    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: Techniques for are described which enable users of a service provider network to manage local storage devices connected to computer systems of the service provider network as a service. A service provider network provides an application programming interface (API) that enables users to manage local storage devices in association with compute instances created by users using a hardware virtualization service of the service provider network. The API can be used to attach local storage devices to compute instances (that is, make local storage devices available for use as a block storage device), detach local storage devices from compute instances (that is, make local storage devices unavailable for use by a compute instance and possibly available for use by other compute instances on the same computer system), among other possible operations.
