Abstract: The relative health of data storage drives may be determined based, at least in some aspects, on data access information and/or other drive operation information. In some examples, upon receiving the operation information from a computing device, a health level of a drive may be determined. The health level determination may be based at least in part on operating information received from a client entity. Additionally, a storage space allocation instruction or operation may be determined for execution. The allocation instruction or operation determined to be performed may be based at least in part on the determined health level.

Abstract translation: 至少在一些方面，可以基于数据访问信息和/或其他驱动器操作信息确定数据存储驱动器的相对健康状况。 在一些示例中，在从计算设备接收到操作信息时，可以确定驱动器的健康水平。 健康水平确定可以至少部分地基于从客户实体接收的操作信息。 此外，可以确定存储空间分配指令或操作以执行。 确定要执行的分配指令或操作可以至少部分地基于所确定的健康水平。

Abstract: A system and method for predicting the likelihood of failure of the individual sectors of a magnetic storage disk based upon the monitoring of adjacent sector performance in responding to access requests. The prediction for a specific target sector's fidelity can be made through the gathering of sector performance data that occurs during normal read/write actions to the adjacent sectors, without a recent access request necessarily being made to the target sector. Scrubbing of the sectors can also be directed based upon the needed sector access data for target sector fidelity prediction.

Abstract translation: 一种用于基于在对访问请求进行响应的相邻扇区性能的监视来预测磁存储盘的各个扇区的故障的可能性的系统和方法。 可以通过收集在相邻扇区的正常读/写动作期间发生的扇区性能数据，而不需要对目标扇区进行最近的访问请求，来对特定目标扇区的保真度进行预测。 也可以基于用于目标扇区保真度预测的所需扇区访问数据来指导扇区的擦除。

Abstract: Users intending to launch instances or otherwise access virtual resources in a multi-tenant environment can specify a launch configuration. For each type of instance or each type of user, at least one launch configuration is created that includes parameters and values to be used in instantiating an instance of that type, the values being optimized for the current environment and type of instance. Launch configurations can be optimized for different types of users, such as to account for security credentials and access levels. Such an approach enables users to launch instances by contacting the resource provider directly without need for a proxy, which can function as a choke point under heavy load. The use of an appropriate launch configuration can be enforced for any type of user at any level, such as at the sub-net level, by modifying a request that does not specify an appropriate launch configuration.

Abstract translation: 有意在多租户环境中启动实例或以其他方式访问虚拟资源的用户可以指定启动配置。 对于每种类型的实例或每种类型的用户，至少创建一个启动配置，其中包括要在实例化该类型的实例时使用的参数和值，为当前环境和实例类型进行优化的值。 可以针对不同类型的用户优化启动配置，例如考虑安全凭证和访问级别。 这种方法使用户能够通过直接联系资源提供者来启动实例，而不需要代理服务器，该代理可以在负载较重的情况下作为阻塞点。 可以通过修改不指定适当的启动配置的请求来为任何级别的任何类型的用户（例如，在子网级别）强制执行适当的启动配置。

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing credentials distribute the credentials to subsets of a set of collectively managed computing resources. The collectively managed computing resources may include one or more virtual machine instances. The credentials distributed to the computing resources may be used by the computing resources to perform one or more actions. Actions may include performing one or more functions in connection with configuration, management, and/or operation of the one or more resources, and/or access of other computing resources. The ability to use credentials may be changed based at least in part on the occurrence of one or more events.
