Abstract: Techniques are described that enable a cloud provider network to provide specialized regions that can be used to achieve greater availability assurance for workloads highly sensitive to downtime or outages. Cloud provider network users may use specialized regions to complement the use of provider network services offered in other geographic regions defined by the cloud provider network, either to host redundant computing resources or for failover purposes, where the operation of a specialized region is designed to provide additional resiliency against various types of correlated failures among the geographic regions. As one example, a cloud provider network may stage deployments of software updates to the web services provided by the cloud provider network in a manner that ensures that specialized regions receive such updates last and over a relatively long period of time, thereby helping to ensure that any software defects are detected in an earlier deployment of the update.

Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of a cloud provider network to request the conditional termination of computing resources based on a forecasted availability of replacement capacity at a specified time or range of time in the future. A cloud provider network provides an application programming interface that can be used to make such requests, where the computing resources are hosted by the cloud provider network as part of a capacity pool shared by tenants of the cloud provider network. This type of request can be generated, for example, by a user desiring to terminate the use of some number of unproductive computing resources only if the user can be reasonably assured by the cloud provider network that capacity will be available at a future time when the user will likely need the capacity again.

Abstract: Techniques are described for providing a multi-service storage layer in a cloud provider network for applications and workloads that are highly sensitive to outages affecting “mission critical” data or other resources. A multi-service storage layer is designed to provide additional resiliency against various types of correlated failures among existing geographic regions by enabling the storage of data using a plurality of separate storage services and storage resource types and across a plurality of regions of the cloud-provider network. A multi-service storage layer provides an application programming interface (API) with actions for storing, retrieving, and querying data stored in a highly available storage resource across a selection of underlying storage services. The ability to store critical data and other resources using a multi-service storage layer provides additional resiliency while also providing a single interface that applications can use to interact with the data stored across any number of underlying storage services.
