Resource Reservation (Erl, Naserpour)
How can shared IT resources be protected from conflicts that can arise from concurrent access?
Problem
When two or more cloud service consumers attempt to instantiate the same shared IT resource, runtime conflicts can occur, including resource constraints due to lack of capacity.
Solution
A system is established whereby a portion of an IT resource (or one or more IT resources) is set aside exclusively for a given cloud service consumer.
Application
The resource management system is used to define IT resource thresholds and to restrict access to reserved IT resources.
Mechanisms
Audit Monitor, Cloud Storage Device, Cloud Usage Monitor, Container, Hypervisor, Logical Network Perimeter, Remote Administration System, Resource Management System, Resource Replication, Virtual CPU, Virtual Infrastructure Manager, Virtual RAM, Virtual Server
