An antenna and method for using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an antenna comprises a radial waveguide; an aperture operable to radiate radio frequency (RF) signals in response to an RF feed wave fed by the radial waveguide; and a radio frequency (RF) choke operable to block RF energy from exiting through a gap between outer portions of the waveguide and the aperture.

A method of assembling an antenna aperture from a plurality of antenna aperture segments is described. The method may include placing a first aperture segment relative to a second aperture segment to partially form the antenna aperture. Furthermore, an overlap of the first aperture segment overlaps a complementary underlap of the second aperture segment at a seam. The method may also include joining the overlap of the first aperture segment to the underlap of the second aperture segment to partially form the antenna aperture.

The present disclosure relates to a distributed disk image deployment during virtual machine instance creation, and to deploying a virtual machine instances based on disk image locality. On example method includes receiving, at a first computing node, a request to create a virtual machine instance, the request identifying a disk image to be associated with the virtual machine instance; determining a set of computing nodes from which to transfer the disk image on a locality of the first computing node to each computing node in the set of computing nodes, generating a set of requests for a plurality of portions of the disk image, sending at least one request from the set of requests to each computing node in the set of computing nodes; and receiving, from at least one of the set of computing nodes, one or more portions of the disk image.

Distributed virtual machine disk image deployment

The present disclosure relates to a distributed disk image deployment during virtual machine instance creation, and to deploying a virtual machine instances based on disk image locality. On example method includes receiving a request to create a virtual machine instance identifying a disk image; determining one or more storage devices storing the disk image; determining a distance measurement between each of a plurality of computing nodes and the one or more storage devices storing the disk image; selecting a computing node on which to create the virtual machine instance based on a locality of the computing node to a storage device from the one or more storage devices storing the disk image, the locality including the distance measurement between the computing node and the storage device; and creating the virtual machine instance on the computing node using the disk image from the storage device.
