AUTOMATED DESKTOP PLACEMENT

摘要

Systems and methods are presented for enabling a user to provide rules for the placement of computing resources at a data center for an entity that employs or is associated with the user. The data center can use the placement rules to select a data center computer system to host computing resources for a user. The rules can be used to establish diversity in computing resource placement at the data center thereby reducing the number of users who lose access to computing resources when a specific data center computer suffers a failure. Further, the placement rules can be used to facilitate configuration of the computer resources for the user based, for example, on the user's employment responsibilities.

1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
as implemented by one or more computing devices configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
receiving a request from a computing device of an entity to access a computing resource;determining an access rule for accessing the computing resource based at least partially on an identity of the entity, wherein the access rule includes at least a first rule for limiting a number of users from a set of users associated with the entity that can access the computing resource at a particular data center or a second rule that scales the number of users from the set of users that can access the computing resource at the particular data center;selecting a data center from a plurality of data centers based at least in part on the access rule;identifying an instance of the computing resource at the data center based at least partially on the access rule; andproviding the computing device with access to the instance of the computing resource.
