Abstract:
1. A method comprising: reserving resources in a compute environment under a first reservation for consumption by a workload to yield reserved resources, wherein the compute environment comprises a plurality of network nodes and wherein the first reservation of resources is in a window of time in which a user submits personal reservations; receiving a personal reservation for the use of the reserved resources within the window of time; providing access to the reserved resources for the personal reservation to process the workload; monitoring events associated with the workload consuming the reserved resources to yield a monitored event; and based on the monitored event and after the workload begins to consume the reserved resources, dynamically modifying the first reservation to establish a second reservation such that the workload, before completing, consumes different resources than would have been consumed under the first reservation, wherein if a received consumption workload associated with the personal reservation will exceed the window of time for the first reservation of resources, then the method comprises canceling and locking out the personal reservation from access to the reserved resources.
