Abstract
This document describes techniques for allocating instances in a service provider network. In an example embodiment, a resource manager provides a number of allocation strategies for determining which instances to assign to a client. The resource manager applies a client selected one of the allocation strategies to assign instances to the client. One of the allocation strategies includes determining for each of a plurality of pools of resource instances, an estimate of time that a unit cost of each of the number of resource instances in the pool will be no more than a maximum unit cost specified by the client. The instances are assigned to the client while the unit cost of the instances is less than a client specified amount.
