Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
allocating a cluster of compute instances for performance of a task, wherein the compute instances are reclaimable instances of a first instance type in a first instance category;
receiving, in a state machine comprising memory to store state information related to the compute instances and comprising at least one processor to monitor the state information, a notification that a compute instance of the cluster will be terminated prior to completion of the task;
determining that the performance of the task will fall outside an acceptable range of performance;
enabling, by the state machine, an identification of a second compute instance to replace capacity of the compute instance that will be terminated, the second compute instance being of a different instance type or different instance category relative to the first instance type or the first instance category; and
transitioning at least a portion of the task to the second compute instance for completion of the performance.
