AllocationEntscheidungen
AllocationEnts (Allocation Entities) are autonomous agents designed to manage resource distribution within computing environments. They operate in distributed systems to allocate resources such as CPU time, memory, I/O bandwidth, and storage among competing workloads while meeting policy and service-level objectives. The concept arose from the need to coordinate multi-tenant and multi-application workloads in data centers, cloud platforms, and high-performance computing clusters, where static allocation is insufficient for fluctuating demand.
AllocationEnts can be centralized, where a single authority computes resource shares, or decentralized, where a federation
In practice, AllocationEnts interface with resource controllers and orchestration layers to assign vCPU, memory, I/O bandwidth,
Challenges include policy conflicts, footprint and latency of decision-making, scalability in large clusters, and security risks
