Pisces: Predictable Shared Cloud Storage• Pisces– Per-tenant max-min fair shares of system-

wide resources ~ min guarantees, high utilization

– Arbitrary object popularity– Different resource bottlenecks

• Amazon DynamoDB– Per-tenant provisioned rates

~ rate limited, non-work conserving– Uniform object popularity– Single resource (1kB requests)

Issues• RS < -- > consistency

– Turn off RS. Why does it not matter?• What happens to previous picture?• Translating SLAs to weights

– How are SLAs specified?• Overly complex mechanisms: weight swap and FAST-based replica

selection?• Why make it distributed?

– Paper argues configuration is not scalable, but requires server configuration for FQ anyway

• What happens in a congested network?• Assumes stable tenant workloads reasonable?• Is DynamoDB bad?

26

Pisces Summary• Pisces Contributions– Per-tenant weighted max-min fair shares of system-wide

resources w/ high utilization– Arbitrary object distributions – Different resource bottlenecks– Novel decomposition into 4 complementary mechanisms
