Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for recycling memory from a memory pool dedicated to a virtual machine instance. For example, memory sub-pools can be pre-allocated to respective virtual machine instances. Memory scrubbing can be ordinarily performed to avoid data leakage between different customers. However, scrubbing can be inhibited when a given virtual machine reclaims memory previously released to the dedicated pool because the memory remains dedicated to the instance. Further features, such as partition and merge of sub-pools can be supported. Control of the features can be accomplished via API calls as part of a web service.

Abstract: Functionality is disclosed herein for managing resource bursting and other operational characteristics of software executing on a virtual machine instance. The mechanism disclosed herein may receive a request to initialize a virtual machine instance. The request might include a virtual machine instance type and a weight value. The virtual machine instance may be instantiated by establishing a virtual machine of the virtual machine instance type and associating the weight value therewith. The utilization of resources by the virtual machine instance may be monitored and the weight value may be adjusted based upon the monitoring. The adjusted weight value might also be utilized when instantiating new virtual machine instances for the same user and/or customer of a service provider network.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for recycling memory among virtual machine instances in the same memory usage trust group. Memory scrubbing can be ordinarily performed to avoid data leakage between different customers. However, scrubbing can be inhibited when a given virtual machine reclaims memory previously released by another virtual machine in the same trust group. Further features, such as enabling and disabling trust groups can be supported. Control of the features can be accomplished via API calls as part of a web service.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for recycling memory after a virtual machine reboots. Memory allocated to a rebooting virtual machine instance can be associated with the instance or otherwise marked as to be reserved for use after the virtual machine instance reboots. Subsequently, after the reboot process is initiated, the reserved memory can be reallocated to the virtual machine instance. Memory scrubbing can be ordinarily performed to avoid data leakage between customers, but scrubbing can be inhibited for memory that is returned to a rebooting virtual machine instance. Further features, such as API calls to configure memory recycling, indications to disable recycling, and the like can be supported.
