Provisioning virtual resource on a server based on label associated with virtual resource and servers

摘要

Virtual resource provisioning may be enhanced by coloring virtual resource instances and/or underlying implementation resources. Particular resource colors may be associated with particular treatments during allocation of implementation resources to virtual resources. There may be different types of colors corresponding to different types of allocation treatment. Exclusory colors may be utilized to reduce clustering of virtual resources with respect to implementation resources. Assignment of exclusory colors to virtual resources can help strike a balance between lower costs through efficient implementation resource utilization and higher fault tolerance through spreading across an available implementation resource pool. Inclusive colors may be utilized to require and/or prefer allocation of virtual resources to implementation resources painted with the inclusive color. Proximity colors may be utilized to enhance a computational performance of a set of virtual resources. Proximity colors may be associated with proximity specifications that define proximity in implementation resource networks.

1. A computer system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to at least:
receive, from a customer of a virtual resource provider, a request to provision a virtual resource, the request comprising an exclusory label associated with the virtual resource;select a server from a group of servers capable of provisioning the virtual resource based at least in part on the server not being associated with the exclusory label;provision the virtual resource on the server; andassociate the server with the exclusory label at least while the virtual resource is hosted by the server, the association enabling a preference that the server not be selected for provisioning a second virtual resource associated with the exclusory label.
