Patent attributes
A technology is described for managing computing capacity within a computing service environment. An example method may include determining a state of a computing service environment having a group of physical hosts that execute computing instances and determining a predicted demand for computing instance launches on the group of physical hosts. A co-location of the computing instance launches on the group of physical hosts may then be determined by applying the predicted demand for computing instance launches to the state of the computing service environment. A predicted launch time for the computing instance launches may then be determined using the co-location of the computing instance launches as an input feature. An additional physical host may then be added to the group of physical hosts to decrease the predicted launch time.
