1. A computer-implemented method of managing shared resources, comprising:

  • under control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,receiving an instance request associated with a user, the instance request specifying a bid price and a minimum rate of I/O operations to be used in invoking resource capacity for a user;

    determining whether available resource capacity exists to fulfill the instance request with the minimum rate of I/O operations and whether the bid price at least meets a current market price for the available capacity;

    if the available capacity exists and the bid price at least meets the current price, comparing the bid price to any competing bid price for the available resource capacity; and

    if the instance request meets at least one selection criterion, based at least in part upon the bid price, causing the instance request to be fulfilled using the available capacity.
