Abstract
Described are systems and methods that use a donor memory that is accessible from multiple compute instances to access and execute portions of user data stored on the donor memory, thereby decreasing the time required to initialize a compute instance. Upon receipt of a first request to execute a user data, a compute instance group is initialized that includes a donor memory and a donor file system. At least a portion of the requested user data, or a snapshot of at least a portion of the user data, is loaded into the donor memory and a first compute instance is initialized in the compute instance group to execute the user data from the donor memory. Upon receipt of a second request to execute the user data, rather than having to again load the portion of the user data (or snapshot), a second compute instance is initialized within the compute instance group that is able to directly access the donor memory and execute the user data.
