Dynamic allocation of resources while considering resource reservations

摘要

Described herein are technologies relating to computing resource allocation among multiple tenants. Each tenant may have a respective absolute reservation for rate-based computing resources, which is independent of computing resource reservations of other tenants. The multiple tenants vie for the rate-based computing resources, and tasks are scheduled based upon which tenants submit the tasks and the resource reservations of such tenants.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device that has a fixed amount of rate-based computing resources, indications of a plurality of tenants that are configured to request rate-based resources of the computing device, a tenant being logically isolated computer-executable code; receiving, at the computing device, resource reservations for the plurality of tenants, the resource reservations being absolute and cumulatively greater than the fixed amount of computing resources of the computing device, a resource reservation of the resource reservations defining an amount of rate-based computing resources that is to be accessible to a tenant that has the resource reservation when the tenant requests rate-based computing resources; receiving requests for rate-based computing resources of the computing device from tenants in the plurality of tenants; and allocating rate-based computing resources to the tenants based upon the requests and the resource reservations for the plurality of tenants.
