: 11550944Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. Such functions can include data access control functions, data manipulation functions, and the like. The owner of an object collection maintained by the object storage service can specify code execution environment rules that can give privileges to the execution of such functions such as by allowing the functions to access external services or the requesting user's private resources. In this manner, owners of the object collection are provided with greater control over how the object collection is accessed.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kevin C.

Patent number: 11416628Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modifying input and output (I/O) to an object storage service by implementing one or more owner-specified functions to I/O requests. Different data manipulation functions can be placed in different I/O paths depending on the request method or user access level. For example, a user having full access may be returned the unaltered version of the object, whereas a user having modified or reduced access may be returned a modified or redacted version of the object. In this manner, owners of the object collection are provided with greater control over how the object collection is accessed.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Kevin C.

Patent number: 11394761Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing input data to and reading output data from one or more owner-specified functions. A function can implement a data manipulation, such as filtering out sensitive data before reading or writing the data. Input data can be provided to the function as an entire object, a stream of objects, or on-demand based on data or portions thereof that the function attempts to access. The function can provide output data as a single instance of output data or a stream of output data regardless of the manner in which input data is provided to the function. The input data can be stored in a staging area that is accessible to the function via a local file system. Similarly, the function can store the output data in a staging area that is accessible to the function via a local file system.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Lawrence Harris, Kevin C.

Patent number: 11262944Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for utilizing rules for placement of objects in storage in a manner that improves retrieval times relative to a default ordering utilized by an object storage system. For example, a request to store an object in a persistent storage of a data storage system may be received, metadata associated with the request may then be parsed to identify a signal for placement of the object within the persistent storage, and a rule may be identified for placement of objects associated with that signal, such as by indicating a desired grouping or ordering of objects associated with the signal. A particular storage location for the object may then be determined within the persistent storage based at least in part on the signal, the rule, and previously determined storage locations of one or more other data objects associated with the signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Kevin C.
