Techniques are described for enabling users to create reservations for compute capacity at a service provider network intended for use in disaster recovery scenarios. A service provider can use separate geographic areas (sometimes referred to as “regions” or “availability zones”) defined by the service provider network to enable users to share reservations of compute capacity intended for use in disaster recovery scenarios. A disaster recovery launch reservation (DRLR) is a reservation of a given unit of compute capacity that is unique to a source geographic area (that is, a defined area of the service provider network containing computing resource(s) for which a user desires to obtain backup compute capacity) and a destination area (that is, a defined area of the service provider network at which the reserved compute capacity is located), where other users can reserve the compute capacity relative to other source geographic area-to-destination geographic area mappings.
