  • Autonomous resource governor in distributed systems for protecting shared resources
    Patent number: 10637919
    Abstract: Variety of approaches to provide an autonomous governor in a distributed system for preserving a shared resource are described. A hosted service initiates operations to provide the autonomous governor upon determining the shared resource to be managed. An initial lease count is designated to the shared resource. The initial lease count corresponds to an estimated capacity of the shared resource. Next, an assigned lease count is determined by incrementing or decrementing the initial lease count based on a detected actual capacity of the shared resource. Upon detecting a steady state of the assigned lease count, the assigned lease count is incremented to determine whether the actual capacity of the shared resource is increased.
