Abstract
A service provider may select one or more physical locations of existing data centers for the user for deployment of the user's computing resources. In various embodiments, the service provider may collect parameters from the user to create a custom selection of physical locations for computing services to be deployed for the user, which may be a strategically selected subset of all of the existing data centers available. Some parameters for selection may include expected location of end-users, cost tolerance, latency tolerance, and fault risk diversity. In some situations, cost may have an inverse relationship with latency, such that as cost increases, latency decreases (and vice versa). The rule sets may be created using the parameters, possibly with weights assigned to different parameters based on information received via the user interface. The rule sets may be formed and used to select physical locations for deployment of computing resources.
