摘要： Methods and apparatus for dynamic pricing and scheduling of network data transfers are disclosed. A system a plurality of network-accessible resources and a data transfer coordinator. In response to a client request for a network transfer of a data set, the coordinator determines, based at on a network-related metric of one or more resources, at least one time window during which a portion or all of the data set is transferable for a pricing rate below a threshold. The coordinator notifies the client of the time window and provides a duration-limited token authorizing data transfer during the window. The coordinator determines whether a network transmission of data on behalf of the client is valid based at least in part on a time at which the transmission is initiated and at least in part on a use of the token.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for notification-based pricing of excess cloud capacity are disclosed. A system includes a resource manager and a plurality of resource instances, each of which has an interruptibility setting. In response to a first acquisition request, the resource manager allocates a first instance with a first interruptibility setting to a first client, allowing the resource manager to revoke the first client's access to the first instance without a notification. In response to an approval of a second acquisition request, the resource manager allocates a second instance with a second interruptibility setting to a second client, allowing the client to retain access to the instance for a delay interval after the second client receives an access revocation notification. Respective billing amounts for the clients' use of the instances are determined based on the interruptibility settings used.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for supporting instance ordering selection policies (ISOPs) for network-accessible resources are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of resource instances of a provider network, and a resource manager. The resource manager assigns an ISOP to be used to respond to instance acquisition requests of a specified type from a particular client. In response to a request of the specified type from the client, the resource manager determines, based at least in part on the ISOP, an order in which a plurality of resource groups (such as a set of instances reservations of the client, or an instance marketplace accessible to multiple clients) is to be examined to obtain an instance for the client. Starting with a first resource group, the resource manager examines each resource group until an instance matching instance selection criteria specified in the request is found.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for dynamic pricing of cloud resources for stateful applications are disclosed. A system includes a resource manager and a plurality of execution platforms. The resource manager stores client-provided application packages in a repository, where each package includes an executable object and has an associated pricing constraint. The resource manager selects a particular execution platform on which to schedule execution of the executable object of a particular application package, based at least in part on a current pricing of execution units of the particular execution platform and the pricing constraint of the application package. In response to a price-based interruption event, a representation of a state of the application is saved, and the execution of the application on the particular execution platform is stopped.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for capacity management of draining-state platforms providing network-accessible resources are disclosed. A system includes computing platforms configurable to host a plurality of resource instances, and a resource manager. The resource manager determines that a particular computing platform is in a draining state, wherein, in accordance with its designation as being in the draining state, the particular platform is currently hosting at least one uninterruptible resource instance and is temporarily unavailable to launch additional uninterruptible resource instances. In response to (a) a determination that the particular computing platform in the draining state has sufficient available computing capacity for at least one resource instance and (b) an instance activation request from a client, the resource manager launches an interruptible resource instance on the particular computing platform.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for a cloud resource marketplace for third-party capacity are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of resources of a primary network, and a resource manager. The resource manager implements a reservation interface allowing a client to select and reserve resources of the primary network. In response to a resell request from a third-party resource provider, requesting advertisement of the availability of a third-party resource via the reservation interface, the resource manager may determine whether to resell the third-party resource based on one or more acceptance criteria. In response to determining to resell the third-party resource, the resource manager may indicate, via the reservation interface, a pricing policy associated with the third-party resource, an interruptibility setting of the third-party resource, and a level of compatibility of the third-party resource with a control interface implemented to allow clients to perform operations on resources of the primary network.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for a job resource planner for cloud computing environments are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of resource instances of a provider network, and a resource planner. The planner receives a plan request from a client, comprising a job goal and an indication of a resource acquisition policy to be used to obtain resource instances for the job. The policy specifies one or more instance data sources. The planner generates a resource acquisition plan for the job, based at least in part on an analysis of pricing data obtained from a specified data source. The analysis comprises one or more computation steps indicated in the policy. The generated plan includes at least one recommended acquisition price for a resource instance.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for flexible capacity pool reservations for network-accessible resources are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of resources of a provider network, and a resource manager. The resource manager receives a reservation modification request from a client that has an existing reservation for an original resource capacity and an original reservation duration. The modification request specifies a desired resource capacity. The reservation manager identifies resources to provide the desired capacity, and determines pricing components for the requested modification based on the difference between the desires resource capacity and the original capacity and on the remaining portion of the duration of the existing reservation. The resource manager modifies the reservation as requested and notifies the client regarding the pricing components.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for managing user-defined capacity reservation pools for network-accessible resources are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of resource instances of a provider network, and a resource manager. In response to a pool assignment request from a client specifying a pool identifier of a reserved instance pool created on behalf of the client, the resource manager assigns one or more resource instance reservations of the client to a pool with the first pool identifier. In response to an instance activation request from the client, the resource manager identifies a particular pool created on behalf of the client from which to select a particular resource instance reservation for activation, and activates the particular resource instance.
