Cloud resources allocation system

A system for efficient utilization of cloud computing services, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• determining that an application requests a plurality of instances to execute across one or more processors of a cloud services platform;
• requesting, from the cloud services platform, one or more spare instances to fulfill at least a portion of the plurality of instances, wherein each spare instance comprises an unused processing capacity of the cloud services platform that is available for allocation such that the cloud services platform reserves a right to reallocate the spare instance;
• receiving an allocation of at least a subset of the requested one or more spare instances;
• directing an execution of the application to the allocated subset of the one or more spare instances, including a first spare instance;
• receiving a notification from the cloud services platform that the first spare instance is to be reallocated to a different process;
• and
• redirecting a subsequent execution of the application to an on demand instance of the cloud services platform, that was allocated for the application prior to the determining, instead of the first spare instance.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations for efficient utilization of cloud computing services, the operations comprising:

• determining that an application requests a plurality of instances to execute across one or more processors of a cloud services platform;
• requesting, from the cloud services platform, one or more spare instances to fulfill at least a portion of the plurality of instances, wherein each spare instance comprises an unused processing capacity of the cloud services platform that is available for allocation such that the cloud services platform reserves a right to reallocate the spare instance;
• receiving an allocation of at least a subset of the requested one or more spare instances;
• directing an execution of the application to the allocated subset of the one or more spare instances, including a first spare instance;
• receiving a notification from the cloud services platform that the first spare instance is to be reallocated to a different process;
• and
• redirecting a subsequent execution of the application to an on demand instance of the cloud services platform, that was allocated for the application prior to the determining, instead of the first spare instance.
