Dynamic usage of storage and processing unit allocation

A computing device comprising:

• at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a transition from a first type of usage associated with a first quantity of storage and processing resources to a second type of usage associated with a second quantity of storage and processing resources;
• in response to detecting the transition, instructing a dynamic unit allocation system to adjust a collection of units reserved for the computing device from a first amount of resources associated with the first type of usage to a second amount of resources associated with the second type of usage;
• selecting one or more asynchronous tasks that utilize more than the second quantity of storage and processing resources;
• and
• during a period of time that the dynamic unit allocation system is adjusting the collection of units, causing the one or more asynchronous tasks to be executed.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that includes instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a transition from a first type of usage associated with a first quantity of storage and processing resources to a second type of usage associated with a second quantity of storage and processing resources;
• in response to detecting the transition, instructing a dynamic unit allocation system to adjust a collection of units reserved for the computing device from a first amount of resources associated with the first type of usage to a second amount of resources associated with the second type of usage;
• selecting one or more asynchronous tasks that utilize more than the second quantity of storage and processing resources;
• and
• during a period of time that the dynamic unit allocation system is adjusting the collection of units, causing the one or more asynchronous tasks to be executed by the dynamic allocation system.
