RESOURCE CAPACITY MANAGEMENT IN CLOUDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916616 titled 'RESOURCE CAPACITY MANAGEMENT IN CLOUDS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and node in a network of clusters that support containerized workloads. The method involves receiving a request from a cluster user quota controller, which contains a proposed set of resource limits for a cluster namespace. This proposed set of resource limits is then relayed to a cluster administrator quota controller. The method also involves receiving a request from the cluster administrator quota controller, which contains a first set of resource limits selected from the proposed set of resource limits to apply to the cluster namespace.

  • Method and node in a network of clusters supporting containerized workloads
  • Receive a request from a cluster user quota controller
  • Request contains a proposed set of resource limits for a cluster namespace
  • Relay the proposed set of resource limits to a cluster administrator quota controller
  • Receive a request from the cluster administrator quota controller
  • Request contains a first set of resource limits selected from the proposed set of resource limits to apply to the cluster namespace

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cloud computing environments where containerized workloads are used.
  • It can be used to manage and allocate resources efficiently in a network of clusters.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of managing resource limits for containerized workloads running in cluster namespaces.
  • It provides a way to handle resource allocation requests from both cluster users and cluster administrators.

Benefits

  • The method allows for better resource management and allocation in a network of clusters.
  • It enables efficient utilization of resources by applying appropriate resource limits to cluster namespaces.
  • The method provides a clear and organized approach to handling resource allocation requests from both cluster users and cluster administrators.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and node of a network of clusters supporting containerized workloads running in workload cluster namespaces in communication with at least one workload cluster are disclosed. In one aspect, a method implemented in a workload cluster in a network of workload clusters supporting containerized workloads running in cluster namespaces in communication with at least one workload cluster is provided. A request is received from a cluster user quota controller, the request containing a proposed set of resource limits for a cluster namespace of the cluster user. The proposed set of resource limits to be evaluated is relayed to a cluster administrator quota controller. A request is received from a cluster administrator quota controller. The request contains a first set of resource limits selected from the proposed set of resource limits to apply to a cluster namespace of the cluster user.
