Abstract: Tasks to be performed for a user can be outsourced to a workload service operable to process those types of tasks. Information for the tasks, such as code to be executed and data to be processed, can be stored to a queue for the workload service. The workload service can pull the task when an appropriate resource is available and provide the result to the user. The user can be charged only for the approximate time of the processing, without need to obtain the resource for an extended period of time resulting in unused capacity. The user can take advantage of queuing, data, and code storage services whereby tasks can contain pointers to code, data, and other information needed for a task. The workload service can pre-load the supporting code or information needed to provide an environment in which code of the type for the user task can be executed.

Abstract: A network-based services platform is configured to dynamically allocate network addresses to requesting machine instances. When a particular address becomes unassigned, it may be retained, and not allowed to be reassigned, during a period of time in which it is expected that the unassigned address may continue to be the target of outdated DNS records.
