Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems and methods for providing a resource distribution engine. In an example, a method includes identifying, by an instance management service, a request from a cluster orchestrator to acquire computing resources associated with deployment of an application. The method may also include determining, by the instance management service, markets containing reclaimable resources suitable for the computing resources, and performing, by a resource distribution engine of the instance management service, a resource distribution process to determine a resource distribution of the reclaimable resources within the markets. The resource distribution of the reclaimable resources may include a distribution of instance type of the reclaimable resources across the markets. The method may also include securing, by the instance management service, the reclaimable resources identified by the resource distribution as provisioned reclaimable resources.

Abstract: Systems and methods for making instance-type recommendations are provided. In various examples, an instance type recommendation system (internal or external to a cloud) provides users (cloud customers) with instance type recommendations and may automatically adjust their instance type groups (ITGs). The instance type recommendations may take into consideration other users with similar requirements and/or be based on frequency of co-occurrence of an instance type of the user at issue with one or more other instance types used by other users as reflected by their respective current ITGs. For example, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network may be trained by breaking instance types down into respective attributes and causing the MLP to encode the attributes as features and the training may make use of a triplet loss function that minimizes a distance between an anchor and a positive input while maximizing a distance between the anchor and a negative input.
