Abstract: A system prioritizes workflows based on priority levels and calculates an amount of resource consumption associated with the workflows. Each client starts a predefined time period with a certain amount of credits that indicate a degree of resource consumption. Workflows may be run with high priorities using credits. Workflows that are run with higher priorities are scheduled to run before workflows with lower priorities. A degree of resource consumption for running a workflow may be calculated based on resources consumed by the system, such as central processing unit (CPU), memory storage, network usage and elapsed time. The degree of resource consumption for running a workflow may be calculated and converted to an amount of credits and the respective amount of credits may be deducted from a credit balance associated with the client's account. The degree of resource consumption associated with a workflow may be estimated before the workflow starts running.

Abstract: Authorizing access to a web domain involves a server device receiving, from a browser of a computing device, a request to access a web domain. The server device sends a web page to the browser of the computing device. The web page includes a redirect script that redirects the browser to a particular companion domain of the web domain, wherein the particular companion domain comprises a domain name system (DNS) zone file comprising an ALIAS record for the particular companion domain. The server device sends to the browser an authentication challenge for access to the web domain. The server device receives a Kerberos service ticket from the browser of the computing device. The server device provides the browser with access to the web page.
