  • Patent number: 11855849
    Abstract: At a rule processing unit of an evolving, self-organized machine learning-based resource management service, a rule of a first rule set is applied to a value of a first collected metric, resulting in the initiation of a first corrective action. A set of metadata indicating the metric value and the corrective action is transmitted to a repository, and is used as part of an input data set for a machine learning model trained to generate rule modification recommendations. In response to determining that the corrective actions did not meet a success criterion, an escalation message is transmitted to another rule processing unit.

  • Patent number: 10909557
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting and classifying events that create a sudden or substantial increase in network traffic activity. To begin, an increase of network activity can be detected. Upon detecting the increase in network activity, it can be determined that the increase in network activity is unexpected in view of one or more predicted activity events. The system can be adjusted to reduce the network activity in response to determining that the increase in network activity is unexpected.

  • Patent number: 10887291
    Abstract: A computing resource service provider may operate a secure proxy fleet within a content delivery network. The secure proxy fleet may protect sensitive data communicated between a client device and a backend service over one or more networks, for example, over the content delivery network to a computing resource service provider environment. The secure proxy fleet may protect sensitive data by encrypting the sensitive data before it is forwarded to a destination.

  • Patent number: 10706037
    Abstract: Non-blocking processing of federated transactions may be implemented for distributed data partitions. A transaction may be received that specifies keys at data nodes to lock in order to perform the transaction. Lock requests are generated and sent to the data nodes which identify sibling keys to be locked at other data nodes for the transaction. In response to receiving the lock requests, data nodes may send to lock queues indicating other lock requests for the keys at the data node. An evaluation of the lock queues based, at least in part, on an ordering of the lock requests in the lock queues may be performed to identify a particular transaction to commit. Once identified, a request to commit the identified transaction may be sent to the particular data nodes indicated by the sibling keys in a lock request for the identified transaction.

  • Patent number: 10574443
    Abstract: A computing device can obtain a session key for encrypting data that is communicated between a client device and the computing device. The computing device can receive, from the client device, an encrypted request for data. The encrypted request can be encrypted by the client device using the session key. The data requested can be stored on a second computing device. The computing device can send, to the second computing device, a copy of the session key and the encrypted request for data. The second computing device can decrypt the data using the session key and can also encrypt data responsive to the request using the session key.

  • Patent number: 10491329
    Abstract: A system for transmitting data over a network may include data processed according to a data-redundancy encoding technique such as erasure coding to be transmitted via an unreliable, connectionless transmission protocol, for example user datagram protocol (“UDP”). A transmitting manager may receive a request from an application to transmit data. The transmission manager may select encoding parameters and encode data to be transferred using a data-redundancy encoding technique. The transmission manager may initiate transmission of the encoded data and payload header data may via a network, for example via a network communication stream or protocol stack. A reconstruction manager associated with the receiving node may reconstruct the original data using the received erasure coding data and payload header data. In some embodiments, the receiving node may transmit telemetry data to the erasure coding algorithm.

  • Patent number: 10320632
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for implementing pattern-based detection are disclosed. A plurality of services monitor a plurality of service interactions comprising data or metadata. The services compare the data or metadata to a set of patterns and identify one or more matched patterns among the set of patterns. The services send data indicative of the matched patterns to a central recording service. The central recording service aggregates the data indicative of the matched patterns and generates one or more data flow visualizations indicating one or more data flows between individual ones of the services for the matched patterns.

  • Patent number: 10192186
    Abstract: Described is a dynamic web platform configured to provide content rendered with one or more rendering systems. The rendering systems and the modules making up the rendering modules may interact with one another by way of declarative data. Administrators may configure the platform using the declarative data. The declarative data may express operational parameters, business rules, and so forth and may be modified while the platform is operating. The modules in the rendering system may be loosely bound, allowing for concurrent operations, dynamic changes to what content is to be rendered, and so forth.

  • Patent number: 9727882
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting and classifying events that create a sudden and substantial increase in network traffic activity. To begin, a sales event may be predicted based on the results following the search for one or more prediction factors that occur during a predefined period of time. Based either on the individual results of each evaluation or a combination of results of the search of two or more of the prediction factors, a sales event may be predicted. Additionally, upon detection of a sudden and substantial increase in network traffic activity, one or more classification factors may be evaluated to determine whether the cause of the increase is due to a sales event or other type of alternative activity event.
