Implementation resources are operated in a manner furthering a particular purpose while excluding use of the implementation resources for other purposes. At least some of the implementation resources have capacity that is usable to implement multiple other resources. The capacity of the implementation resources is allocated in a manner that satisfies one or more conditions on the capacity of the implementation resources that is used. Generally, the capacity is allocated in a manner that reduces the likelihood that resources initiated close in time will fail together should underlying implementation resources fail. The implementation resources may be hardware devices that implement virtual computer systems.

Resource allocation to reduce correlated failures

Techniques are described for providing clients with access to functionality for creating, configuring and executing defined workflows that manipulate source data in defined manners, such as under the control of a configurable workflow service that is available to multiple remote clients over one or more public networks. A defined workflow for a client may, for example, include multiple interconnected workflow components that are specified by the client and that each are configured to perform one or more types of data manipulation operations on a specified type of input data. The configurable workflow service may further execute the defined workflow at one or more times and in one or more manners, such as in some situations by provisioning multiple computing nodes provided by the configurable workflow service to each implement at least one of the workflow components for the defined workflow.

Providing configurable workflow capabilities

Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate playback of content via multiple display devices. Playback may be synchronized among multiple display devices and/or auxiliary content rendered by a companion device may be synchronized to playback of content by a primary device. A server device receives a request from a first client device to commence a playback of a content feature upon an identified second client device. The server device sends an instruction to the second client device to commence the playback of the content feature upon a display of the second client device in response to the request. Status updates regarding the playback may be provided to the first client device by the server device.
