Abstract: Workloads can be intelligently placed across a group of resources in order to attempt to balance or otherwise manage the level of wear among various components of those resources. Devices such as solid state drives or other NAND-type devices can have a limited number of operations that can be performed before those devices become unreliable, such that it can be desirable to monitor the wear level of each of these devices. As it can be easier to manage resources with similar wear levels for large groups of resources, it can be desirable to attempt to level the relative amount of wear among at least groups of these resources. Attempts can be made to level across a fleet or resources, within pools of resources, and/or within the resources themselves, such as where a server includes multiple devices with potentially different wear levels, such as multiple NAND-type devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods for handling battery backup resources in a computer system differently in certain situations, such as catastrophic events, based upon an assigned layer of the datacenter components to which the battery backup resource provides backup power. The layer can be based, for example, on criticality of the resource to the system. Less critical layers can shed load or gracefully shut down to respond to the event, and the battery resources can be reallocated or reconfigured to provide battery power to the more critical layers.

Abstract: A service provider can maintain one or more host computing devices that can be accessed as host computing device resources by customers. A hosting platform includes components arranged in a manner to limit modifications to software or firmware on hardware components. In some aspects, the hosting platform may include a master latch that indicates whether the components may be configured, and the master latch may be set once and only reset upon completion of a power cycle. In another aspect, the hosting platform can implement management functions for establishing control plane functions between the host computing device and the service provider that is independent of the customer. Additionally, the management functions can also be utilized to present different hardware or software attributes of the host computing device.
Abstract translation: 服务提供商可以维护一个或多个可由客户作为主机计算设备资源访问的主机计算设备。 托管平台包括以限制对硬件组件上的软件或固件的修改的方式来安排的组件。 在一些方面，托管平台可以包括指示是否可以配置组件的主锁存器，并且可以将主锁存器设置为一次，并且仅在电源周期完成时才复位。 另一方面，托管平台可以实现用于在主机计算设备和独立于客户的服务提供商之间建立控制平面功能的管理功能。 此外，还可以利用管理功能来呈现主机计算设备的不同硬件或软件属性。

Abstract: When providing a user with native access to at least a portion of device hardware, the user can be prevented from modifying firmware and other configuration information by controlling the mechanisms used to update that information. For example, a clock or a timer mechanism can be used by a network interface card to define a mutability period. During the mutability period, firmware update to a peripheral device can be allowed. Once the mutability period has expired, firmware update to a peripheral device will no longer be allowed.
Abstract translation: 当向用户提供对至少一部分设备硬件的本地访问时，可以通过控制用于更新该信息的机制来阻止用户修改固件和其他配置信息。 例如，网络接口卡可以使用时钟或定时器机制来定义可变性周期。 在可变性期间，可以允许对外围设备的固件更新。 一旦可变性时间段到期，将不再允许对外围设备的固件更新。

Abstract: Application program data stored in system memory may be selectively persisted. An indication may be provided to an application program that an application data object or a range of application data stored in system memory may be treated as persistent. Data backup may be enabled for the application data object or range of application data in the event of a system failure, copying the application data object or range of application data from system memory to non-volatile data storage. Upon recovery from a system failure, further data backup for the application data object or the range of application data may be disabled. In some embodiments, at least some of the application data object or range of application data may be recovered for the application program to access. Data backup for the application data object or the range of application data may also be re-enabled.

Abstract: A trusted computing host is described that provides various security computations and other functions in a distributed multitenant and/or virtualized computing environment. The trusted host computing device can communicate with one or more host computing devices that host virtual machines to provide a number of security-related functions, including but not limited to boot firmware measurement, cryptographic key management, remote attestation, as well as security and forensics management. The trusted computing host maintains an isolated partition for each host computing device in the environment and communicates with peripheral cards on host computing devices in order to provide one or more security functions.

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: Efficient and highly-scalable network solutions are provided that each utilize deployment units based on Clos networks, but in an environment such as a data center of Internet Protocol-based network. Each of the deployment units can include multiple stages of devices, where connections between devices are only made between stages and the deployment units are highly connected. In some embodiments, the level of connectivity between two stages can be reduced, providing available connections to add edge switches and additional host connections while keeping the same number of between-tier connections. In some embodiments, where deployment units (or other network groups) can be used at different levels to connect other deployment units, the edges of the deployment units can be fused to reduce the number of devices per host connection.
Abstract translation: 提供了高效和高度可扩展的网络解决方案，其每个利用基于Clos网络的部署单元，但在诸如基于因特网协议的网络的数据中心之类的环境中。 每个部署单元可以包括多个设备阶段，其中设备之间的连接仅在阶段之间进行，部署单元高度连接。 在一些实施例中，可以减少两级之间的连接级别，为保留相同数量的层间连接提供可用于添加边缘交换机和附加主机连接的连接。 在一些实施例中，其中可以在不同级别使用部署单元（或其他网络组）来连接其他部署单元，可以融合部署单元的边缘以减少每个主机连接的设备数量。

Abstract: Various features are described for generating and analyzing data center topology graphs. The graphs can represent physical placement and connectivity of data center components. In some cases the graphs may include hierarchical representations of data center components and systems, and may also include environmental and operational characteristics of the computing devices and supporting systems which may be included in a data center. In addition, the graphs may be linked to each other though common components, so that data center topology may be analyzed in two or more dimensions rather than a single dimension. The linked graphs may be analyzed to identify potential points of failure and also to identify which data center components may be affected by a failure.
