US Patent 10362110 Deployment of client data compute kernels in cloud

A data storage service includes a client data compute kernel manager that receives and registers a client data compute kernel in a client kernel repository. The client data compute kernel may be a custom data compute kernel that is received from a client. The data storage service includes a client request handler that receives data access requests to a client data store. The client request handler may determine that a data access request is associated with the client data compute kernel. The client request handler may then deploy the client data compute kernel to one or more selected storage servers, and then forward the data access request to the client data compute kernel. A storage server may execute a storage service engine of the data storage service in one execution container on the storage server and the client data compute kernel on a second execution container on the storage server.
