Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving, by one or more configured computing systems, instructions related to executing one or more software programs using a group of computing nodes and using a plurality of capacity modification triggers that each has one or more specified criteria for use in determining to modify program execution capacity being provided by the group of computing nodes; determining, by the one or more configured computing systems and during the executing of the one or more software programs using the group of computing nodes, a current first program execution capacity that is available from the computing nodes of the group, and that multiple capacity modification triggers of the plurality are satisfied for the group based on current conditions, wherein the multiple satisfied capacity modification triggers each indicates a first numerical change in quantity of computing nodes of the group; and modifying, by the one or more configured computing systems and during the executing of the one or more software programs using the group of computing nodes, the group of computing nodes to provide a second program execution capacity from the modified group, wherein the second program execution capacity is distinct from the first program execution capacity and is based at least in part on a combination of the multiple satisfied capacity modification triggers by accumulating the indicated first numerical changes for the multiple satisfied capacity modification triggers.
