    Abstract: Aspects relate to a framework for utilizing a single API request to manage the creation of consistent snapshots for a set of volumes attached an individual instance in a distributed computing environment. Responsive to receipt of an API request identifying the instance, the multi-volume snapshot service identifies a set of volumes attached to the identified instance. The identified set of volumes can be processed or filtered to eliminate specific volumes or types of volumes, such as boot volumes. In the event that any snapshot creation attempt fails, the multi-volume snapshot service fails the API request and can delete any snapshot data generated prior to the failure.

    Abstract: A client-configurable tiering service implements an interface allowing a client to specify a tiering policy selected from a plurality of supported tiering policies for data of the client stored in a warm tier, wherein the tiering policies specify conditions for relocating portions of the data to a cold tier. The interface also allows a client to specify a tombstone forwarding policy selected from a plurality of supported tombstone forwarding policies, wherein the tombstone forwarding policies specify how data relocated from the warm tier to the cold tier is subsequently retrieved in response to an access request directed to the warm tier. The client-configurable tiering service relocates and retrieves data between a warm tier and a cold tier in accordance with the client's selected policies. In some embodiments, a client may specify further aspects of how data is stored and relocated between different tiers of a data store.
