Abstract: Systems and methods are described for simulated data object storage on a data storage system. The system may allow clients to store computed data objects, which are generated from a source data object based on a user-defined transformation. For example, computed data objects may be thumbnail images generated based on a full resolution image. When a request to store a computed data object is received, the system can predict a timing of a next request for the data object. If expected resource consumption associated with storing the data object until a next request exceeds expected resource consumption associated with generating the data object in response to the next request, the system can acknowledge the request to store the data object, but not actually store the data object. Instead, the system may generate the data object in response to the next request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for selectively transitioning execution environments in an on-demand code execution system based on a timing of a next request to execute code within such environments. The system can predict, from a history of requests to the system, when a next call to execute code in an environment, such as a virtual machine instance, will occur. The system can then calculate and compare the relative costs of maintaining the environment in an executing state or of halting the environment and moving the environment to a lower tier of memory, each of which can be based on the predicted next call to execute code within the environment. If the relative cost of maintaining the environment in an executing state exceeds that of halting the environment and moving the environment to a lower tier of memory, the virtual machine is halted and transitioned to secondary memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing secure storage of data sets while enabling efficient deduplication of data. Each data set can be divided into fixed-length blocks. The plaintext of each block can be convergently encrypted, such as by using a hash of the plaintext as an encryption key, to result in block-level ciphertext that can be stored. If two data sets share blocks, the resulting block-level ciphertext can be expected to overlap, and thus duplicative block-level ciphertexts need not be stored. A manifest can be created to facilitate re-creation of the data set, which manifest identifies the block-level ciphertexts of the data set and a key by which each block-level ciphertext was encrypted. By use of block-level encryption, nearly identical data sets can be largely deduplicated, even if they are not perfectly identical.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for management of garbage collection processes in an on-demand code execution system. An on-demand code execution system may execute user-submitted code on virtual machine instances. As each virtual machine instance executes code, garbage (e.g., memory that is allocated and then not properly de-allocated) may accumulate and may reduce the computing resources that the virtual machine instance makes available for allocation to further code executions. A garbage collection schedule manager may be used to generate a system-wide garbage collection schedule and manage garbage collection processes in accordance with the schedule. The garbage collection schedule manager may schedule garbage collection processes at times when demand for computing resources is forecasted to be low, and may coordinate scheduling of garbage collection processes across multiple virtual machine instances and host computing devices to prevent garbage collection processes from impacting code execution performance.

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.

Abstract: A virtualization management component of a particular host at a virtualized computing determines that a packet duplication phase of a migration of a virtual machine from a source host to the particular host has begun. The virtualization management component detects that a migrated version of the virtual machine, instantiated at the particular virtualization host, has generated a baseline packet directed to a destination address. The virtualization management component sends a first encapsulation packet comprising the baseline packet to an encapsulation intermediary associated with the destination address. The virtualization management component sends a second encapsulation packet comprising the baseline packet to the source virtualization host, with a directive to forward the second encapsulation packet to the encapsulation intermediary.
