Abstract

A cluster formation engine invokes generation of an automatically scalable group (ASG) of virtual machine instances, where the ASG is associated with one or more applications to be run in a cloud computing environment. The cluster formation engine detects a failure to generate a first virtual machine instance to be included in the ASG, and completes the generation of the ASG without including the first virtual machine instance in the ASG.
