    Abstract: Customers of a shared-resource environment can provision resources in a fine-grained manner that meets specific performance requirements. A customer can provision a data volume with a committed rate of Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS) and pay only for that commitment (plus any overage), and the amount of storage requested. The customer will then at any time be able to complete at least the committed rate of IOPS. If the customer generates submissions at a rate that exceeds the committed rate, the resource can still process at the higher rate when the system is not under pressure. Even under pressure, the system will deliver at least the committed rate. Multiple customers can be provisioned on the same resource, and more than one customer can have a committed rate on that resource. Customers without committed or guaranteed rates can utilize the uncommitted portion, or committed portions that are not being used.

    Abstract: A first one or more messages is received, the one or more messages including a request for a storage expansion device for an extension of a provider network, an identifier of the extension of the provider network, and a set of one or more identifiers associated with objects to load to the storage expansion device. For each identifier in the set, an object associated with the identifier is copied from an object store of the provider network to the storage expansion device. A shipment of the storage expansion device to a specified location is initiated. The extension of the provider network is caused to launch an instance to communicate with the storage expansion device upon connection of the storage expansion device to the extension of the provider network.

    Abstract: One or more configuration parameters for an object gateway instance are received at an interface to a provider network, the parameters including an identifier of a first object store of the provider network for which to cache objects in a first object cache of the object gateway instance and an indication of a data transfer mode that controls when objects written to the first object cache are written to the first object store. The one or more configuration parameters are stored in a data store of the provider network and sent to the object gateway instance. A read request that includes the identifier of the first object store and a first object identifier is received from the object gateway instance, and a first object associated with the first object identifier and stored in the first object store is sent to the object gateway instance.

    Abstract: Generally described, aspects of the present application correspond to enabling rapid duplication of data within a data volume hosted on a network storage system. The network storage system can maintain a highly distributed replica of the data volume, designated for duplication of data within the volume and separate from one or more other replicas designated for handling modifications to the data volume. By providing increased parallelization, the highly distributed replica can facilitate rapid duplication of the volume. When a sufficiently large request to duplicate the data volume is received, the system can create additional duplicate portions of the volume to further increase parallelization. For example, a partition of the highly distributed replica may be repeatedly duplicated to create a large number of intermediary duplicate partitions. The intermediary duplicate partitions can then be used to service the duplication request rapidly, due to increased parallelism.

    Abstract: A distributed system may include one or more interfaces, such as APIs, allowing a client to request a resource instance and further provide information about the resource instance that can be used to determine a placement domain for resource instance. For example, a compute instance may be placed in a same placement domain as a volume that provides block storage for the compute instance. In some embodiments, a resource placement manager may “jam” place a resource instance in a particular placement domain, wherein the “jam” placement causes one or more placement constraints to be temporarily violated. The resource placement manager may then perform one or more mitigating actions to return the particular placement domain to a state that satisfies the one or more placement constraints.
