Abstract: Processes and systems are disclosed for selecting a producer system from a number of producer systems to lease to a consumer system. A leasing agent, in response to a request from the consumer system for access to a service at a producer system, can identify a producer system to lease to the lease requestor based, at least in part, on a selection weight associated with each producer system that the leasing agent is assigned. The selection weights can be modified based on status information associated with each of the producer systems. This status information may be obtain from the producer systems and/or from a consumer system that has previously accessed the producer system. The consumer system may provide the status information to the leasing agent as part of the consumer system's lease request.
