Generally described, computing devices utilize a communication network, or a series of communication networks, to exchange data. Companies and organizations operate computer networks that interconnect a number of computing devices to support operations or provide services to third parties. The computing systems can be located in a single geographic location or located in multiple, distinct geographic locations (e.g., interconnected via private or public communication networks). Specifically, data centers or data processing centers, herein generally referred to as a “data center,” may include a number of interconnected computing systems to provide computing resources to users of the data center. The data centers may be private data centers operated on behalf of an organization or public data centers operated on behalf, or for the benefit of, the general public.
To facilitate increased utilization of data center resources, virtualization technologies may allow a single physical computing device to host one or more instances of virtual machines that appear and operate as independent computing devices to users of a data center. With virtualization, the single physical computing device can create, maintain, delete, or otherwise manage virtual machines in a dynamic manner. In turn, users can request computer resources from a data center, including single computing devices or a configuration of networked computing devices, and be provided with varying numbers of virtual machine resources.
In some scenarios, virtual machine instances may be configured according to a number of virtual machine instance types to provide specific functionality. For example, various computing devices may be associated with different combinations of operating systems or operating system configurations, virtualized hardware resources and software applications to enable a computing device to provide different desired functionalities, or to provide similar functionalities more efficiently. These virtual machine instance type configurations are often contained within a device image, which includes static data containing the software (e.g., the OS and applications together with their configuration and data files, etc.) that the virtual machine will run once started. The device image is typically stored on the disk used to create or initialize the instance. Thus, a computing device may process the device image in order to implement the desired software configuration.
The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this disclosure will become more readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Companies and organizations no longer need to acquire and manage their own data centers in order to perform computing operations (e.g., execute code, including threads, programs, software, routines, subroutines, processes, etc.). With the advent of cloud computing, storage space and compute power traditionally provided by hardware computing devices can now be obtained and configured in minutes over the Internet. Thus, developers can quickly purchase a desired amount of computing resources without having to worry about acquiring physical machines. Such computing resources are typically purchased in the form of virtual computing resources, or virtual machine instances. These instances of virtual machines, which are hosted on physical computing devices with their own operating systems and other software components, can be utilized in the same manner as physical computers.
However, even when virtual computing resources are purchased, developers still have to decide how many and what type of virtual machine instances to purchase, and how long to keep them. For example, the costs of using the virtual machine instances may vary depending on the type and the number of hours they are rented. In addition, the minimum time a virtual machine may be rented is typically on the order of hours. Further, developers have to specify the hardware and software resources (e.g., type of operating systems and language runtimes, etc.) to install on the virtual machines. Other concerns that they might have include over-utilization (e.g., acquiring too little computing resources and suffering performance issues), under-utilization (e.g., acquiring more computing resources than necessary to run the codes, and thus overpaying), prediction of change in traffic (e.g., so that they know when to scale up or down), and instance and language runtime startup delay, which can take 3-10 minutes, or longer, even though users may desire computing capacity on the order of seconds or even milliseconds. Thus, an improved method of allowing users to take advantage of the virtual machine instances provided by service providers is desired.
According to aspects of the present disclosure, by maintaining a pool of pre-initialized virtual machine instances that are ready for use as soon as a user request is received, delay (sometimes referred to as latency) associated with executing the user code (e.g., instance and language runtime startup time) can be significantly reduced.
Generally described, aspects of the present disclosure relate to the management of virtual machine instances and containers created therein. Specifically, systems and methods are disclosed which facilitate management of virtual machine instances in a virtual compute system. The virtual compute system maintains a pool of virtual machine instances that have one or more software components (e.g., operating systems, language runtimes, libraries, etc.) loaded thereon. The virtual machine instances in the pool can be designated to service user requests to execute program codes. The program codes can be executed in isolated containers that are created on the virtual machine instances. Since the virtual machine instances in the pool have already been booted and loaded with particular operating systems and language runtimes by the time the requests are received, the delay associated with finding compute capacity that can handle the requests (e.g., by executing the user code in one or more containers created on the virtual machine instances) is significantly reduced.
In certain embodiments, a message queue, a message bus, or any other message intermediary service is provided to facilitate transportation or communication of event messages generated in a first programmatic environment (e.g., at an auxiliary service) to the programmatic environment provided by the virtual compute system described herein. To further facilitate propagation and transportation of a triggered event from the first programmatic environment to the virtual compute system, event messages may be generated to include information descriptive of the triggered event, a user associated with a request to execute user code in response to the triggered event, and programmatic information to enable the virtual compute system to convert the event message into a user request for further processing by the virtual compute system. The event message and/or programmatic information contained therein may be structured according to a schema, a code model, or an application programming interface (“API”) to facilitate both creation/generation of the event message at the auxiliary service and conversion/processing of the event message at the virtual compute system.
In another aspect, a virtual compute system may maintain a pool of virtual machine instances on one or more physical computing devices, where each virtual machine instance has one or more software components loaded thereon. When the virtual compute system receives a request to execute the program code of a user, which specifies one or more computing constraints for executing the program code of the user, the virtual compute system may select a virtual machine instance for executing the program code of the user based on the one or more computing constraints specified by the request and cause the program code of the user to be executed on the selected virtual machine instance.
One benefit provided by the systems and methods described herein is an implicit and automatic rate matching and scaling between events being triggered on an auxiliary service and the corresponding execution of user code on various virtual machine instances. Thus, the virtual compute system is capable of responding to events on-demand, whether the events are triggered infrequently (e.g., once per day) or on a larger scale (e.g., hundreds or thousands per second).
Specific embodiments and example applications of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the drawings. These embodiments and example applications are intended to illustrate, and not limit, the present disclosure.
With reference to
By way of illustration, various example user computing devices 102 are shown in communication with the virtual compute system 110, including a desktop computer, laptop, and a mobile phone. In general, the user computing devices 102 can be any computing device such as a desktop, laptop, mobile phone (or smartphone), tablet, kiosk, wireless device, and other electronic devices. In addition, the user computing devices 102 may include web services running on the same or different data centers, where, for example, different web services may programmatically communicate with each other to perform one or more techniques described herein. Further, the user computing devices 102 may include Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as Internet appliances and connected devices. The virtual compute system 110 may provide the user computing devices 102 with one or more user interfaces, command-line interfaces (CLI), application programing interfaces (API), and/or other programmatic interfaces for generating and uploading user codes, invoking the user codes (e.g., submitting a request to execute the user codes on the virtual compute system 110), scheduling event-based jobs or timed jobs, tracking the user codes, and/or viewing other logging or monitoring information related to their requests and/or user codes. Although one or more embodiments may be described herein as using a user interface, it should be appreciated that such embodiments may, additionally or alternatively, use any CLIs, APIs, or other programmatic interfaces.
The user computing devices 102 access the virtual compute system 110 over a network 104. The network 104 may be any wired network, wireless network, or combination thereof. In addition, the network 104 may be a personal area network, local area network, wide area network, over-the-air broadcast network (e.g., for radio or television), cable network, satellite network, cellular telephone network, or combination thereof. For example, the network 104 may be a publicly accessible network of linked networks, possibly operated by various distinct parties, such as the Internet. In some embodiments, the network 104 may be a private or semi-private network, such as a corporate or university intranet. The network 104 may include one or more wireless networks, such as a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, or any other type of wireless network. The network 104 can use protocols and components for communicating via the Internet or any of the other aforementioned types of networks. For example, the protocols used by the network 104 may include Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), HTTP Secure (HTTPS), Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), and the like. Protocols and components for communicating via the Internet or any of the other aforementioned types of communication networks are well known to those skilled in the art and, thus, are not described in more detail herein.
The virtual compute system 110 is depicted in
Further, the virtual compute system 110 may be implemented in hardware and/or software and may, for instance, include one or more physical or virtual servers implemented on physical computer hardware configured to execute computer executable instructions for performing various features that will be described herein. The one or more servers may be geographically dispersed or geographically co-located, for instance, in one or more data centers.
In the environment illustrated
In the example of
In one embodiment, the one or more auxiliary services 106 may be registered or configured to be polled or queried for events to trigger execution of user codes on the virtual compute system 110. Such registration or configuration may be provided or enabled via the one or more user interfaces provided to the user computing devices 102. For example, a user interface may provide options for the user to select or specify an auxiliary service 106 as an event-triggering service 106A, such that events on the event-triggering service 106A may trigger generation of event messages, or such that the event-triggering service 106A may be periodically polled or queried for events such as by an intermediary polling system.
In one embodiment, the event triggering service 106A may be configured to associate an event or event type with a particular program code to be executed on the virtual compute system 110 (that is, the event triggering service 106A may store or have access to data which associates the event with the particular program code). In another embodiment, the event triggering service 106A may not necessarily associate an event or event type with a particular program code to be executed on the virtual compute system 110, but rather the event triggering service 106A may generate event messages which the virtual compute system 110 is configured to interpret as being associated with the program code to be executed on the virtual compute system 110 (that is, the virtual compute system 110 may store or have access to data which associates the event with the particular program code). In another embodiment, an intermediary system or service may be configured to handle interpretation and routing of event messages to execute the program code, such that neither the event triggering service 106A nor the virtual compute system 110 may store or have access to the event-to-program code association data. For example, the event triggering service 106A may generate an event message that is agnostic to any particular program code to be executed; and the event message may be routed to the virtual compute system 110 (or an intermediary system) which evaluates the event message and associated metadata to determine which program code to execute in response, and initiate a corresponding request to execute the program code.
As mentioned above, any of the auxiliary services 106 may be configured to operate as an event triggering service 106A. These include but are not limited to: remote storage systems; database systems; message queue systems (for example, a message queue service provided by the virtual compute system 110, a message queue system owned and/or operated by a user or client separate from the virtual compute system 110, and so on); web services; auditing services; health monitoring services (for example, for monitoring health status of a virtual compute system); logging services; billing services; resource management systems and services (for example, for managing lifecycles and/or ownership of virtual computing environments and the like); and so on.
Users may use the virtual compute system 110 to execute user code thereon. For example, a user may wish to run a piece of code in connection with a web or mobile application that the user has developed. One way of running the code would be to acquire virtual machine instances from service providers who provide infrastructure as a service, configure the virtual machine instances to suit the user's needs, and use the configured virtual machine instances to run the code. Alternatively, the user may send a code execution request the virtual compute system 110. The virtual compute system 110 can handle the acquisition and configuration of compute capacity (e.g., containers, instances, etc., which are described in greater detail below) based on the code execution request, and execute the code using the compute capacity. The virtual compute system 110 may automatically scale up and down based on the volume, thereby relieving the user from the burden of having to worry about over-utilization (e.g., acquiring too little computing resources and suffering performance issues) or under-utilization (e.g., acquiring more computing resources than necessary to run the codes, and thus overpaying).
The frontend 120 receives and processes all the requests (sometimes in the form of event messages) to execute user code on the virtual compute system 110. In one embodiment, the frontend 120 serves as a front door to all the other services provided by the virtual compute system 110. The frontend 120 processes the requests and makes sure that the requests are properly authorized. For example, the frontend 120 may determine whether the user associated with the request is authorized to access the user code specified in the request.
The user code as used herein may refer to any program code (e.g., a program, routine, subroutine, thread, etc.) written in a specific program language. In the present disclosure, the terms “code,” “user code,” and “program code,” may be used interchangeably. Such user code may be executed to achieve a specific task, for example, in connection with a particular web application or mobile application developed by the user. For example, the user codes may be written in JavaScript (node.js), Java, Python, and/or Ruby. The request may include the user code (or the location thereof) and one or more arguments to be used for executing the user code. For example, the user may provide the user code along with the request to execute the user code. In another example, the request may identify a previously uploaded program code (e.g., using the API for uploading the code) by its name or its unique ID. In yet another example, the code may be included in the request as well as uploaded in a separate location (e.g., the storage service 108 or a storage system internal to the virtual compute system 110) prior to the request is received by the virtual compute system 110. The virtual compute system 110 may vary its code execution strategy based on where the code is available at the time the request is processed.
The frontend 120 may receive the request to execute such user codes in response to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) requests from a user. Also, any information (e.g., headers and parameters) included in the HTTPS request may also be processed and utilized when executing the user code. As discussed above, any other protocols, including, for example, HTTP, MQTT, and CoAP, may be used to transfer the message containing the code execution request to the frontend 120. The frontend 120 may also receive the request to execute such user codes when an event is detected, such as an event that the user has registered to trigger automatic request generation. For example, the user may configured an auxiliary service 106 to operate as an event-triggering service 106A by registering the user code with the auxiliary service 106 and specifying that whenever a particular event occurs (e.g., a new file is uploaded), the request to execute the user code is sent to the frontend 120. Alternatively, the user may have registered a timed job (e.g., execute the user code every 24 hours). In such an example, when the scheduled time arrives for the timed job, the request to execute the user code may be sent to the frontend 120. A timed or scheduled job may be implemented using the techniques of this disclosure to, for example, model the job as an event generated by a timer service. For example, the timer service may generate an event message indicating that it is now time to run a user code, and the virtual compute system 110 may implement a process to run code at a certain time by utilizing the timer service to remind the virtual compute system 110 to run the user code. In yet another example, the frontend 120 may include or have access to a queue of incoming code execution requests, and when the user's batch job is removed from the virtual compute system's work queue, the frontend 120 may process the user request. In yet another example, the request may originate from another component within the virtual compute system 110 or other servers or services not illustrated in
In yet another example, the request may originate from another component within the virtual compute system 110 or other servers or services not illustrated in
In any of the examples described above and throughout this disclosure, an event message representative of a request to execute the user code may be initially received by a message queue service 105 and provided to or placed in a message queue. The message queue service 105 may be implemented as a component of the auxiliary services 106 or as a different component. In certain embodiments the frontend 120 may periodically poll the message queue service 105 to identify and retrieve event messages for processing. Message events may be placed in the message queue for example by the message queue service 105, such as in response to when an event is detected for which the user has registered to trigger automatic generation of a request to execute user code. In some instances it may be desirable or more practical to detect such events, trigger generation of an event message, and provide the event message to the message queue service 105. For example, depending on the embodiment, the message queue service 105 may be configured to allow ordering of message events so that certain message events may receive a higher priority. In another example, the message queue service 105 may be specifically or specially configured to facilitate transportation of certain types of programmatic events, such as database operations, certain types of data suitable for batch processing, and so on. In one embodiment the message queue service 105 may be configured to provide streaming, and/or ordered transport of messages (for example, as a sharded set of data). The frontend 120 may then poll the message queue service 105 and retrieve event messages for further processing by the virtual compute system 110.
In another embodiment, instead of or in combination with using the message queue service 105, the frontend 120 may query the event triggering service 106A directly to request and receive event messages for further processing, such as via invocation of an API provided by the event triggering service 106A. In another embodiment, the event triggering service 106A may interface directly with the frontend 120 via one or more APIs and function calls. For example, when an event is detected and an event message is generated, the event triggering system 106A may invoke an API provided by the frontend 120 to provide the event message directly to the frontend 120, without necessarily providing the event message to the message queue service 105.
A user request may specify one or more third-party libraries (including native libraries) to be used along with the user code. In one embodiment, the user request includes a package file (for example, a compressed file, a ZIP file, a RAR file, etc.) containing the user code and any libraries (and/or identifications of storage locations thereof). In some embodiments, the user request includes metadata that indicates the program code to be executed, the language in which the program code is written, the user associated with the request, and/or the computing resources (e.g., memory, etc.) to be reserved for executing the program code. For example, the program code may be provided with the request, previously uploaded by the user, provided by the virtual compute system 110 (e.g., standard routines), and/or provided by third parties. In some embodiments, such resource-level constraints (e.g., how much memory is to be allocated for executing a particular user code) are specified for the particular user code, and may not vary over each execution of the user code. In such cases, the virtual compute system 110 may have access to such resource-level constraints before each individual request is received, and the individual requests may not specify such resource-level constraints. In some embodiments, the user request may specify other constraints such as permission data that indicates what kind of permissions that the request has to execute the user code. Such permission data may be used by the virtual compute system 110 to access private resources (e.g., on a private network).
In some embodiments, the user request may specify the behavior that should be adopted for handling the user request. In such embodiments, the user request may include an indicator for enabling one or more execution modes in which the user code associated with the user request is to be executed. For example, the request may include a flag or a header for indicating whether the user code should be executed in a debug mode in which the debugging and/or logging output that may be generated in connection with the execution of the user code is provided back to the user (e.g., via a console user interface). In such an example, the virtual compute system 110 may inspect the request and look for the flag or the header, and if it is present, the virtual compute system 110 may modify the behavior (e.g., logging facilities) of the container in which the user code is executed, and cause the output data to be provided back to the user. In some embodiments, the behavior/mode indicators are added to the request by the user interface provided to the user by the virtual compute system 110. Other features such as source code profiling, remote debugging, etc. may also be enabled or disabled based on the indication provided in the request.
In some embodiments, the virtual compute system 110 may include multiple frontends 120. In such embodiments, a load balancer may be provided to distribute the incoming requests and/or event messages to the multiple frontends 120, for example, in a round-robin fashion.
The warming pool manager 130 ensures that virtual machine instances are ready to be used by the worker manager 140 when the virtual compute system 110 receives a request to execute user code on the virtual compute system 110. In the example illustrated in
As shown in
In some embodiments, the virtual machine instances in the warming pool 130A may be used to serve any user's request. In one embodiment, all the virtual machine instances in the warming pool 130A are configured in the same or substantially similar manner. In another embodiment, the virtual machine instances in the warming pool 130A may be configured differently to suit the needs of different users. For example, the virtual machine instances may have different operating systems, different language runtimes, and/or different libraries loaded thereon. In yet another embodiment, the virtual machine instances in the warming pool 130A may be configured in the same or substantially similar manner (e.g., with the same OS, language runtimes, and/or libraries), but some of those instances may have different container configurations. For example, two instances may have runtimes for both Python and Ruby, but one instance may have a container configured to run Python code, and the other instance may have a container configured to run Ruby code. In some embodiments, multiple warming pools 130A, each having identically-configured virtual machine instances, are provided.
The warming pool manager 130 may pre-configure the virtual machine instances in the warming pool 130A, such that each virtual machine instance is configured to satisfy at least one of the operating conditions that may be requested or specified by the user request to execute program code on the virtual compute system 110. In one embodiment, the operating conditions may include program languages in which the potential user codes may be written. For example, such languages may include Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and the like. In some embodiments, the set of languages that the user codes may be written in may be limited to a predetermined set (e.g., set of 4 languages, although in some embodiments sets of more or less than four languages are provided) in order to facilitate pre-initialization of the virtual machine instances that can satisfy requests to execute user codes. For example, when the user is configuring a request via a user interface provided by the virtual compute system 110, the user interface may prompt the user to specify one of the predetermined operating conditions for executing the user code. In another example, the service-level agreement (SLA) for utilizing the services provided by the virtual compute system 110 may specify a set of conditions (e.g., programming languages, computing resources, etc.) that user requests should satisfy, and the virtual compute system 110 may assume that the requests satisfy the set of conditions in handling the requests. In another example, operating conditions specified in the request may include: the amount of compute power to be used for processing the request; the type of the request (e.g., HTTP vs. a triggered event); the timeout for the request (e.g., threshold time after which the request may be terminated); security policies (e.g., may control which instances in the warming pool 130A are usable by which user); etc.
The worker manager 140 manages the instances used for servicing incoming code execution requests. In the example illustrated in
As shown in
In the example illustrated in
Once a request has been successfully processed by the frontend 120, the worker manager 140 finds capacity to service the request to execute user code on the virtual compute system 110. For example, if there exists a particular virtual machine instance in the active pool 140A that has a container with the same user code loaded therein (e.g., code 156D-1 shown in the container 156D), the worker manager 140 may assign the container to the request and cause the user code to be executed in the container. Alternatively, if the user code is available in the local cache of one of the virtual machine instances (e.g., codes 158G, 158H, which are stored on the instance 158 but do not belong to any individual containers), the worker manager 140 may create a new container on such an instance, assign the container to the request, and cause the user code to be loaded and executed in the container.
If the worker manager 140 determines that the user code associated with the request is not found on any of the instances (e.g., either in a container or the local cache of an instance) in the active pool 140A, the worker manager 140 may determine whether any of the instances in the active pool 140A is currently assigned to the user associated with the request and has compute capacity to handle the current request. If there is such an instance, the worker manager 140 may create a new container on the instance and assign the container to the request. Alternatively, the worker manager 140 may further configure an existing container on the instance assigned to the user, and assign the container to the request. For example, the worker manager 140 may determine that the existing container may be used to execute the user code if a particular library demanded by the current user request is loaded thereon. In such a case, the worker manager 140 may load the particular library and the user code onto the container and use the container to execute the user code.
If the active pool 140A does not contain any instances currently assigned to the user, the worker manager 140 pulls a new virtual machine instance from the warming pool 130A, assigns the instance to the user associated with the request, creates a new container on the instance, assigns the container to the request, and causes the user code to be downloaded and executed on the container.
The user code may be downloaded from an auxiliary service 106 such as the storage service 108 of
Once the worker manager 140 locates one of the virtual machine instances in the warming pool 130A that can be used to serve the user code execution request, the warming pool manager 130 or the worker manger 140 takes the instance out of the warming pool 130A and assigns it to the user associated with the request. The assigned virtual machine instance is taken out of the warming pool 130A and placed in the active pool 140A. In some embodiments, once the virtual machine instance has been assigned to a particular user, the same virtual machine instance cannot be used to service requests of any other user. This provides security benefits to users by preventing possible co-mingling of user resources. Alternatively, in some embodiments, multiple containers belonging to different users (or assigned to requests associated with different users) may co-exist on a single virtual machine instance. Such an approach may improve utilization of the available compute capacity.
In some embodiments, the virtual compute system 110 may maintain a separate cache in which user codes are stored to serve as an intermediate level of caching system between the local cache of the virtual machine instances and a web-based network storage (e.g., accessible via the network 104). The various scenarios that the worker manager 140 may encounter in servicing the request are described in greater detail below with reference to
After the user code has been executed, the worker manager 140 may tear down the container used to execute the user code to free up the resources it occupied to be used for other containers in the instance. Alternatively, the worker manager 140 may keep the container running to use it to service additional requests from the same user. For example, if another request associated with the same user code that has already been loaded in the container, the request can be assigned to the same container, thereby eliminating the delay associated with creating a new container and loading the user code in the container. In some embodiments, the worker manager 140 may tear down the instance in which the container used to execute the user code was created. Alternatively, the worker manager 140 may keep the instance running to use it to service additional requests from the same user. The determination of whether to keep the container and/or the instance running after the user code is done executing may be based on a threshold time, the type of the user, average request volume of the user, and/or other operating conditions. For example, after a threshold time has passed (e.g., 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours, 30 days, etc.) without any activity (e.g., running of the code), the container and/or the virtual machine instance is shutdown (e.g., deleted, terminated, etc.), and resources allocated thereto are released. In some embodiments, the threshold time passed before a container is torn down is shorter than the threshold time passed before an instance is torn down.
In some embodiments, the virtual compute system 110 may provide data to one or more of the auxiliary services 106 as it services incoming code execution requests. For example, the virtual compute system 110 may communicate with the monitoring/logging/billing services 107. The monitoring/logging/billing services 107 may include: a monitoring service for managing monitoring information received from the virtual compute system 110, such as statuses of containers and instances on the virtual compute system 110; a logging service for managing logging information received from the virtual compute system 110, such as activities performed by containers and instances on the virtual compute system 110; and a billing service for generating billing information associated with executing user code on the virtual compute system 110 (e.g., based on the monitoring information and/or the logging information managed by the monitoring service and the logging service). In addition to the system-level activities that may be performed by the monitoring/logging/billing services 107 (e.g., on behalf of the virtual compute system 110) as described above, the monitoring/logging/billing services 107 may provide application-level services on behalf of the user code executed on the virtual compute system 110. For example, the monitoring/logging/billing services 107 may monitor and/or log various inputs, outputs, or other data and parameters on behalf of the user code being executed on the virtual compute system 110. Although shown as a single block, the monitoring, logging, and billing services 107 may be provided as separate services.
In some embodiments, the worker manager 140 may perform health checks on the instances and containers managed by the worker manager 140 (e.g., those in the active pool 140A). For example, the health checks performed by the worker manager 140 may include determining whether the instances and the containers managed by the worker manager 140 have any issues of (1) misconfigured networking and/or startup configuration, (2) exhausted memory, (3) corrupted file system, (4) incompatible kernel, and/or any other problems that may impair the performance of the instances and the containers. In one embodiment, the worker manager 140 performs the health checks periodically (e.g., every 5 minutes, every 30 minutes, every hour, every 24 hours, etc.). In some embodiments, the frequency of the health checks may be adjusted automatically based on the result of the health checks. In other embodiments, the frequency of the health checks may be adjusted based on user requests. In some embodiments, the worker manager 140 may perform similar health checks on the instances and/or containers in the warming pool 130A. The instances and/or the containers in the warming pool 130A may be managed either together with those instances and containers in the active pool 140A or separately. In some embodiments, in the case where the health of the instances and/or the containers in the warming pool 130A is managed separately from the active pool 140A, the warming pool manager 130, instead of the worker manager 140, may perform the health checks described above on the instances and/or the containers in the warming pool 130A.
In some embodiments, the virtual compute system 110 is adapted to begin execution of the user code shortly after it is received (e.g., by the frontend 120). A time period can be determined as the difference in time between initiating execution of the user code (e.g., in a container on a virtual machine instance associated with the user) and receiving a request to execute the user code (e.g., received by a frontend). Another time period can be determined as the difference in time between (1) detection of an event on an event-triggering service and (2a) receiving a request to execute the user code (e.g., received by a frontend) and/or (2b) initiating execution of the user code (e.g., in a container on a virtual machine instance associated with the user). Another time period can be determined as the difference in time between (1) retrieving, accessing, or receiving an event message (e.g., directly or indirectly from on an event-triggering service) and (2) initiating processing of a request to execute the user code (e.g., in a container on a virtual machine instance associated with the user). The virtual compute system 110 is adapted to begin execution of the user code within a time period that is less than a predetermined duration. In one embodiment, the predetermined duration is 500 ms. In another embodiment, the predetermined duration is 300 ms. In another embodiment, the predetermined duration is 100 ms. In another embodiment, the predetermined duration is 50 ms. In another embodiment, the predetermined duration is 10 ms. In another embodiment, the predetermined duration may be any value chosen from the range of 10 ms to 500 ms. In some embodiments, the virtual compute system 110 is adapted to begin execution of the user code within a time period that is less than a predetermined duration if one or more conditions are satisfied. For example, the one or more conditions may include any one of: (1) the user code is loaded on a container in the active pool 140A at the time the request is received; (2) the user code is stored in the code cache of an instance in the active pool 140A at the time the request is received; (3) the active pool 140A contains an instance assigned to the user associated with the request at the time the request is received; or (4) the warming pool 130A has capacity to handle the request at the time the request is received.
The worker manager 140 may include an instance allocation unit for finding compute capacity (e.g., containers) to service incoming code execution requests and a user code execution module for facilitating the execution of user codes on those containers. An example configuration of the frontend 120 is described in greater detail below with reference to
The memory 180 may contain computer program instructions (grouped as modules in some embodiments) that the processing unit 190 executes in order to implement one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The memory 180 generally includes RAM, ROM and/or other persistent, auxiliary or non-transitory computer-readable media. The memory 180 may store an operating system 184 that provides computer program instructions for use by the processing unit 190 in the general administration and operation of the worker manager 140. The memory 180 may further include computer program instructions and other information for implementing aspects of the present disclosure. For example, in one embodiment, the memory 180 includes a user interface unit 182 that generates user interfaces (and/or instructions therefor) for display upon a computing device, e.g., via a navigation and/or browsing interface such as a browser or application installed on the computing device. In addition, the memory 180 may include and/or communicate with one or more data repositories (not shown), for example, to access user program codes and/or libraries.
In addition to and/or in combination with the user interface unit 182, the memory 180 may include an event/request processing unit 188 which may include an event message polling unit 186A and an event message conversion unit 186B that may be executed by the processing unit 190. In one embodiment, the user interface unit 182, the event message polling unit 186A, and the event message conversion unit 186B individually or collectively implement various aspects of the present disclosure, e.g., processing an event message for a request to executed user code, as described herein. In another embodiment, a separate polling service may be implemented, for example via a polling fleet configured to poll an event source or a message queue and perform at least an initial message conversion or processing to prepare the event message for further processing by the frontend 120 and/or another component of the virtual compute system 100.
The event message polling unit 186A periodically polls for event messages to be processed into requests to execute user code. For example, the event message polling unit 186A may periodically access a message queue, such as the message queue service 105 or any other message queue service or message bus, to determine or detect whether an event message has been placed in the message queue for processing by the virtual compute system 110. An event message may be placed in the message queue according to, for example, the routine described herein with reference to
The event message conversion unit 186B manages the conversion of the event message (e.g., as accessed or retrieved from a message queue such as the message queue 105) into a request to execute user code (e.g., ready for further processing in accordance with the processes described in U.S. application Ser. No. 14/502,992, titled “THREADING AS A SERVICE,” filed on Sep. 30, 2014, which was previously incorporated by reference in its entirety above). Conversion of the event message is described in more detail with reference to
While the event message polling unit 186A and the event message conversion unit 186B are shown in
Turning now to
At block 302 of the illustrative routine 300, the event triggering service 106A detects an event or activity that has been designated to trigger or activate execution of a user code on the virtual compute system 110. For example, in some embodiments the event triggering service 106A may be configured to enable or activate event notifications for one or more events. In one embodiment the event trigger and notification configuration settings may be provided or specified by a user. For example, when the user provides or uploads user code to the virtual compute system 110 and/or to the storage service 108, the user may at that time specify one or more events for which the event triggering service 106A should listen, and which corresponding functions or routines of the user code are to be executed in response to detection of the one or more events. As one illustrative example, a user may upload (or have previously uploaded or otherwise provided to the virtual compute system 110) a user code to generate a thumbnail image, and further specify that the code to generate a thumbnail image is to be executed in response to an end user uploading a new image to an auxiliary system (such as an image sharing system). In this example the image sharing system will then monitor or detect an image upload event. In some embodiments the event trigger and notification configuration settings may be provided or specified by a configuration file or other data format that may be provided, for example, with the user code. In various embodiments, the user uploading the user code and the end user performing some other action with respect to the auxiliary service configured as an event-triggering service (such as uploading a new image) may be separate and distinct users or entities.
Next, at block 304, the event triggering service 106A generates an event message in association with the detected activity/event. For example, the event triggering service 106A may generate the event message according to the event trigger and notification configuration settings previously provided by the user. The configuration settings can specify, for example, a schema, a code model, or an API associated with the user code to be executed by the virtual compute system in response to the event being triggered. For example the event message may be generated to comprise, among other things, a user account identifier associated with the user, a function identifier to identify a function to be invoked on the virtual compute system, and one or more event message parameters including any input parameters (required and/or optional) to be provided with the function invocation.
In some embodiments, the event message may include data or metadata that indicates the program code to be executed, the language in which the program code is written, the user associated with the request, and/or the computing resources (e.g., memory, etc.) to be reserved for executing the program code. For example, the event message may specify that the user code is to be executed on “Operating System A” using “Language Runtime X.” When the event message is processed by the virtual compute system 110 (see, e.g.,
In one embodiment the format of the event message (or at least a portion of the event message) may represent a standard remote procedure call such that the event triggering service 106A may only need to perform minimal processing to provide relevant information in the event message that may be needed to invoke the function on the virtual compute system. For example, such a standard remote procedure call format may enable an auxiliary system 106 which runs a different operating system or language runtime than the virtual compute system 110 to seamlessly communicate with the virtual compute system 110 via the event message generated in such a standard format. In one embodiment the format of the remote procedure call may be provided by the user and designed to match or correspond to the user code to be executed. For example, when an image upload event is detected, the format of the event message may represent a remote procedure call to a function to be executed in response on the virtual compute system, such as “invoke (generateThumbnail, userID, imageName, imagePath)”, or “generateThumbnail (userID, imageName, imagePath),” or similar.
In some embodiments, such as certain instances where a trusted or secure relationship is established between the event triggering service 106A and the virtual compute system 110, the event message may further comprise the user code to be executed by the virtual compute system 110. For example, the user may provide the user code to the event triggering service 106A instead of or in addition to providing the user code to the virtual compute system 110, and further designate that the user code is to be provided with the event message to the virtual compute system 110 for execution at runtime. In another embodiment, the event message may comprise a location (such as a URI) of the user code to be executed by the virtual compute system 110, such that the virtual compute system 110 can remotely invoke the user code via the URI.
At block 306, the event triggering service 106A provides the event message for further processing by the virtual compute system. For example, in one embodiment the event message is provided to a message queue, such as the message queue 105. The message queue service 105 may be a component of the auxiliary system 106 (e.g., as shown in
While the routine 300 of
Turning now to
At block 402 of the illustrative routine 400, the frontend 120 may optionally periodically poll a message queue (e.g., message queue 105) for an event message which may represent a request to execute user code. For example, the block 402 may continue the event messaging process from the block 306 of
Next, at block 404, the frontend 120 accesses or retrieves an event message for processing by the virtual compute system 110. In one embodiment, the event message is accessed or retrieved from the message queue. Retrieval of the event message removes the event message from the message queue to prevent duplication of further processing associated with the event. In another embodiment, the event message may be accessed or retrieved from the event triggering service directly, such as by invocation of an API provided by the event trigger service by which the frontend 120 can request and receive event messages ready for processing by the virtual compute system 110. The event message can include or comprise any of the information and metadata described above with reference to
At block 406, the frontend 120 converts the event message into a request to execute user code, such that the request to execute user code may be further processed by the virtual compute system 110 (including, for example, as described in U.S. application Ser. No. 14/502,992, titled “THREADING AS A SERVICE,” filed on Sep. 30, 2014, which was previously incorporated by reference in its entirety above). Conversion of the event message may involve parsing the event message to identify and/or extract the function identifier, any input parameters, and other metadata that may be needed to generate a request to execute the user code which was designated by the user to be executed in response to the event trigger. For example, the event message may include or comprise at least one or more of the following: information related to an event payload (e.g., event data), which may conform to a known or defined schema or other format; an event wrapper or “envelope” provided, for example, by the event message bus or by the event-triggering service (for example, which may part of an implicit lease on the event message provided by the message queue service); and/or event metadata associated with the event, including an identity for which the event message was signed, an identity of the event producer or source of the event trigger (for example, which event-triggering service triggered the event), a name or owner of the message queue on which the event message was transported; and so on.
As described with reference to
At block 408, the frontend 120 may optionally verify security access and/or authenticate the user associated with a user account identifier provided with the event message and determine that the user is authorized to access the specified user code. In some embodiments the security and/or authentication may be omitted or performed in a separate process or as part of the processing of the request to execute the user code. In some embodiments the security and/or authentication may be performed earlier in the routine 400, such as prior to the conversion performed at block 406.
At block 410, the frontend 120 provides the request to execute the user code to the virtual compute system 110. In certain embodiments the frontend 120 itself may perform further processing of the request, for example as described in U.S. application Ser. No. 14/502,992, titled “THREADING AS A SERVICE,” filed on Sep. 30, 2014, which was previously incorporated by reference in its entirety above. The request can include a program code composed in a programming language. Various program languages including Java, PHP, C++, Python, etc. can be used to compose the user code. The request can include configuration information relating to code-execution requirements. For example, the request can include information about program language in which the program code is written, information about language runtime and/or language library to execute the user code. The configuration information need not include any specific information regarding the virtual machine instance that can host the user code.
While the routine 400 of
The routine 400 of
During processing of the request to execute user code the frontend 120 may continue to perform additional processes to facilitate processing of the event message or payload. For example, if the original event message or payload comprised an aggregate collection of one or more sub-events, each sub-event may be relayed to the virtual compute system 110 for execution via the user code one at a time. The frontend 120 may be configured to manage splitting the original, aggregate event message payload into multiple single events. The frontend 120 may also be configured to, for example, facilitate intermediate or aggregate checkpoint services which may be required as part of processing of the original event message. For example, an aggregate event message comprising multiple events may require some of first events to be processed and completed first before later, second or tertiary events; in this case the frontend 120 may be further configured to facilitate processing of the first events, check for status of completion of the first events before routing the later, second or tertiary events for processing/execution by the virtual compute system.
After processing/execution of the user code for an event message, the frontend 120 may be further configured to provide additional post-processing. For example, the frontend 120 may perform certain cleanup operations (for example, releasing a lease on the associated event message/wrapper), perform result calculations, provide return values (if needed), perform checkpoint operations (which, for example, as described above, may occur during processing or in between processing of sub-events related to an aggregate event message), and so on. In some embodiments, the frontend 120 may perform logging, monitoring, alarming/notifications, and/or other reporting associated with the completion (successful or unsuccessful) of the event on behalf of the user program. In some cases such logging, monitoring, and so on may be performed in addition to any logging, monitoring, and related processes performed during execution of the user code itself. For example, the frontend 120 may be configured to report on the outcome of the event (and related execution of user code in response to the event), for example back to the event-triggering service 106A or to the user.
