A vehicle interior component providing a user interface for an occupant is disclosed. The component may comprise a base; a cover comprising a surface; an intermediate layer comprising a foam material; and a sensor to detect an electrical signal in response to input at the user interface, contact at the surface of the cover, or compression of the foam material. The foam material may comprise electrical properties, conductivity, resistance, compression-responsive electrical properties, or variation in voltage. The foam material may comprise an additive, an additive material, a conductive material, a conductive additive, conductive particles, carbon particles, carbon black particles, carbon dust, carbon particles in a substrate, or carbon particles interspersed with a non-conductive substrate. The foam material may comprise foam with conductive particles, carbon foam, carbon additive foam, polyurethane foam, or polyurethane with carbon particles. The cover may comprise a non-conductive material, leather, vinyl, textile, or fabric.

Aspects relate to a framework for utilizing a single API request to manage the creation of consistent snapshots for a set of volumes attached an individual instance in a distributed computing environment. Responsive to receipt of an API request identifying the instance, the multi-volume snapshot service identifies a set of volumes attached to the identified instance. The identified set of volumes can be processed or filtered to eliminate specific volumes or types of volumes, such as boot volumes. In the event that any snapshot creation attempt fails, the multi-volume snapshot service fails the API request and can delete any snapshot data generated prior to the failure.

Crash-consistent multi-volume backup generation

Systems and methods are provided to implement a metadata record migration system that schedules the migrations of metadata records that are frequently mutated. In embodiments, the scheduler collects timing data of jobs that modify the metadata records, including the timing of various mutation operations within the jobs. In embodiments, when it is determined that a metadata record is to be migrated to a different storage location, the scheduler determines a time to migrate the metadata record. The migration time may lie within a migration window, selected based on an expected migration time needed for the metadata record and the collected time data in order to reduce a probability that record mutations will occur during the migration. In embodiments, the jobs may be snapshot jobs that modify a snapshot record, and the migration may be performed as a result of a cell partitioning operation occurring within the snapshotting system.

Migration scheduling for fast-mutating metadata records

A database management system provisions a database server that replicates assignments of resource identifiers to resources that are managed by another database server. Based at least in part on assignment of existing sets of identifiers to other database servers, the database management system identifies a set of identifiers that is distinct from these existing sets and assigns this set of identifiers to the provisioned database server. If the database management system detects an event that causes the database server to lose its ability to receive these assignments of identifiers from the other server, the database management system enables the database server to assign identifiers from its assigned set of identifiers.

Resource identifier allocation during network partitions

A user interface system for a vehicle interior includes a contact surface, a sensor grid and a controller. The sensor grid is configured for variable electrical resistance in response to applied pressure and the controller is configured to detect the electrical resistance of the sensor grid by monitoring a voltage. The controller detects the location of an input from a vehicle occupant, the intensity of the input, and the duration of the input.

Vehicle interior component with user interface

A system partitions a graph representation of relationships between block devices and associated snapshots into a plurality of cells to more evenly distribute computing resource usage attributable to the block devices and snapshots. The relationships may be analyzed to determine resource usage associated with the block devices and/or the snapshots wherein the resource usage corresponds to a mutation operation rate or number of mutation operations performed (or scheduled for performance). As a result of determining that the resource usage for a given cell exceeds a predetermined threshold for resource usage, the cell may be partitioned into a plurality of cells, and a portion of the corresponding block device(s), and subsequent snapshot(s) generated therefrom, may be assigned to the new cell.

Representation-based partitioning of distributed computing environments

A router of a block-level data storage service receives a request to generate a snapshot of a block device. The router, based on routing metadata for the block-level data storage service, identifies active metadata that indicates a first cell that may maintain the block device and alternate metadata that indicates a second cell that may maintain the block device. Based on a first state of the block device in the first cell, a second state of the block device in the second cell, and a predetermined set of rules defining operations corresponding to outcomes associated with the first state and the second state, the router determines which of the first cell and the second cell authoritatively maintains the block device. The router transmits the request to the appropriate cell in accordance with the predetermined set of rules.
