Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling users of a service provider to manage placement preferences used to launch virtualized computing resources into a fleet of dedicated physical servers. Users can use one or more service provider interfaces to provide input indicating various placement preferences associated with a fleet of physical servers dedicated for use by a user of the service provider. These placement preferences can be used to determine at which physical server virtualized computing resources—for example, virtual machine (VM) instances, containers, and the like—are launched in response to launch requests. Among other benefits, the ability to configure customized placement preferences enables users to better satisfy various performance, reliability, software licensing, and other considerations users may have with respect to how their resources are placed within physical server fleets.

Abstract: Techniques for configurable compute instance resets are described. A user can issue a request to securely reset one or more compute instances implemented within a service provider system. Each compute instance is reset to a previous point in time, such that any activity of the compute instance or effects thereof occurring since that point in time are completely eliminated. Each compute instance reset can include removing an existing volume of the compute instance, obtaining a volume, attaching the obtained volume to the compute instance, and rebooting the compute instance. Configuration data of the compute instance, such as an instance identifier or network addresses, can be maintained after the reset.
