  • System resource sharing in a multi-tenant platform-as-a-service environment in a cloud computing system
    Patent number: 9058198
    Abstract: A mechanism for system resource sharing in a multi-tenant PaaS environment in a cloud computing system is disclosed. A method of embodiments includes receiving, by a virtual machine (VM), identification of resource-usage groups that each define resource constraints to apply to applications having a type of the resource-usage group, establishing a resource control policy on the VM for each of the identified resource-usage groups, the resource control policy to enforce the resource constraints of its associated resource-usage group, configuring a plurality of resource control tools of the VM to implement each resource control policy, identifying a resource-usage group of an application to be created on the VM, applying, by the one or more resource control tools to the application, the resource control policy of the identified resource-usage group of the application, and executing the application with the defined resource constraints on the VM.
