Abstract
Generally described, the present application relates to providing a container orchestration service that can enable and manage execution of containerized applications on user-owned infrastructure and cloud-provided compute capacity. In some embodiments, a request to execute a task may indicate the type of compute capacity (e.g., internal/external, computing resource amount, etc.) to be used to execute the task. For example, if the task indicates that internal compute capacity is to be used, compute capacity hosted the cloud provider network can be identified and used to execute the task. Alternatively, if the task indicates that external compute capacity is to be used, instructions for executing the task can be generated and sent to the user-owned infrastructure, and the task can be executed using compute capacity provided within the user-owned infrastructure, which is external to the cloud provider network implementing the container orchestration service.
