Abstract
A distributed system may implement preventing concentrated selection of resource hosts for placing resources within the distributed system. When a request to place a resource at a resource host is received, an evaluation of load metrics for the resource host is made with respect to rejection criteria. If the rejection criteria is satisfied, then the resource host may reject the request to place the resource. If the rejection criteria is not satisfied, then the resource host may not reject the placement of the resource. Rejection criteria may be provided to resource hosts along with the placement request, in some embodiments. Rejection criteria may be changed, weakened, or removed entirely if initial attempts to place a resource are unsuccessful.
