Abstract: A method for grouping and storing objects across different storage solutions in storage systems according to analysis of multiple dimensions of information may be implemented as or in a storage management module. The module collects information about objects (e.g., data objects) in a storage system (e.g., a data storage system). The objects may be objects already stored in the storage system or may be new objects to be stored in the storage system. The module analyzes the collected information across multiple dimensions to determine groupings of the objects, and determines a storage solution for each determined grouping. The module may then direct storage of the objects in the groupings according to the determined storage solutions. Upon obtaining new information about object(s) in the storage system, the module may direct movement of the object(s) from one storage solution to another storage solution according to an analysis including the new information.

Abstract translation: 根据信息的多个维度的分析，用于在存储系统中的不同存储解决方案上分组和存储对象的方法可以被实现为存储管理模块中或存储在管理模块中。 模块收集关于存储系统（例如，数据存储系统）中的对象（例如，数据对象）的信息。 对象可以是已经存储在存储系统中的对象，或者可以是要存储在存储系统中的新对象。 该模块分析多个维度上收集的信息，以确定对象的分组，并确定每个确定的分组的存储解决方案。 然后，模块可以根据所确定的存储解决方案直接将对象存储在分组中。 在获得关于存储系统中的对象的新信息时，模块可以根据包括新信息的分析，将对象从一个存储解决方案引导到另一个存储解决方案。

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for token-based admission control for replicated writes are disclosed. Data objects are divided into partitions, and corresponding to each partition, at least a master replica and a slave replica are stored. A determination as to whether to accept a write request directed to the partition is made based at least in part on one or more of (a) available throughput capacity at the master replica, and (b) an indication, obtained using a token-based protocol, of available throughput capacity at the slave replica. If the write request is accepted, one or more data modification operations are initiated.

Abstract: A system that implements a scalable data storage service may maintain tables in a non-relational data store on behalf of clients. The system may provide a Web services interface through which service requests are received, and an API usable to request that a table be created, deleted, or described; that an item be stored, retrieved, deleted, or its attributes modified; or that a table be queried (or scanned) with filtered items and/or their attributes returned. An asynchronous workflow may be invoked to create or delete a table. Items stored in tables may be partitioned and indexed using a simple or composite primary key. The system may not impose pre-defined limits on table size, and may employ a flexible schema. The service may provide a best-effort or committed throughput model. The system may automatically scale and/or re-partition tables in response to detecting workload changes, node failures, or other conditions or anomalies.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for vibration cancellation are disclosed. Vibration data from one or more vibration detectors associated with a storage device is collected. The vibration data represents vibrations experienced by the storage device. In response to the vibration data from the one or more vibration detectors, one or more movements for respective ones of one or more counter-vibration actuators to at least partially cancel of the vibrations experienced by the storage device is calculated. The one or more counter-vibration actuators perform the one or more movements.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for client-selectable power source options for network-accessible service units are described. A programmatic interface is implemented to enable clients of a service to select, from among a plurality of power source categories including a renewable category and a non-renewable category, a power source category to be used for a service unit. Based on inputs received via the interface, the respective amounts of power to be obtained from renewable and non-renewable categories during a time period may be estimated. A verification operation comparing the estimated amounts to the amount of power that is actually obtained from the different sources may be performed.

Abstract: A computing system includes a chassis, one or more backplanes coupled to the chassis. Computing devices are coupled to the one or more backplanes. The one or more backplanes include backplane openings that allow air to pass from one side of the backplane to the other side of the backplane. Air channels are formed by adjacent circuit board assemblies of the computing devices and the one or more backplanes. Channel capping elements at least partially close the air channels.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for token-based pricing policies for burst-mode operations are disclosed. A pricing policy to be applied to token population changes at a token bucket used for admission control during burst-mode operations at a work target is determined. Over a time period, changes to the token population of that bucket are recorded. A billing amount to be charged to a client is determined, based on the recorded changes in token population and an associated pricing amount indicated in the pricing policy.
