Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
allocate a cluster of first compute instances to perform a task, the compute instances corresponding to a first instance type of reclaimable capacity or interruptible capacity;
determine, based in part on a notification received, that at least a subset of the first compute instances will be unable to perform at least a portion of the task, the notification received in a state machine of the system that stores state information related to the first compute instances and that monitors the state information;
enable, by the state machine, a determination in the system that additional resource capacity will be required to perform the task with at least a minimum level of performance; and
allocate one or more second compute instances to provide the additional resource capacity, the one or more second compute instances capable of being of a different instance type relative to the first compute instances.
