Abstract
Provisioning a resource to provide a service based on network characteristics is disclosed. A request for a service may be received and network characteristics of current resources providing the service may be identified. If the network characteristics do not satisfy a load policy, a new resource is provisioned to provide the service. The location of the new resource may subsequently be transmitted. If the network characteristics do satisfy the load policy, then one of the current resources may be used to provide the service in response to the request.
