  • Publication number: 20250150825
    Abstract: An example computing device accesses a resource allocation network service utilizing a wireless network connection in accordance with embedded SIM (eSIM) functionality to identify and reserve computing resources. The computing device transmits a request to the resource allocation server that includes computing device profile information stored in the eSIM. The resource allocation network service processes the requests and receives additional profile information from the identified physical computing resource. The resource allocation network service then establishes a reservation and generates allocation information that includes credential information and is sent to the requesting computing device and the physical computing resource. When the computing device attempts to access the computing resource (e.g., the workstation), the physical computing resource authenticates the computing device based allocation information transmitted by the computing device.
