Zusammenfassung:Techniques are described for enabling users of a cloud provider network to request the conditional termination of computing resources based on a forecasted availability of replacement capacity at a specified time or range of time in the future. A cloud provider network provides an application programming interface that can be used to make such requests, where the computing resources are hosted by the cloud provider network as part of a capacity pool shared by tenants of the cloud provider network. This type of request can be generated, for example, by a user desiring to terminate the use of some number of unproductive computing resources only if the user can be reasonably assured by the cloud provider network that capacity will be available at a future time when the user will likely need the capacity again.
