Abstract: Scheduling job request submitted by multiple tenants in a manner that honors multiple software license agreements for the multiple tenants. A queue persistently stores job requests that await scheduling. A job state tracking component persistently tracks a state of the job requests, and perhaps provides job requests into the queue. A software license agreement enforcer reviews the job requests in the queue, selects one or more job requests should be scheduled next based on the license agreements, and provide the selected job requests to a resource manager. A subscriber/publisher pool may be used to the various components to communicate. This decouples the communication from being a simple one-to-one correspondence, but instead allows communication from a component of one type to a component of the other type, whichever instance of those components happens to be operating.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an abstraction on top of virtual machine allocation APIs to expose scalable services. The services are higher level components that expose a particular set of functionalities. A deployment manager handles matching and managing virtual machine allocations in order to meet the customer demands for the managed services. A deployment service exposes a “service” as a unit of resource allocation in a distributed computing environment or cloud computing service. Client components interact with the deployment service to request new service instances to meet customer demand.
