  • Patent number: 11809735
    Abstract: Systems and methods for efficient and secure management of encrypted “snapshots” for a remote provider substrate extension (“PSE”) of a cloud provider network substrate are provided. The PSE may request and obtain a snapshot from the cloud provider network substrate, restore a volume from the snapshot, make changes to data in the restored volume, and/or initiate the creation and storage of a new snapshot that includes incremental updates to the original snapshot to reflect the changes made to data in the volume. An encrypted snapshot stored within the cloud provider network substrate may be decrypted using a cloud provider key designed for internal use only, and then re-encrypted using a PSE-specific key before providing the snapshot to the PSE, thereby avoiding the sharing of the cloud provider internal use only key outside the cloud provider network substrate.

  • Patent number: 11502824
    Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to techniques for creating encrypted block store volumes of data from unencrypted object storage snapshots of the volumes. These encryption techniques use a special pool of servers for performing the encryption. These encryption servers are not accessible to users, and they perform encryption and pass encrypted volumes to other block store servers for user access. The encryption context for the volumes can be persisted on the encryption severs for as long as needed for encryption and not shared with the user-facing servers in order to prevent user access to encryption context.

  • Patent number: 11200213
    Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to techniques for dynamically aggregating data records from separate sources. The data merging process can be implemented by an aggregation computing resource that uses a lockstep paging system to query multiple database platforms for the same range of records, merges the records returned by the database platforms, and continues identifying a next range of records for which the database platforms should be queried until all records have been merged into a single listing. These techniques can be used to unify records during a database migration process.
