More Information
Summary:Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for capacity reservation for virtualized graphics processing are disclosed. A request is received to attach a virtual GPU to a virtual compute instance. The request comprises one or more constraints. Availability information is retrieved from a data store that indicates virtual GPUs available in a provider network and matching the one or more constraints. A virtual GPU is selected from among the available virtual GPUs in the availability information. The selected virtual GPU is reserved for attachment to the virtual compute instance. The virtual compute instance is implemented using CPU resources and memory resources of a physical compute instance, the virtual GPU is implemented using a physical GPU in the provider network, and the physical GPU is accessible to the physical compute instance over a network.
