System and method for providing dynamic roll-back reservations in time

A computer-readable storage device that stores instructions which, when executed by a computing device to manage compute resources in a multi-node compute environment, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying compute resources within a compute environment to yield identified data;
• based on the identified data, creating a policy-enforcing mechanism that manages and constrains establishment of reservations of compute resources for use by workload;
• and
• establishing a reservation for compute resources within the compute environment, wherein the establishing of the reservation is either constrained by the policy-enforcing mechanism or not constrained by the policy enforcing mechanism based on whether a request matches a parameter.

A system for managing compute resources within a multi-node compute environment, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• identifying compute resources within a compute environment to yield identified data;
• based on the identified data, creating a policy-enforcing mechanism that manages and constrains establishment of reservations of compute resources for use by workload;
• and
• establishing a reservation for compute resources within the compute environment, wherein the establishing of the reservation is either constrained by the policy-enforcing mechanism or not constrained by the policy enforcing mechanism based on whether a request matches a parameter.
