Patent number: 10511656Abstract: A system for collecting and disseminating log information may comprise a log agent and a log service. A log agent may transmit a log stream to a log service using non-overlapping adjacent subsets of log entries. Each subset may be associated with a unique and monotonically increasing sequence number, which is not incremented until the subset is received and processed by a log service.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Vassallo, Emmanuel Pierre Devillard, Hongqi Wang, Muhammad Umer Azad

Patent number: 10133741Abstract: A log data service in a virtual environment that allows customers of a compute service provider to access system, application and custom log files associated with virtual machine instances that are executing. In some embodiments, log data can be received that includes events or messages from virtual machines in a multi-tenant environment. The log data can be transformed into metric data, which can be used by the customer to generate statistics, view graphs, and generally monitor the customer's virtual machine instances. The log data can also be stored as a service so that the customer has a central repository for which to access the log data.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2014Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Henry David Hahn, Daniel Vassallo, Xiaosong Pan, Emmanuel Pierre Devillard, Hongqi Wang, Muhammad Umer Azad

Patent number: 10116735Abstract: Embodiments provide migration of services across different clusters to balance utilization and meet customer demands. Different service migration options may be performed with or without downtime. The artifacts of the service are moved to a new destination cluster. The service is created on the new destination cluster and staged so that the service is almost ready to start. In one embodiment, the service is stopped on the old cluster and started on the new cluster. After stopping the service, DNS is updated to point to the service on the new cluster. In another embodiment, the service is stopped on the old cluster and started on the new cluster with the same IP address to avoid DNS reprogramming and associated delays. In a further embodiment, the migration is performed without downtime by moving the service part by part from one cluster to another.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Sushant Pramod Rewaskar, Muhammad Umer Azad, Saad Syed, Christopher Paul Almida, Ajay Mani

Patent number: 9928101Abstract: In an environment that includes a host computing system that executes virtual machines, and a secure cloud computing channel that communicatively couples the host to a client computing system that is assigned to a particular one of the virtual machines, the particular virtual machine generates a certificate, install the certificate on the itself, and returns a certificate representation to the client. This may occur when the virtual machine is provisioned. During a subsequent connection request from the client to the virtual machine, the virtual machine returns the certificate to the client. The client compares the certificate representation that was returned during provisioning with the certificate returned during the subsequent connection, and if there is a match, then the virtual machine is authenticated to the client. Thus, in this case, the virtual machine authenticates without the client having to generate, install, and manage security for a certificate.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eron D. Wright, Muhammad Umer Azad, Sushant P. Rewaskar, Corey M. Sanders, Saad Syed

Patent number: 9436492Abstract: The provisioning of a virtual machine when booted from virtual storage. During virtual machine boot from an image, the virtual machine detects storage media. The virtual machine acquires a provisioning agent and provisioning data from the detected storage media. The virtual machine uses the provisioning data to provision itself, and executes the provisioning agent. The provisioning agent may monitor the progress of the provisioning and/or report a status of the provisioning. The virtual machine may operate in a cloud computing environment, the status of the provisioning agent being returned to the user through the cloud environment. The user need not generate the provisioning data in a format readable by the virtual machine. Instead, perhaps some naturally entered user input is used to automatically generate the properly formatted provisioning data using perhaps a service in the cloud.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eron D. Wright, Muhammad Umer Azad, Sushant P. Rewaskar, Corey M. Sanders, Saad Syed
