    Abstract: A task pool may be created and maintained, in association with a container management service, which stores a snapshot of a one or more tasks, the performance of which is suspended or paused. Tasks may be defined as applications executable in one or more software containers instantiated on a virtual machine or compute instance, where the snapshot of a task may include an image of the one or more containers associated with the task container and state information of the one or more containers. A task may be initially provisioned in a paused state or paused after executing at least a portion of the task. Paused tasks in the task pool may be readily restarted or resumed by loading the snapshot onto a compute instance. The task pool may manage provisioning new tasks and pause tasks based on changes in demand.
