Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for customizing component configurations used in utility computing. A selection of a subset of a set of hardware components is received from a customer. A request is received from the customer to allocate a customized computing device within a networked plurality of computing devices. The customized computing device includes the subset of the set of hardware components. Responsive to the request, the customized computing device is assembled and then installed on a network in a data center.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for resetting the operation of computing resources, such as computing resources provided by a service provider network. In one implementation an interface is exposed for receiving requests to reset the operation of computing resources in a service provider network. Such a request may specify one or more constraints on the manner in which the computing resources are to be reset, such as constraints that define a limit on the computing resources that can be simultaneously out of service as a result of a reset operation. In response to receiving such a request, the operation of the computing resources is reset in a manner that satisfies the specified constraints.
