Abstract
A block storage service can ensure volumes are placed in a same region as an attached virtual machine instance for performance and durability guarantees. A region can reference multiple things, but one example is that a volume is within a same spine as a virtual machine in order to meet performance guarantees. Each region can have a buffer of server computers held in reserve for volumes having a type where performance guarantees are required. If performance guarantees cannot be met, a rejection is transmitted to the customer. In another embodiment, the customer can provide a list in priority order of different volume types so that if a desired volume type cannot be placed, then alternative volume types can be used.
