Abstract
A network device includes computing resources for utilization by processes hosted by the network device and a computing resources manager. The computing resources manager automatically instantiate a new instance of a first process of the processes upon termination of the first process; makes a determination that the network device has entered an out of computing resources state; and in response to the determination: performs an action set to increase a quantity of the computing resources that are available for allocation to the processes.
Claims17
A network device, comprising:
- computing resources for utilization by processes hosted by the network device;
- and
- a computing resources manager programmed to:
- automatically instantiate a new instance of a first process of the processes upon termination of the first process;
- make a determination that the network device has entered an out of computing resources state;
- and
- in response to the determination:
- perform an action set to increase a quantity of the computing resources that are available for allocation to the processes, wherein the action set comprises:
- preventing the new instance of the first process from being automatically instantiated by the computing resources manager.
A method, comprising:
- automatically instantiating a new instance of a first process of processes upon termination of the first process, wherein the processes are hosted by a network device, wherein the processes utilize computing resources of the network device;
- making a determination that the network device has entered an out of computing resources state;
- and
- in response to the determination:
- performing an action set to increase a quantity of the computing resources that are available for allocation to the processes, wherein the action set comprises preventing the new instance of the first process from being automatically instantiated by the network device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- automatically instantiating a new instance of a first process of processes upon termination of the first process, wherein the processes are hosted by a network device, wherein the processes utilize computing resources of the network device;
- making a determination that the network device has entered an out of computing resources state;
- and
- in response to the determination:
- performing an action set to increase a quantity of the computing resources that are available for allocation to the processes, wherein the action set comprises preventing the new instance of the first process from being automatically instantiated by the network device.
