Evaluating placement configurations for distributed resource placement

Abstract:

A distributed system may implement evaluating placement configurations for distributed resource placement. Placement requests for a partition of a distributed resource may be received. An evaluation of prospective placement configurations of the distributed resource is performed that locates the partition at different resource hosts. In some embodiments, placement configurations may be analyzed with respect to infrastructure zone locality. Multiple infrastructure zone localities may be analyzed and combined to evaluate prospective placement configurations. Prospective placement configurations may be analyzed with respect to other criteria, such as resource host utilization data. Based, at least in part, on the evaluation of the prospective placement, a resource host is identified for placing the partition.
