Abstract: In a computing resource environment including at least two different resource name spaces, a method for generating a fully-qualified name for a resource based on a context-based name of that resource and a usage context is disclosed. Method steps include receiving the resource's name schema, its context-based name, and usage context; comparing an entry in the schema and an entry in the context-based name and identifying schema monikers missing from the context-based name. For a missing moniker, determining whether it is an attribute space (aspace) moniker. If it is an aspace moniker, adding it to a full name that includes the context-based name. If it is not an aspace moniker, determining the aspace associated with the missing moniker; searching the usage context for an association between the missing moniker, its aspace, and a value assigned to the missing moniker; and appending the searched-for items to the full name.

Abstract: Multiple scheduler verticals can allocate tasks to resources that are shared by the scheduler verticals. Information regarding a state of each resource may be stored in memory accessible by the multiple scheduler verticals, and a processor updates the information. The scheduler verticals schedule events to be performed by any of the resources, and submit updates to reflect the scheduled events in the information. In the event of conflicting events, an update corresponding to only one of the conflicting events is committed. Moreover, disruptions may be preplanned and scheduled so as to minimize impact on scheduled tasks.

Abstract: A system and method with the following features is disclosed: receiving a partial name of a resource having an attribute moniker and attribute value; receiving a context associated with an attribute space moniker, an attribute moniker and an attribute value; receiving a schema associated with a set that includes an attribute space moniker and an attribute moniker; identifying a missing moniker that is present in the set but not the partial name; adding a missing moniker that is an attribute space moniker to the partial name; when a missing moniker is not an attribute space moniker, identifying a context where the attribute moniker is associated with the missing moniker and an attribute space moniker is present in the partial name or set; adding the context's attribute moniker and attribute value to the partial name; and returning the partial name with the added monikers and attribute values as the full name.

Abstract: A system is provided that includes a memory and one or more processors in communication with the memory. The one or more processors are configured to identify a set of targets and select a first value corresponding to a number of targets from the set of targets that can be concurrently disrupted. A second value is determined that is related to a number of disruptions actually occurring. A disruption request is received for a target of the set of targets. Thereafter, the first value is compared to the second value. Based on the comparison of the first and second values, it is determined whether to resist a requested disruption. If it is determined that the disruption is to be resisted, the requested disruption is resisted. If it is determined that the disruption is not to be resisted, at least one of the first value and the second value are adjusted.

Abstract: A method of verifying the validity of a fully-qualified resource name within an environment including at least two different resource name spaces. The method includes receiving a fully qualified resource name having two or more tokens; and reading a token from the name. If the token represents the start of a name space, adding the name space onto a stack; and reading another token from the name. If read token doesn't represent the start of a name space, determining if it represents an end of the name space. If it does represent the end of the name space, popping the top of the stack as the subsequent token from the name. If it doesn't represent the start or end of the name space, checking if the token is a valid moniker for the name space. If it is valid, reading another token from the name, and otherwise returning an error.
