Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Resource provisioning to a process in a distributed computing system, such as a cloud computing system. An instruction to provision a resource is received. Portions of the resource are provisioned to the process as they become available, and prior to all portions becoming available, based on determining that the provisioning speed is greater than or equal to the use speed for the resource. If the use speed is faster, it may be actively slowed down.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for provisioning resources in a distributed computing environment, comprising: receiving a provisioning instruction to provision a resource in the distributed computing environment, the provisioning instruction being associated with a set of provisioning tasks for completion; monitoring a provisioning speed corresponding to a speed at which the resource has been allocated based on the provisioning instruction; monitoring a use speed corresponding to a speed at which the resource has been used by a process; and determining whether the provisioning speed is faster than or equal to the use speed, or slower than the use speed; and executing at least one provisioning task, prior to all portions of the resource becoming available for provisioning, whereby executing the at least one provisioning task allocates at least one portion of the resource, executing at least one instruction to reduce the use speed to be equal to or slower than the provisioning speed if it is determined that the provisioning speed is slower than or equal to the use speed, wherein the provisioning instruction is received from at least one of a user process, a user application, a system process, and a system application, and wherein the resource includes one or more of storage memory, random access memory (RAM), network bandwidth, central processing unit (CPU) core, and security gateway.
