Patent 11500663 was granted and assigned to Amazon on November, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A host computer inventory system within a provider network detects patterns of launch requests on an individual user account basis. For a customer that cyclically submits similar launch requests, the inventory system may allocate slots in specific host computers consistent with the detected launch pattern so that future attempts to launch the virtual machines will be honored using the pre-allocated hosts.
