Wsrm2

Wsrm2 is a fictional next-generation resource management framework envisioned as a successor to Windows System Resource Manager (WSRM) for enterprise Windows Server deployments. It is described as providing centralized control over CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network bandwidth for processes, services, and virtualized workloads, enabling policy-based allocation and performance isolation.

The design emphasizes policy-driven governance, with a policy engine that defines resource shares, caps, and priorities across tenants, workloads, and roles. It introduces dynamic resizing that can adjust allocations in response to workload signals, and it supports multi-tenant environments, Hyper-V virtual machines, and containerized workloads. Observability is enhanced through richer telemetry, dashboards, and an extensible REST API for automation and integration with IT service management tools.

Architecturally, Wsrm2 is described as consisting of a central Scheduler, a Policy Engine, a Telemetry/Instrumentation layer, and lightweight Agents or Bridges installed on managed servers. It includes a compatibility layer to facilitate migration from legacy WSRM configurations and supports on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-connected deployments. Security and auditing features are highlighted, including policy versioning, change controls, and tamper-resistant logging.

In fictional discussions, Wsrm2 is portrayed as an evolution addressing cloud-scale demand, improved isolation, and easier administration, but it remains a hypothetical concept without an official release or documentation.
