A networking manager of an extension server of a virtualized computing service detects that a data link layer frame has been obtained at the extension server. The networking manager delivers at least a portion of contents of the frame to a compute instance running at the extension server in response to determining that a destination media access control (MAC) address of the frame matches a MAC address of a local-premise-access virtual network interface attached to the compute instance. The local-premise-access virtual network interface is not assigned an Internet Protocol (IP) address from a range of IP addresses managed by the virtualized computing service.

A network device, such as a Network Interface Card (NIC), can have a receive queue (RxQ) that changes size based on whether the network device is in a normal operating mode or in a maintenance mode. In a normal operating mode, it is desirable that the receive queue has a smaller number of free buffers, to increase cache locality in a processor subsystem. However, there can be known periods when the receive queue can be overloaded. During a maintenance period, it is desirable that the receive queue absorbs a large burst of network packets while the processor subsystem is not processing the packets. A solution is to maintain a receive queue at a smaller percentage of its maximum during the normal operation mode, but then before or upon entering the maintenance mode, expand the receive queue to a larger size.

A cache or other cluster is configuration-aware such that initialization and changes to the underlying structure of the cluster can be dynamically updated for use by a client. A client may use a client driver as an intermediary that is responsible for managing the communication with the cluster. For example, a client driver may resolve an alias from a static configuration endpoint to a storage node. The client driver may request an initial configuration from the storage node and then update configuration from one or more storage nodes that store current configuration of the cluster.

Distributed caching cluster client configuration

Techniques for updating code of a device may be described. In an example, bus may connect the device to a management entity. The device may run a first version of the code. A second version of the code may be available from memory. The device may access the second version from the memory, stop running the first version of the code, and start running the second version of the code without restarting the management entity or the device.

Updating device code through a bus

A management system may enable and monitor a cache or other cluster to make the cluster configuration-aware such that initialization and changes to the underlying structure of the cluster can be dynamically updated. For example, a distributed memory caching system may provide initial configuration to a client from a memory caching node referenced by an alias provided by a configuration endpoint. Updates of configuration may be retrieved from memory caching nodes, each storing current configuration of the cache cluster. A management system monitors changes to the cache cluster, such as provisioning of new caching nodes, and updates the configuration stored in the caching nodes for retrieval by a client.

Distributed caching cluster management

A cache or other cluster is configuration-aware such that initialization and changes to the underlying structure of the cluster can be dynamically updated. For example, a client may resolve an alias from a static configuration endpoint to a node in a cluster. The client may request initial configuration from the node and then update configuration from nodes that store the current configuration of the cluster.

Distributed caching cluster configuration

A cache cluster is configuration-aware such that client initialization, access to replicated cached data and changes to the underlying structure of the cache cluster can be dynamically updated. For example, a management system monitoring a cache cluster notices a large number of requests for a key that causes a significant load on a first memory caching node. To reduce the load on the first memory caching node, the management system may cause cached data related to the key to be replicated to a second memory caching node. A configuration stored in one or more of the memory caching nodes may be updated by the management system to allow both memory caching nodes to serve the requests for the key to clients.
