On demand capacity management in provider networks using type-agnostic resources

Abstract:

Techniques for on demand capacity management in a provider network are described. The provider network includes electronic devices that provide computing-related resources to customers. The unused capacity of these electronic devices--such as processor cores, memory, network bandwidth, etc.--can be used to satisfy a variety of computing needs. Services of the provider network allocate portions of the unused capacity based on customer requests for computing-related resources.
