Distributed resource allocation

This invention describes a system that helps customers of a web services platform get the computing power they need. It takes a customer's request and specific rules, like how much they want to pay for flexible, interruptible computing time, and then figures out the right amount and type of computing resources. These resources are then assigned across different data centers around the world and can be adjusted as needs change, specifically for multi-tenant web services where cost for interruptible use is a factor.

Why it matters: Filed before container orchestration and serverless computing were mainstream, the underlying software logic for dynamic, geographically distributed resource allocation with interruptibility pricing is now more feasible and valuable due to the maturity of cloud platforms and FinOps practices.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, distributed computing expertise
