Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to techniques for modifying volume encryption status, either by creating an encrypted copy of an unencrypted source volume or by re-encrypting the replica with a different key than the source volume. This can be accomplished using an intermediary transform fleet that stores the encryption key(s) and performs encryption (and decryption, in cases where the source is encrypted). Further, these techniques can implement a state refresh for any client attached to the volume in order to equip the client to handle the different encryption state of the encrypted volume.

Abstract: First information about regions of storage space in a storage environment available for a volume is provided to a service provider, with the storage environment being external to the service provider. The service provider is notified that information usable to locate a storage destination of a portion of the volume is unavailable. Second information that includes the storage destination in the storage environment is obtained from the service provider. A data operation is performed at the storage destination, with the storage destination determined based at least in part from the second information.

Abstract: Systems and methods include providing an aircraft with a fuselage and a wing assembly rotatable relative to the fuselage about a stow axis between a flight position and a stowed position. The aircraft includes a gearbox having a retractable driveshaft that selectively engages the mid-wing gearbox via axially translatable motion along a rotation axis when the wing assembly is in the flight position. The retractable driveshaft also selectively disengages the mid-wing gearbox in the flight position to allow selectively rotation of the wing assembly about the stow axis from the flight position to the stowed position resulting in the mid-wing gearbox being misaligned with the retractable driveshaft when the wing assembly is in the stowed position.

Abstract: A multimode clutch assembly is positioned in a powertrain of a rotorcraft. The multimode clutch assembly includes a freewheeling unit having input and output races. The freewheeling unit has a driving mode in which torque applied to the input race is transferred to the output race and an overrunning mode in which torque applied to the output race is not transferred to the input race. A bypass assembly has an engaged position that couples the input and output races of the freewheeling unit. A hydraulic actuator shifts the bypass assembly between the engaged position and a disengaged position. In the disengaged position, the overrunning mode of the freewheeling unit is enabled such that the multimode clutch assembly is configured for unidirectional torque transfer. In the engaged position, the overrunning mode of the freewheeling unit is disabled such that the multimode clutch assembly is configured for bidirectional torque transfer.

Abstract: A distributed system may implement opportunistic resource migration to optimize resource placement. Resources may be placed amongst different resource hosts of a distributed system. An evaluation of the current placement may be performed according placement criteria that improve placement of the resources at the distributed system. Based on the evaluation, the prospective migration of resources that exceed an improvement threshold may be identified as candidate resources to migrate. Migration for the candidate resources may be opportunistically performed. In some embodiments, a priority may be assigned to the candidate resources according to which the candidate resources are selected for performing migration.

Abstract: Briefly, implementations of claimed subject matter relate to methods and devices for coupling a first rotating shaft to a second shaft. In a particular implementation, an end of a plurality of resilient fingers of a resilient structure may be radially displaced to permit positioning of the resilient structure over a first shaft. An inwardly-directed portion of each of the plurality of the resilient fingers of the resilient structure may be secured to a channel located on an inner surface of a second shaft. After securing the resilient structure to the second shaft, the one or more resilient fingers of the resilient structure may be positioned within a slotted ladder ring encircling the first shaft.

Abstract: Data, attributes, and metrics from unavailable resource hosts may be collected and used for cluster analysis in order to correlate the different hosts and group similar hosts into clusters. The clusters may be ranked based on the collected information and used to provide a simple way to identify shared failure modes among the unavailable hosts. By identifying the hosts of each cluster, shared failures can be corrected for large groups of hosts at the same time, enabling the hosts to return to operational states.

Abstract: Techniques are described for formally expressing whether sequences of operations performed on block storage devices are sequential or random. In embodiments, determinations of whether these sequences of operations are sequential or random may be used to predict latencies involved with running particular workloads, and to predict representative workloads for particular latencies.

Abstract: A user can set or modify operational parameters of a data volume stored on a network-accessible storage device in a data center. For example, the user may be provided access to a data volume and may request a modification to the operational parameters of the data volume. Instead of modifying the existing data volume, the data center can provision a new data volume and migrate data stored on the existing data volume to the new data volume. While the data migration takes place, the existing data volume may block input/output (I/O) requests and the new data volume may handle such requests instead. Once the data migration is complete, the data center may deallocate the data blocks of the existing data volume such that the data blocks can be reused by other data volumes.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a storage processing service that processes multiple storage commands. The storage processing service uses tags from test storage commands to determine whether a test storage service is to be instantiated that reflects a corresponding production service. Test storage commands with the same tag are tested on that test service. Additionally, the storage processing service determines a strategy for testing processes on production services when the storage system is overloaded. In one embodiment, the test service manager can determine to stop testing processes for a period of time, and issue a shed command that queues or sheds test storage commands. Advantageously, a shed command, while active at a storage processing service, may alleviate the overload on production services. The test service manager can continue to monitor the storage system to determine whether the overload continues to exist.

Transforming instructions and at least one address of one or more storage locations can be received from the processor, based at least in part on the header information. The payload information can be transformed based on the transforming instructions. The transformed payload information can be stored in the one or more storage locations based on the at least one address.

Abstract: A system and method for provisioning a volume and repartitioning a provisioned volume based at least in part on a workload. A request to provision a volume of a specified size is received, a first set of partition options is determined based at least in part on the specified size, and second set of partition options is determined based at least in part on one or more performance characteristics. A volume partitioning is determined based at least in part on an intersection of a number of partitions between the first set of partition options and the second set of partition options, and further based at least in part on a set of optimization criteria. Based at least in part on tracked usage of the volume or a repartition request, a determination is made to repartition the volume such that the partitioning scheme fulfills a set of optimization criteria.
