Abstract
Systems and methods are described to enable integrating operation of a service record system with operation of an automatically scaled service hosting system. The service hosting system can maintain a set of servers to provide a network-accessible service, and the service record system can maintain records identifying the set of servers as endpoints for the service. The service hosting system can further modify the number of servers within the set based, for example, on demand. When the service hosting system intends to remove a server from the set, it may notify the service record system. The service record system, in turn, can determine whether any valid records are predicted to exist that identify the to-be-removed server as an endpoint for the service. If such records are predicted to exist, removal of the server can be delayed until those records expire, to prevent errors resulting from client reliance on those records.
