Abstract: Techniques for providing high-performance buffer caches for transactional input/output (I/O) systems are disclosed. The techniques include obtaining a first logical creation time of a resource to be acquired by the first transaction during a pre-commit phase of a first transaction with an I/O system. When the first logical creation time exceeds a latest logical creation time from a set of resources previously acquired by the first transaction, the first logical creation time of the resource is compared with an earliest logical termination time from the set of resources. When the first logical creation time of the resource exceeds the earliest logical termination time from the set of resources, a conflict between the resource and the set of resources is detected, and a restart of the first transaction is triggered.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a performance-optimized server image. The method includes receiving logs that include performance information of one or more servers of a first type. Current values for performance parameters of the one or more servers are determined based on the logs. Optimal value ranges for the performance parameters are determined. In response to determining that, for at least one performance parameter, a current value is outside a respective optimal value range, incremental changes are determined. The incremental changes are applied to a latest version of a server image of the first type to create a new version of the server image. New values for the performance parameters are determined. In response to determining that, for each performance parameter, a new value is within a respective optimal value range, the new version of the server image is validated as a performance-optimized version of the server image.

Abstract: An object-based data storage service receives a request to store a data object in a first location corresponding to a first data storage tier. The request may specify a parameter to enable transitioning of the data object to another data storage tier. In response to the request, the object-based data storage service stores the data object in the first location and monitors access of the data object to determine usage data associated with the data object. The object-based data storage service processes the usage data to determine that the data object is to be transitioned to a second data storage tier. As a result of this determination, the object-based data storage service transitions the data object to a second location corresponding to the second data storage tier.
