  • Patent number: 10635635
    Abstract: Techniques described and suggested include systems, methods, and processes for determining data-related attributes, such as size, for data and/or data containers (such as volumes and file systems) resident on distributed storage systems. For example, a shared records storage device may be utilized to gather information related to file systems stored on a distributed storage system having a plurality of storage servers. A data processor may be used to generate information records and meter data storage size for file systems resident on the distributed storage system, and such records may be provided to requestors, such as customers associated with the file systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 28, 2020
    Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.

  • Patent number: 9710407
    Abstract: An I/O request directed to a portion of a storage object managed at a distributed storage service is received. A congestion control parameter value to be used to schedule a storage operation corresponding to the I/O request is determined. The congestion control parameter is based at least in part on an offset within the storage object to which the I/O request is directed. The storage operation is scheduled in accordance with the congestion control parameter at a selected physical storage device to which the portion of the storage object is mapped.
