Abstract: Techniques for managing fault domains using cells are described. An area of a provider network may be divided into multiple cells, with each cell representing a different fault domain of the area of the provider network. A customer can provide domain definitions for their service or application and a cell management service can use the domain definitions to place the infrastructure and compute resources underlying the customer's application or service in appropriate cells within an area of the provider network. In some embodiments, the domain definitions may be account-based, where the domain definition may be to place resources in different fault domains depending on the account they are associated with. Alternatively, the customer may tag resources with an identifier such that resources tagged with a first identifier may be placed in a first cell while resources tagged with a second identifier may be placed in a second cell.
