Abstract: A computing resource service provider provides computing resources to customers, for example, computer system instances supported by server computer systems. These computer system instances may include logical volumes to support execution of the computer system instance. In addition, these instances may be terminated from time to time for various reasons. A stop signal transmitted to computing resource supporting a particular computer system instance may indicate that the particular computer system instance is to be terminated. In response to termination, the particular computer system instance may operate in accordance to a particular behavior.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for allocating instances in a service provider network. In an example embodiment, a resource manager provides a number of allocation strategies for determining which instances to assign to a client. The resource manager applies a client selected one of the allocation strategies to assign instances to the client. One of the allocation strategies includes determining for each of a plurality of pools of resource instances, an estimate of time that a unit cost of each of the number of resource instances in the pool will be no more than a maximum unit cost specified by the client. The instances are assigned to the client while the unit cost of the instances is less than a client specified amount.

Abstract: Systems and methods permit customers to purchase resource instances on a spot purchasing mode basis, which permits a customer to specify a maximum price that the customer is willing to pay for one or more resource instances (e.g., virtual machine instances running on physical servers). Further, the resource instances purchased under the spot purchasing mode can be guaranteed to run for at least a specified period of time, even if the current variable spot cost value is exceeds the original bid price. Such instances run for defined blocks of time which may be selectable by the customer, thereby providing the customer some level of assurance that the instances will not terminate prematurely due to spot cost value fluctuations. Instances are assigned into a spot block instance pool from other types of pool based on the estimated excess capacity of such other types of pools. The estimate of excess capacity is based on statistical analysis of the usage of the instances.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for activating multiple interruptible resource instances on servers of a service provider environment. In an example embodiment, a system can activate multiple interruptible resource instances on behalf of a given customer based on a comparison of a bid cost value from the customer to the current, but variable cost value of the interruptible resource instances. The customer also can specify a value indicative of the number of interruptible resource instances to be activated on behalf of the customer based on the bid cost value.

Abstract: A method for launching a plurality of computing instances may include obtaining a request to launch a plurality of computing instances. The request may indicate a first number and a target number of compute instances that is larger than the first number. The method may further include verifying that there is sufficient capacity, for example of a compute instance service, to launch at least the first number of compute instances. The request may be fulfilled by at least launching at least the first number of compute instances in a way that bypasses a rate limit that limits a rate at which compute instances can be launched. In some cases, the method may additionally include launching additional compute instances, as they become available, until the target number has been reached.

Abstract: A computing resource service provider may provide customer with access to computing resources which may be utilized by the customer to execute a variety of applications and/or tasks. A provisioning service of the computing resource service provider may obtain application information from the customer and determine a set of computing resource configurations suitable for executing the customer's application based at least in part on the application information obtained from the customer. The customer may select a particular computing resource configuration to execute the customer application.
