Abstract
Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application relate to an instance resource oversubscription service for scheduling a burst period for a running virtual machine instance based on a time window specified by a user of the virtual machine instance. For example, the instance resource oversubscription service can predict future resource usage and identify the appropriate timing and physical host machine for letting the user burst (e.g., temporarily use the virtual machine instance in a manner than consumes a higher amount of computing resources such as CPU cycles, memory, network bandwidth, etc.). In doing so, the instance resource oversubscription service may consider, for example, the historical and current resource utilization levels of the virtual machine instances running on a set of available physical host machines and the burst period scheduling requests from other users of the instance resource oversubscription service.
