Placement to optimize heterogeneous physical host utilization

Abstract:

Techniques for managing resource utilization across heterogeneous physical hosts are described. Resource utilization of a first plurality of physical hosts in a provider network may be monitored, each physical host comprising a plurality of resources. A future resource utilization can be determined, the future resource utilization including quantities of a plurality of resource types. The future resource utilization can be matched to a plurality of physical host types, each physical host type associated with a different plurality of resources. A second plurality of physical hosts corresponding to the plurality of physical host types can be deployed to the provider network.
