US 11,962,512 B2 · Dynamically re-allocating computing resources while maintaining network connection(s)

Abstract

Techniques are described herein that are capable of dynamically re-allocating computing resources while maintaining network connection(s). Applications of users are run in a computing unit. Computing resources are allocated among the applications based at least in part on dynamic demands of the applications for the computing resources and resource limits associated with the respective customers. In a first example, the computing resources are dynamically re-allocated among the applications, as a result of changing the resource limit of at least one customer, while maintaining at least one network connection between a client device of each customer and at least one respective application. In a second example, the computing resources are dynamically re-allocated among the applications, as a result of changing the resource limit of at least one customer, while maintaining at least one network connection between an interface and a client device of each customer.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

memory;
and
a processing system coupled to the memory, the processing system configured to:
run an application of a customer of a multi-tenant software service in a common computing unit, which is a virtual machine or a container and which is shared with other customers of the multi-tenant software service;
allocate a first proportion of computing resources to the application in the common computing unit based at least on dynamic demand of the application for the computing resources and further based at least on a resource limit of the customer, the resource limit indicating a maximum amount of the computing resources that is capable of being allocated to the customer;
and
dynamically allocate a second proportion of the computing resources, which is different from the first proportion, to the application in the common computing unit, as a result of changing the resource limit of the customer, while maintaining a network connection between an interface, which is between a client device of the customer and the application, and the client device of the customer.

A method, which is implemented by a computing system, comprising:

running an application of a customer of a multi-tenant software service in a common computing unit, which is a virtual machine or a container and which is shared with other customers of the multi-tenant software service;
allocating a first proportion of computing resources to the application in the common computing unit based at least on dynamic demand of the application for the computing resources and further based at least on a resource limit of the customer, the resource limit indicating a maximum amount of the computing resources that is capable of being allocated to the customer;
and
dynamically allocating a second proportion of the computing resources, which is different from the first proportion, to the application in the common computing unit, as a result of changing the resource limit of the customer, while maintaining a network connection between a client device of the customer and the application.
