Abstract: Techniques for are described which enable users of a service provider network to manage local storage devices connected to computer systems of the service provider network as a service. A service provider network provides an application programming interface (API) that enables users to manage local storage devices in association with compute instances created by users using a hardware virtualization service of the service provider network. The API can be used to attach local storage devices to compute instances (that is, make local storage devices available for use as a block storage device), detach local storage devices from compute instances (that is, make local storage devices unavailable for use by a compute instance and possibly available for use by other compute instances on the same computer system), among other possible operations.

Abstract: A distributed system may include one or more interfaces, such as APIs, allowing a client to request a resource instance and further provide information about the resource instance that can be used to determine a placement domain for resource instance. For example, a compute instance may be placed in a same placement domain as a volume that provides block storage for the compute instance. In some embodiments, a resource placement manager may “jam” place a resource instance in a particular placement domain, wherein the “jam” placement causes one or more placement constraints to be temporarily violated. The resource placement manager may then perform one or more mitigating actions to return the particular placement domain to a state that satisfies the one or more placement constraints.
