Abstract
The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to select a computing resource from a plurality of computing resources to perform a computing process. A request is received from a remote computing device to perform the computing process. A first set of estimated metrics is accessed that includes an estimated metric for each computing resource and the first remote computing device. The second data is processed using a machine learning algorithm to select a candidate computing resource to perform the process. The machine learning algorithm selects the candidate computing resource based on a second estimated metric between at least one second remote computing device and an associated computing resource from the plurality of computing resources performing a second computing process for the at least one second remote computing device, and a capacity of each computing resource of the plurality of computing resources.
