A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING EXECUTION OF PROGRAMS BY MULTIPLE COMPUTING SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and system for execution of programs (384) by multiple computing systems (370) are disclosed. The computer-implemented method involves: receiving, by one or more computing systems for a program execution service, one or more requests from a client of the program execution service, the received one or more requests including at least an indication of an operating system and configuration information related to executing the operating system; selecting (415, 420) by the one or more computing systems, one or more computing nodes of the program execution service to use for execution of the indicated operating system; and causing, by the one or more computer systems, the one or more selected computing nodes to execute one or more instances of the indicated operating system within one or more virtual machines, the causing of the execution being based at least in part on the received configuration information.
