    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for enabling a user to provide rules for the placement of computing resources at a data center for an entity that employs or is associated with the user. The data center can use the placement rules to select a data center computer system to host computing resources for a user. The rules can be used to establish diversity in computing resource placement at the data center thereby reducing the number of users who lose access to computing resources when a specific data center computer suffers a failure. Further, the placement rules can be used to facilitate configuration of the computer resources for the user based, for example, on the user's employment responsibilities.

    Abstract: Users intending to launch instances or otherwise access virtual resources in a multi-tenant environment can specify a launch configuration. For each type of instance or each type of user, at least one launch configuration is created that includes parameters and values to be used in instantiating an instance of that type, the values being optimized for the current environment and type of instance. Launch configurations can be optimized for different types of users, such as to account for security credentials and access levels. Such an approach enables users to launch instances by contacting the resource provider directly without need for a proxy, which can function as a choke point under heavy load. The use of an appropriate launch configuration can be enforced for any type of user at any level, such as at the sub-net level, by modifying a request that does not specify an appropriate launch configuration.

    Abstract: Techniques for are described which enable users of a service provider network to manage local storage devices connected to computer systems of the service provider network as a service. A service provider network provides an application programming interface (API) that enables users to manage local storage devices in association with compute instances created by users using a hardware virtualization service of the service provider network. The API can be used to attach local storage devices to compute instances (that is, make local storage devices available for use as a block storage device), detach local storage devices from compute instances (that is, make local storage devices unavailable for use by a compute instance and possibly available for use by other compute instances on the same computer system), among other possible operations.
