Abstract: The aspects of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for implementing hardware resource allocation. For example, the apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains a first value that is indicative of an allocable resource quantity of a hardware resource in a computing device. The processing circuitry also receives a second value that is indicative of a requested resource quantity of the hardware resource by a user, and then determines whether the second value is greater than the first value. When the second value is determined to be less than or equal to the first value, the processing circuitry requests the computing device to allocate the hardware resource of the requested resource quantity to the user, and subtracts the second value from the first value to update the allocable resource quantity of the hardware resource in the computing device.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process acquires topology information that indicates a calling relationship between containers that operate in a first information processing device. The process also identifies a second container that is one of calls of a first container that calls two or more containers, and a third container that does not call another container based on the topology information. Next, the process moves, to a second information processing device, a container group that is connected by the calling relationship from the second container to the third container.
