DIFFERENTIAL OVERBOOKING IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

Techniques for differential overbooking on a cloud database. These techniques may include determining a reservation amount of a multi-tenant resource for a first service of a based upon an overbooking characteristic of the first service, and determining that a total usage value of the multi-tenant resource by a plurality of services is greater than a threshold value. In addition, the techniques may include determining a service usage value of the multi-tenant resource by the first service, determining a first overage value of the first service based on the service usage value and the reservation amount, and performing a resource reclamation process over the multi-tenant resource based on the first overage value of the first service.
