Abstract
A method for launching a plurality of computing instances may include obtaining a request to launch a plurality of computing instances. The request may indicate a first number and a target number of compute instances that is larger than the first number. The method may further include verifying that there is sufficient capacity, for example of a compute instance service, to launch at least the first number of compute instances. The request may be fulfilled by at least launching at least the first number of compute instances in a way that bypasses a rate limit that limits a rate at which compute instances can be launched. In some cases, the method may additionally include launching additional compute instances, as they become available, until the target number has been reached.
