International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707626, 707812, 707694

Abstract:

A distributed, web-services based storage system. A system may include a web services interface configured to receive, according to a web services protocol, a given client request for access to a given data object, the request including a key value corresponding to the object. The system may also include storage nodes configured to store replicas of the objects, where each replica is accessible via a respective unique locator value, and a keymap instance configured to store a respective keymap entry for each object. For the given object, the respective keymap entry includes the key value and each locator value corresponding to replicas of the object. A coordinator may receive the given client request from the web services interface, responsively access the keymap instance to identify locator values corresponding to the key value and, for a particular locator value, retrieve a corresponding replica from a corresponding storage node.

Abstract:

Dynamic object replication in distributed storage systems. A system may implement a web services interface, storage nodes, storage node selection logic and a coordinator. The web services interface may be configured to receive, according to a web services protocol, client requests to store data objects including a given client request to store a given one of the data objects. The storage nodes may be configured to store replicas of the data objects. The storage node selection logic may be configured to dynamically determine a write plan for storing replicas of the given data object to corresponding storage nodes, where the write plan is dynamically determined according to current state information of the storage nodes. The coordinator may be configured to receive the client requests from the web services interface, and for the given client request, to store the replicas of the given data object to the corresponding storage nodes according to the write plan.

Abstract:

Techniques are described for facilitating use of sequences of invocable services in a configurable manner, including by providing a metering service that tracks the use of invocable services by other invocable services or applications. In at least some situations, the invocable services are fee-based Web services or other fee-based network-accessible services, and are made available by providers of the services for use by others in exchange for fees defined by the service providers. The described techniques facilitate use of a sequence of such invocable services by applications in a manner configured by the creators of the applications and providers of the services, including to allow the application creators to define pricing terms that will be used to determine fees that end users of the applications will be charged for use of the invocable services via the applications.

Abstract:

Systems and methods authenticate storage devices. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided for authenticating a storage device. According to the method, a manifest that identifies a destination is receive. A transfer station reads a digital signature from the storage device. The digital signature is validated and, based on the validation of the digital signature, a transfer of one or more files from the storage device via the transfer station is authorized to the destination identified in the manifest.
