    摘要: An instance service of a computing resource service provider may provide computing system instances to customers of the computing resource service provider. The computing system instances may be used by the customer to execute various customer workloads. Furthermore, the computing system instances may include an instance type indicating an amount of computing resources allocated to computing system instance of the instance type. The instance service may obtain requirement and/or constraints associated with the workload and determine a configuration of instance types to include in a set of instances configured to execute the customer workload.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A virtual computer system service receives a request from a customer to instantiate a virtual machine instance onto a computing device. The virtual computer system service obtains a set of preferences from the request that can be used for selecting the computing device from a variety of data zones. The virtual computer system service identifies one or more data zones where virtual machine instances of the customer are operating. Based on the set of preferences and the one or more data zones where the virtual machine instances are operating, the virtual computer system service selects a data zone where the virtual machine instance can be instantiated. The virtual computer system service uses a computing device in the selected data zone to instantiate the virtual machine instance.

    摘要: Systems and methods permit customers of a service provider network to specify various constraints on a desired fleet of virtual machine instances without having to specify the hardware types of instances to be included in the fleet. Instead, the customer can specify per-instance hardware constraints (number of CPUs, amount of memory, etc.) and job constraints (e.g., deadline, budget, application type, etc.). A provisioning service accesses an internal database containing instance cost data, instance availability data, and mappings between application type and fleet configurations to propose a fleet of instances that complies with the customer-specified per-instance hardware and job constraints, thereby freeing the customer from having to be conversant in the particular instances offered by the service provider.
