CUSTOMER-DIRECTED NETWORKING LIMITS IN DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for supporting customer-directed networking limits in distributed systems are disclosed. A client request is received via a programmatic interface, indicating a particular lower resource usage limit to be imposed on at least one category of network traffic at a particular instance of a network-accessible service. Resource usage metrics for one or more categories of network traffic at the particular instance are obtained. In response to a determination that resource usage at the particular instance has reached a threshold level, one or more responsive actions are initiated.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a plurality of computing devices configured to:
implement one or more programmatic interfaces enabling a client to request an imposition, during at least a time interval, of a lower resource usage limit than an existing resource usage limit in effect at the time of the request at one or more service instances of a multi-tenant network-accessible service of a provider network, wherein the lower resource usage limit is to be applied to at least one category of network traffic with a resource usage dependent pricing policy;receive a client request, via a particular interface of the one or more programmatic interfaces, indicating a particular lower resource usage limit to be imposed on network traffic at a particular service instance;obtain resource usage metrics corresponding to one or more categories of network traffic at the particular service instance; andin response to a determination that resource usage associated with network traffic at the particular service instance has reached a threshold level determined at least in part from the particular lower resource usage limit, initiate one or more responsive actions including a generation of a notification.
