Abstract
Techniques for managing cloud computing resources hosting burstable performance instances are described. A host computer system of a provider network executes burstable performance compute instances. Compute capacity usage data is obtained from the host computer system, the compute capacity usage data including a first indication of a first compute capacity used by a first burstable performance compute instance. A first weight for the first burstable performance compute instance is calculated, the first weight being inversely related to the first compute capacity. A scheduler of the host computer system is updated with process prioritization weights, the process prioritization weights including a first process prioritization weight that is based at least in part on the first weight. The scheduler allocates compute capacity based on the process prioritization weights.
