Abstract
A distributed system may include one or more interfaces, such as APIs, allowing a client to request a resource instance and further provide information about the resource instance that can be used to determine a placement domain for resource instance. For example, a compute instance may be placed in a same placement domain as a volume that provides block storage for the compute instance. In some embodiments, a resource placement manager may 'jam' place a resource instance in a particular placement domain, wherein the 'jam' placement causes one or more placement constraints to be temporarily violated. The resource placement manager may then perform one or more mitigating actions to return the particular placement domain to a state that satisfies the one or more placement constraints.
