Methods and systems for provisioning computing resource instances among implementation resources based on trust to reduce interference between computing resource instances implemented by the same implementation resources. In an embodiment, a trust rating is determined for a computing resource instance based at least in part on one or more trust factors. The suitability of an implementation resource to implement the given computing resource instance may be evaluated based at least in part on the trust rating of the computing resource instance and a trust rating of the implementation resource. In some embodiments, the trust rating of the implementation resource may be predefined or based on trust ratings of computing resource instances that are currently implemented by the implementation resource. An implementation resource may be selected to implement the computing resource instance based at least in part on its suitability thus determined.

Trust-based resource allocation

Customers of a computing resource service provider may transmit requests to instantiate compute instances associated with a plurality of logical partitions. The compute instances may be executed by a server computer system associated with a particular logical partition of the plurality of logical partitions. For example, a compute service may determine a set of server computer systems that are capable of executing the compute instance based at least in part on placement information and/or a diversity constraint of the plurality of logical partitions.

User defined logical spread placement groups for computing resources within a computing environment

Capability based placement can be used for placing virtual machine instances on server computers (which can be configured to support one or more virtual machine slots) that are capable of running the instances in an efficient manner. For example, capability tags can be determined from the detailed characteristics (e.g., detailed hardware, software, and/or other characteristics) of the server computer and/or slots. For example, capability tags can indicate capabilities such as disk throughput, network bandwidth, database support, encryption support, video editing support, etc. Requests to launch virtual machine instances can be received and capability tags can be determined from the requests. Servers and/or slots that match the determined capability tags can be identified and used for launching the instances.
