Resource distribution engine(s) for allocating and securing reclaimable resources within a cloud environment

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for providing a resource distribution engine. In an example, a method includes identifying, by an instance management service, a request from a cluster orchestrator to acquire computing resources associated with deployment of an application. The method may also include determining, by the instance management service, markets containing reclaimable resources suitable for the computing resources, and performing, by a resource distribution engine of the instance management service, a resource distribution process to determine a resource distribution of the reclaimable resources within the markets. The resource distribution of the reclaimable resources may include a distribution of instance type of the reclaimable resources across the markets. The method may also include securing, by the instance management service, the reclaimable resources identified by the resource distribution as provisioned reclaimable resources.
