Abstract
Techniques for implementing instance local boots in a cloud provider network via auxiliary domains are described. An auxiliary compute instance is launched and attached to a local storage device of the computing device. The auxiliary compute instance can pre-warm a boot volume by fetching its data from a remote system and storing the boot volume to the local storage device. The auxiliary compute instance is terminated, and a user compute device is launched into the same slot and connected to the local storage device. The user compute device utilizes the pre-warmed boot volume for launch.
