Abstract
Techniques for managing cloud computing resources hosting burstable performance instances are described. A host computer system of a cloud provider network executes a first burstable performance compute instance having an associated first baseline compute performance level, the first burstable performance compute instance able to use at least a portion of a compute capacity headroom to exceed the first baseline compute performance level. A total baseline compute performance level of a plurality of burstable performance compute instances hosted by the host computer system is calculated. A difference between a compute resource utilization of the host computer system and the total baseline compute performance level is determined to be below a threshold. A status identifier associated with a portion of compute capacity of the host computer system is updated to reserve the portion of compute capacity of the host computer system to contribute to the compute capacity headroom.
