Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for a game-hosting service of a service provider network to dynamically determine a number of processes that are permitted to concurrently execute on an instance based on health values that indicate performances of the processes running on the instance. The game-hosting service may periodically or continuously receive health values from the instance, or multiple instances in a fleet of instances, and determine whether additional processes may be permitted to run, or if less processes may be permitted to run, on the instance based on the performance of the processes that are concurrently running on the instance. In this way, instances may dynamically be permitted to concurrently execute additional processes, or less processes, to help ensure that computing resources are being efficiently utilized, but also while maintaining acceptable performance for processes (e.g., game sessions) that are hosted on the instances.

Abstract: New application sessions can be placed on reclaimable resource capacity that can be provided at lower cost than dedicated capacity, but with risk that the capacity might be reclaimed before completion of the session. A number of instance types can be determined that are capable of hosting a new session. Risk scores can be calculated for the instance types, as well as the cost of instances of each type. An instance type can be selected for the session using the risk scores and cost information, where the instance type will have relatively low risk with a relatively low cost for the instance. Once an instance type is selected, a resource pool can be selected from which to provide the resource instance of the selected type. The instance can then be allocated and caused to host the session or perform related functionality.
