Abstract
Methods and apparatus for resource silos at network-accessible services are disclosed. A subset of resources used for a database service, including at least one resource from each of a plurality of data centers, is selected for membership in a resource silo based on grouping criteria. A silo routing layer node identifies the resource silo as the target silo to which a client work request is to be directed. The client work request is sent to a front-end resource of the target silo either by the client, or by the silo routing layer node on behalf of the client. The front-end resource of the target silo transmits a representation of the work request to a back-end resource of the target silo, where a work operation corresponding to request is performed.
