  • Dividing authorization between a control plane and a data plane for sharing database data
    Patent number: 11899685
    Abstract: Authorization is divided between a control plane and a data plane for sharing database data. A producer database engine can create a shared database via a data plane interface. A producer can then authorize access to the shared database via a control plane interface to a consumer. A consumer can associate the authorization granted to the consumer with a consumer database engine via the control plane interface.

  • DETECTING IDLE PERIODS AT NETWORK ENDPOINTS FOR MANAGEMENT ACTIONS AT PROCESSING CLUSTERS FOR MANAGED DATABASES
    Publication number: 20230169048
    Abstract: Idle periods may be for management actions at processing clusters for managed databases. A leader node of a processing cluster for a managed database may monitor a network endpoint at a proxy service associated with a database managed by the database service. An idle period for the database may be detected. A management action for the processing cluster may be determined to be performed during the detected idle period. The leader node may cause the determined management action to be performed.

  • Caching results for sub-queries to different data store locations
    Patent number: 11308106
    Abstract: Caching results of sub-queries to different locations in a data store may be performed. A database query may be received that causes different storage engines to perform sub-queries to different locations in a data store that stores data for a database. The results of the sub-queries may be stored in a cache. When another database query is received, sub-queries generated to perform the other database query that are the same as one or more of the previously performed sub-queries may obtain the results of the sub-queries from the cache instead of performing the sub-queries again.

  • Rapid secure authentication and communications through multitenant components in provider networks
    Patent number: 11133933
    Abstract: Techniques for rapid secure authentication and communications through multitenant components in a provider network are described. A main database cluster can request a burst cluster from a burst service, which can provide the main cluster with a shared secret associated with only a selected burst cluster. The main cluster can use the shared secret to encrypt a value that can be passed, via a proxy, to the selected burst cluster in a connection request. The selected burst cluster can validate that the connection request was truly originated by the main cluster by validating the encrypted value using the shared secret.
