Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing auxiliary functions in an on-demand code execution system in a manner that enables efficient execution of code. A user may generate a task on the system by submitting code. The system may determine the auxiliary functions that the submitted code may require when executed on the system, and may provide these auxiliary functions by provisioning or configuring sidecar virtualized execution environments that work in conjunction with the main virtualized execution environment executing the submitted code. Sidecar virtualized execution environments may be identified and obtained from a library of preconfigured sidecar virtualized execution environments, or a sidecar agent that provides the auxiliary function may be identified from a library, and then a virtualized execution environment may be provisioned with the agent and/or configured to work in conjunction with the main virtualized execution environment.

The system may determine the auxiliary functions that the submitted code may require when executed on the system, and may provide these auxiliary functions by provisioning sidecar virtual machine instances that work in conjunction with the virtual machine instance executing the submitted code. The sidecars may provide auxiliary functions on a per-task, per-user, or per-request basis, and the lifecycles of the sidecars may be determined based on the lifecycles of the virtual machine instances that execute submitted code. Auxiliary functions may thus be provided only when needed, and may be provided securely by preventing a user from accessing the sidecars of other users.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing operating system customization in an on-demand code execution system in a manner that enables efficient execution of code. A user may generate a task on the system by submitting code. The system may determine the operating system functions that the submitted code may invoke when executed on the system, and may determine whether the required functionality can be provided by a customized operating system. The customized operating system may provide some functionality but omit other functionality, and thereby avoid consuming any resources associated with making the omitted functionality available. For example, the system may determine that the user-submitted code does not require filesystem interactions, network interactions, interactions with particular devices, caching, paging, profiling, etc., and may thus provide an operating system that does not include one or more of these services.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for enabling graceful recovery of network connections in a virtual machine instance that has been migrated or temporarily halted. To prevent the virtual machine instance from attempting to reuse open connections, which might fail due to migration or halting, a host device identifies open connections just prior to halting the virtual machine instance on the host, and transmits to the virtual machine instance termination signals for the open connections. The host device may further transmit termination signals to the other parties to such connections. Each termination signal may be formatted so as to appear to originate from the other party to the connection, causing both parties to synchronize their knowledge of the connection. On reactivation, the virtual machine instance can recovery the connections without errors associated with attempted utilization of broken connections.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing performance-based hardware emulation in an on-demand network code execution system. A user may generate a task on the system by submitting code. The system may determine, based on the code or its execution, that the code executes more efficiently if certain functionality is available, such as an extension to a processor's instruction set. The system may further determine that it can provide the needed functionality using various computing resources, which may include physical hardware, emulated hardware (e.g., a virtual machine), or combinations thereof. The system may then determine and provide a set of computing resources to use when executing the user-submitted code, which may be based on factors such as availability, cost, estimated performance, desired performance, or other criteria. The system may also migrate code from one set of computing resources to another, and may analyze demand and project future computing resource needs.
