Abstract
Systems and methods for tracking computing resources are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a workload manager, a workload, wherein the workload is executable on a customer machine, and wherein the customer machine comprises a plurality of computing resources. The workload is analyzed to determine a workload profile. A token associated with the workload is received and associated with the workload profile. The token is authenticated and the workload is executed based at least in part on authentication of the token.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for tracking computing resources, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a workload manager, a workload, wherein the workload is executable on a customer machine, and wherein the customer machine comprises a plurality of computing resources;
- analyzing the workload to determine a workload profile;
- receiving a token associated with the workload and associating the token with the workload profile;
- authenticating the token;
- and
- executing the workload based at least in part on authentication of the token.
A system for tracking computing resources, the system comprising:
- a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the processor configured to:
- receive a workload, wherein the workload is executable on a customer machine, and wherein the customer machine comprises a plurality of computing resources;
- analyze the workload to determine a workload profile;
- receive a token associated with the workload and associating the token with the workload profile;
- authenticate the token;
- and
- execute the workload based at least in part on the token.
A computer program product for tracking computing resources comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, where the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by a workload manager, a workload, wherein the workload is executable on a customer machine, and wherein the customer machine comprises a plurality of computing resources;
- analyzing the workload to determine a workload profile;
- receiving a token associated with the workload and associating the token with the workload profile;
- authenticating the token;
- and
- executing the workload based at least in part on the token.
