Patent number: 11068395Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting cached volumes at storage gateways are disclosed. A storage gateway appliance is configured to cache at least a portion of a storage object of a remote storage service at local storage devices. In response to a client's write request, directed to at least a portion of a data chunk of the storage object, the appliance stores a data modification indicated in the write request at a storage device, and asynchronously uploads the modification to the storage service. In response to a client's read request, directed to a different portion of the data chunk, the appliance downloads the requested data from the storage service to the storage device, and provides the requested data to the client.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Carl Salyers, Pradeep Vincent, Ankur Khetrapal, Kestutis Patiejunas

Patent number: 10862762Abstract: Techniques for implementing a single-addressable virtual topology element (VTE) in a virtual topology. A VTE in a virtual topology may be distributed as multiple instantiated elements in a physical topology. However, the multiple instantiated elements are addressable as a single entity. Obtaining information associated with the VTE includes obtaining and aggregating information from each of the instantiated elements. Applying an overall configuration to the VTE includes determining a respective configuration for each instantiated element based on the overall configuration, and applying the respective configuration to each instantiated element.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Daniel Cohn, Pradeep Vincent, Jagwinder Singh Brar

Publication number: 20200192695Abstract: High-speed processing of packets to, and from, a virtualization environment can be provided while utilizing hardware-based segmentation offload and other such functionality. A hardware vendor such as a network interface card (NIC) manufacturer can enable the hardware to support open and proprietary stateless tunneling in conjunction with a protocol such as single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) in order to implement a virtualized overlay network. The hardware can utilize various rules, for example, that can be used by the NIC to perform certain actions, such as to encapsulate egress packets and decapsulate packets.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 12, 2020Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventors: Pradeep Vincent, Matthew David Klein, Samuel James McKelvie

Patent number: 10462033Abstract: Techniques for implementing a virtual tap in a virtual topology are described. A request to tap a particular link between a set of virtual topology entities (VTEs) is received. The particular link between the set of VTEs is mapped to a link between a set of instantiated entities in a physical topology. One of the instantiated elements implements a tapping function. Additionally or alternatively, a tapping element is instantiated and the tapping element implements the tapping function. The tapping element is not one of the set of instantiated entities. The tapping function includes: applying a tap filter to a set of data; replicating the data that passes the tap filter; and transmitting the replicated data to a virtual endpoint. The replicated data may be referred to as “tapped data.” A user interface engine presents information regarding the particular link between the set of VTEs based on the tapped data.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2019Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Daniel Cohn, Pradeep Vincent

Patent number: 10452514Abstract: A set of techniques is described for monitoring and analyzing crashes and other malfunctions in a multi-tenant computing environment (e.g. cloud computing environment). The computing environment may host many applications that are executed on different computing resource combinations. The combinations may include varying types and versions of hardware or software resources. A monitoring service is deployed to gather statistical data about the failures occurring in the computing environment. The statistical data is then analyzed to identify abnormally high failure patterns. The failure patterns may be associated with particular computing resource combinations being used to execute particular types of applications. Based on these failure patterns, suggestions can be issued to a user to execute the application using a different computing resource combination.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Luis Felipe Cabrera, Eric Jason Brandwine, James R. Hamilton, Jonathan A. Jenkins, Matthew D. Klein, Nathan Thomas, Pradeep Vincent

Patent number: 10372685Abstract: A client request, formatted in accordance with a file system interface, is received at an access subsystem of a distributed multi-tenant storage service. After the request is authenticated at the access subsystem, an atomic metadata operation comprising a group of file system metadata modifications is initiated, including a first metadata modification at a first node of a metadata subsystem of the storage service and a second metadata modification at a second node of the metadata subsystem. A plurality of replicas of at least one data modification corresponding to the request are saved at respective storage nodes of the service.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Pradeep Vincent, Wayne William Duso, Matti Juhani Oikarinen, Matteo Frigo, James Christopher Sorenson, III

Patent number: 10282225Abstract: Virtual machines may migrate between heterogeneous sets of implementation resources in a manner that allows the virtual machines to efficiently and effectively adapt to new implementation resources. Furthermore, virtual machines may change types during migration without terminating the virtual machines. Migration templates may be established to manage migration of sets of virtual machines between sets of implementation resources and/or virtual machine types. Migration templates may be established based at least in part on information provided by migration agents added to the virtual machines under consideration for migration. The migration agents may detect and augment relevant virtual machine capabilities, as well as trigger reconfiguration of virtual machine components in accordance with migration templates.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Pradeep Vincent

Patent number: 10264071Abstract: A request for a session identifier for a particular client is transmitted from an access subsystem of a storage service to a metadata subsystem of the service. A session identifier based on a persistent session storage location at which metadata of the client session are stored is received at the access subsystem. The session identifier is cached at the access subsystem prior to its transmission to the client. A lock state indicator generated by the metadata subsystem in response to a particular request from the client during the client session may also be cached at the access subsystem. Subsequent storage requests from the client during the session may be handled by the access subsystem using the cached session identifier and lock state indicator.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Pradeep Vincent
