Dynamic property volatility assignment and assessment for distributed manageable resources

A system for dynamic property volatility assessment for distributed manageable resources, comprising:

• a data storage system comprising a cache;
• and
• a resource cache manager configured to execute on a distributed resource manager and communicate with the data storage system, one or more client systems, and one or more remote resource providers, the resource cache manager further configured to perform:
• determining whether a property value of a remote resource at the one or more remote resource providers has an associated volatility measurement;
• receiving metadata comprising the associated volatility measurement, wherein the associated volatility measurement is one of:
• a time value of expected duration of the property value and a refresh frequency of the property value;
• wherein the associated volatility measurement is assigned at a class-level for the remote resource and the associated volatility measurement augments one of:
• a mutability qualifier and a modifiability qualifier;
• in response to determining that the property value of the remote resource has the associated volatility measurement, invoking a network transaction to retrieve the property value at an interval that is less than or equal to one corresponding to the associated volatility measurement;
• and
• in response to determining that the property value of the remote resource does not have an associated volatility measurement:
• performing a frequency-based assessment comparing a frequency of change for the property value and a frequency of access from the one or more client systems for the property value;
• and
• storing the property value in the cache in response to comparing the frequency-based assessment to a threshold value.

A computer program product for dynamic property volatility assessment for distributed manageable resources, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for implementing a method, the method comprising:
• determining whether a property value of a remote resource has an associated volatility measurement;
• receiving metadata comprising the associated volatility measurement, wherein the associated volatility measurement is one of:
• a time value of expected duration of the property value and a refresh frequency of the property value;
• wherein the associated volatility measurement is assigned at a class-level for the remote resource and the associated volatility measurement augments one of:
• a mutability qualifier and a modifiability qualifier;
• in response to determining that the property value of the remote resource has the associated volatility measurement, invoking a network transaction to retrieve the property value at an interval that is less than or equal to one corresponding to the associated volatility measurement;
• and
• in response to determining that the property value of the remote resource does not include the associated volatility measurement:
• performing a frequency-based assessment comparing a frequency of change and a frequency of access for the property value;
• and
• caching the property value in response to comparing the frequency-based assessment to a threshold value.
