Techniques for host resource group sharing in a provider network are described. A resource share is made of a host resource group made up of dedicated hosts in the provider network. The share provides access to the host resource group of a primary account with one or more other principals—e.g., user accounts, an organization, or a group of users. The other principals can launch compute instances into the host resource group, which may cause the automatic provisioning of new hosts into the host resource group, of the primary account, as needed.

Shared dedicated host resource groups in a provider network

Techniques for automated defragmentation of licensed resources in a provider network are described. A defragmentation service in a provider network can detect the existence of intra-host fragmentation and/or inter-host fragmentation among host computing devices belonging to a host resource group of hosts dedicated to particular users. The defragmentation service can cause instances to be migrated to new locations within the host resource group to reduce or eliminate the fragmentation, allowing for hosts to beneficially be removed from the host resource group. The defragmentation service may determine which instances to be moved based on considerations involving software licenses associated with the host computing devices.

Defragmentation of licensed resources in a provider network

Techniques for managing customer license agreements are described. In one embodiment, a user-specified resource metric of a license model and a user-specified limit of the user-specified resource metric are obtained. A request for permission to launch a new compute resource at a computing device of the provider network is obtained from a service within a provider network. The new compute resource having a property that is an amount of the user-specified metric. A determination is made that a launch of the new compute resource would cause the user-specified limit to be exceeded, and the request the request to launch the new compute resource is denied.
