Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for a client-and-server architecture where the client makes scheduled execution of instances to the server. The server may then launch occurrences as indicated by one of these API calls at each of the scheduled times. The server may also implement operations to selectively execute particular occurrences, such as executing a new occurrence only when no other occurrences are still running. In other embodiments, the server may implement pricing information in a determination of whether to execute a particular occurrence.
