Abstract

Techniques for instantiating container instances from a pool of available container instances are described herein. An instance type is determined from a container description such that the instance type satisfies the resource parameters in the container description. An instance of the instance type is selected from a pool of running container instances, the instance is provisioned, and a container is instantiated on the instance.
