System and method for terminating instances and autoscaling instance groups of computing platforms. For example, a method includes determining whether an instance of an instance group is identified as eligible for termination. The method further includes, in response to determining that the instance of the instance group is identified as eligible for termination, terminating the eligible instance. The terminating the eligible instance includes, in response to a runtime of the eligible instance being equal to or larger than a predetermined maximum lifetime, terminating the eligible instance. The terminating the eligible instance further includes, in response to the runtime being smaller than the predetermined maximum lifetime, detaching the eligible instance from the instance group to allow a new instance to be associated with the instance group, and in response to the eligible instance being detached from the instance group: waiting for the new instance to be associated with the instance group, and evicting each pod associated with the detached instance. The method is performed using one or more processors.

Systems and methods for autoscaling instance groups of computing platforms

Systems and methods scale an instance group of a computing platform by determining whether to scale up or down the instance group by using historical data from prior jobs wherein the historical data includes one or more of: a data set size used in a prior related job and a code version for a prior related job. The systems and methods also scale the instance group up or down based on the determination. In some examples, systems and methods scale an instance group of a computing platform by determining a job dependency tree for a plurality of related jobs, determining runtime data for each of the jobs in the dependency tree and scaling up or down the instance group based on the determined runtime data.

Systems and methods scale an instance group of a computing platform by determining whether to scale up or down the instance group by using historical data from prior jobs wherein the historical data includes one or more of: a data set size used in a prior related job and a code version for a prior related job. The systems and methods also scale the instance group up or down based on the determination. In some examples, systems and methods scale an instance group of a computing platform by determining whether to scale up or down the instance group by at least evaluating on-demand job request data for resource units (RUs), observing current job state data, and predicting resource unit need using historical data from prior related job executions. The systems and methods scale the instance group up or down based on the determination.
