Abstract
This document describes techniques for activating multiple interruptible resource instances on servers of a service provider environment. In an example embodiment, a system can activate multiple interruptible resource instances on behalf of a given customer based on a comparison of a bid cost value from the customer to the current, but variable cost value of the interruptible resource instances. The customer also can specify a value indicative of the number of interruptible resource instances to be activated on behalf of the customer based on the bid cost value.
