Abstract
Techniques for adaptive sleep virtual machine management are described. A service of a provider network receives a parameter indicating that a first virtual machine can be slept and determines to sleep the first virtual machine based at least in part on the parameter. A state of the first virtual machine is captured, and the first virtual machine is terminated. The service determines to resume the captured state of the first virtual machine based at least in part on an indication. A second virtual machine is launched using the captured state of the first virtual machine and resumes execution of the captured state of the first virtual machine. A proxy server sends traffic to the first virtual machine before the termination of the first virtual machine and to the second virtual machine after the resumption of execution of the captured state of the first virtual machine by the second virtual machine.
