    Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to an instance resource oversubscription service for scheduling a burst period for a running virtual machine instance based on a time window specified by a user of the virtual machine instance. For example, the instance resource oversubscription service can predict future resource usage and identify the appropriate timing and physical host machine for letting the user burst (e.g., temporarily use the virtual machine instance in a manner than consumes a higher amount of computing resources such as CPU cycles, memory, network bandwidth, etc.). In doing so, the instance resource oversubscription service may consider, for example, the historical and current resource utilization levels of the virtual machine instances running on a set of available physical host machines and the burst period scheduling requests from other users of the instance resource oversubscription service.

    Abstract: Techniques for managing the migration of virtual machine instances are described herein. A migration of a first virtual machine instance is started by preparing an appropriate target location to receive the first virtual machine instance. Next, a second virtual machine instance at the target location is enabled by first copying state information from the first virtual machine instance to the second virtual machine instance, by next creating connections between the second virtual machine instance and resources associated with the first virtual machine instance, and by finally starting packet forwarding between the two virtual machine instances. Finally, the first virtual machine instance is locked, the copy is finalized, and the second virtual machine instance is started.

    Abstract: Techniques for configurable compute instance resets are described. A user can issue a request to securely reset one or more compute instances implemented within a service provider system. Each compute instance is reset to a previous point in time, such that any activity of the compute instance or effects thereof occurring since that point in time are completely eliminated. Each compute instance reset can include removing an existing volume of the compute instance, obtaining a volume, attaching the obtained volume to the compute instance, and rebooting the compute instance. Configuration data of the compute instance, such as an instance identifier or network addresses, can be maintained after the reset.

    Abstract: A component of a computing service obtains respective indications of placement policies that contain host selection rules for application execution environments such as guest virtual machines. With respect to a request for a particular application execution environment, a group of applicable placement policies is identified. A candidate pool of hosts is selected using the group of placement policies, and members of the pool are ranked to identify a particular host on which the requested application execution environment is instantiated.
