Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying a primary computing platform, identifying one or more secondary computing platforms, and identifying a requesting virtual server. The requesting virtual server resides on the primary computing platform and is associated with one or more requesting clients. One or more donating virtual servers are identified. The donating virtual servers reside on the primary computing platform and are associated with one or more donating clients. One or more external virtual servers are identified. The external virtual servers reside on the secondary computing platforms. A resource donation scenario is determined. The resource donation scenario includes one or more resource exchanges between the requesting virtual server and the donating virtual servers. A resource adjustment scenario is determined. The resource adjustment scenario includes one or more resource exchanges between the external virtual servers.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for invoking a restricted access service through a RESTful interface are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include: measuring, by the processing device, an idle time that represents an amount of time that an application is idle; measuring, by the processing device, an execution time that represents an amount of time that the application takes to execute a RESTful application program interface request; calculating, by the processing device, an average time for the application, wherein the average time is based on the idle time and the execution time over a selectable interval; and responsive to determining that the average time does not exceed a first threshold, initiating, by the processing device, a new instance of the application.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for routing a representational state transfer (REST) request among a plurality of virtual processing systems are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include: receiving, at a load balancer, the REST request; assigning, by the load balancer, the REST request to one of a plurality of web servers, each of the plurality of web servers executing on a virtual processing system; routing, by the one of the plurality of web servers, the REST request to one of the plurality of virtual processing systems; and storing, by the one of the plurality of web servers, state information regarding the REST request to a data store.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for invoking a restricted access service through a representational state transfer (RESTful) interface are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include: receiving, at a web server, a RESTful application program interface (API) request to access a RESTful API from a user on a mobile device; determining whether the user is authorized to access the RESTful API using an authorization service; responsive to determining that the user is authorized to access the RESTful API, routing the RESTful API request from the web server to the restricted access service to process the request; receiving, by the web server, return data from the restricted access service after processing the request; and invoking a data transformer associated with the RESTful API to transform the return data into transformed data.
