Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for data set capture management, comprising: under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions, maintaining a collection of data set capture policies including at least one data set capture policy specifying a flexible schedule with respect to capture of a data set; forecasting a utilization load of at least one of a set of resources of a program execution service, the forecasting including determining at least one time period of resource under-utilization with respect to a resource utilization target, the set of resources including a first data store maintaining at least the data set, and a network at least connecting the first data store to a second data store configured at least to store at least one capture of the data set for later inspection; and scheduling at least one capture of the data set based at least in part on said at least one time period of resource under-utilization while satisfying one or more scheduling constraints specified by said at least one data set capture policy, the scheduling arranged at least to optimize utilization of the set of resources of the program execution service, the optimization based at least in part on the collection of data set capture policies and the forecast of the utilization load of said at least one of the set of resources.
