Computing instance placement using estimated launch times

摘要

Technology is described for determining computing instance placement. A request to launch a computing instance in a computing service environment may be received. Estimated launch times for the computing instance to launch on individual physical hosts in a group of physical hosts may be identified. A physical host in the group of physical hosts that can provide placement of the computing instance may be selected based in part on the estimated launch times for the computing instance and additional factors related to placement of the computing instance.
