Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system. The computing system includes at least one compute node. The compute node includes an operating system that includes a kernel and a plurality of operating system services of a service type. Providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system includes establishing, on the compute node, a kernel policy specifying one of the operating system services of the service type for use in the operating system, and accessing, by the kernel, the specified operating system service. The computing system may also be implemented as a distributed computing system that includes one or more operating system service nodes. One or more of the operating system services may be distributed among the operating system service nodes.
A method of providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system,
A computing system for providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system, the computing system comprising at least one compute node, the compute node comprising an operating system, the operating system further comprising a kernel and a plurality of operating system services of a service type, the computing system further comprising computer processors and computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processors, the computer memory also having disposed within it computer program instructions capable of:
A computer program product for providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system, the computing system comprising at least one compute node, the compute node comprising an operating system, the operating system further comprising a kernel and a plurality of operating system services of a service type, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable recordable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions capable of:
