Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for increasing the baseline performance of a burstable instance to an increased performance level for a limited time period. For example, a user may schedule a time period which the burstable instance has access to 100% of a CPU, instead of competing with other burstable instances even during periods of bursting as in prior techniques. In some cases, the user uses credits to reserve the time periods at which the increased performance level is requested. After receiving the reservation, a resource system selects computing resources to host the burstable instance such that the burstable instance, can operate at the requested increased performance level. After the time period has ended, the burstable instance may return to the baseline performance level.
