Abstract
Techniques are described for enabling users of a service provider to manage placement preferences used to launch virtualized computing resources into a fleet of dedicated physical servers. Users can use one or more service provider interfaces to provide input indicating various placement preferences associated with a fleet of physical servers dedicated for use by a user of the service provider. These placement preferences can be used to determine at which physical server virtualized computing resources—for example, virtual machine (VM) instances, containers, and the like—are launched in response to launch requests. Among other benefits, the ability to configure customized placement preferences enables users to better satisfy various performance, reliability, software licensing, and other considerations users may have with respect to how their resources are placed within physical server fleets.
