Policy enforcement in computing environment

摘要

An embodiment may include policy engine circuitry that may enforce, at least in part, one or more platform resource management policies in a cloud computing environment. The one or more policies may be based, at least in part, upon service arrangements of the cloud computing environment. The one or more policies may establish respective isolated computing environments in the cloud computing environment that may be used by respective users. The enforcement of the one or more policies may result in the respective isolated computing environments being virtually isolated from each other and prevented from interfering with each other in derogation of the one or more policies. The one or more policies may be established, at least in part, via interaction of at least one management process with one or more application program interfaces of the circuitry. Many modifications are possible.

1. An apparatus comprising:
policy engine circuitry to enforce, at least in part, one or more platform resource management policies in a cloud computing environment, the one or more policies being based, at least in part, upon service arrangements of the cloud computing environment, the one or more policies being to establish respective isolated computing environments in the cloud computing environment that are to be used by respective users, enforcement of the one or more policies to result in the respective isolated computing environments being virtually isolated from each other and prevented from interfering with each other in derogation of the one or more policies, the one or more policies being established, at least in part, via interaction of at least one management process with one or more application program interfaces of the circuitry; the enforcement of the one or more policies resulting, at least in part, in one or more of the following:
assignment, at least in part, of one or more workloads in the cloud computing environment, the one or more workloads being associated, at least in part, with the one or more policies, the assignment being based, at least in part, upon the one or more policies and feedback information of the cloud computing environment;coordination, at least in part, of resource allocation in the cloud computing environment; andcoordinating, at least in part, of the resource allocation by a scheduling mechanism in the cloud computing environment.
