A method for transitioning a computing environment from a connected standby state corresponding to a low power consumption state of the computing environment in which particular processes having an exempt classification are allowed to execute, while other processes are either suspended into a non-executing suspended state and/or throttled between the execution state and the non-executing suspended state, to an execution state, comprising: detecting an exit connected standby request associated with a computing environment; and transitioning the computing environment from a connected standby state to an execution state, comprising: - for respective suspended processes assigned a suspend classification, restoring execution functionality to a suspended process so that upon restoring in the execution state such processes execute as normal, where the suspend classification corresponds to whether a process is able to be suspended without a failure of the computing environment and/or the process and/or whether limited runtime functionality associated with the process is not desired; - for respective throttled processes assigned a throttling classification, restoring execution functionality to a throttled process by unapplying a throttling schedule that was applied to the throttled process, where the throttling classification corresponds to whether a process can be throttled without a computing system failure and/or whether limited runtime functionality associated with the process is desired, where execution functionality is restored to a throttled process before execution functionality is restored to a suspended process for processes assigned an exempt classification, and - for respective processes assigned an exempt classification, continuing execution functionality, where the exempt classification corresponds to whether the process cannot be throttled without the computing system failure and limited runtime functionality associated with the process is desired. detecting an exit connected standby request associated with a computing environment; and transitioning the computing environment from a connected standby state to an execution state, comprising: - for respective suspended processes assigned a suspend classification, restoring execution functionality to a suspended process so that upon restoring in the execution state such processes execute as normal, where the suspend classification corresponds to whether a process is able to be suspended without a failure of the computing environment and/or the process and/or whether limited runtime functionality associated with the process is not desired; - for respective throttled processes assigned a throttling classification, restoring execution functionality to a throttled process by unapplying a throttling schedule that was applied to the throttled process, where the throttling classification corresponds to whether a process can be throttled without a computing system failure and/or whether limited runtime functionality associated with the process is desired, where execution functionality is restored to a throttled process before execution functionality is restored to a suspended process for processes assigned an exempt classification, and - for respective processes assigned an exempt classification, continuing execution functionality, where the exempt classification corresponds to whether the process cannot be throttled without the computing system failure and limited runtime functionality associated with the process is desired. - for respective suspended processes assigned a suspend classification, restoring execution functionality to a suspended process so that upon restoring in the execution state such processes execute as normal, where the suspend classification corresponds to whether a process is able to be suspended without a failure of the computing environment and/or the process and/or whether limited runtime functionality associated with the process is not desired; - for respective throttled processes assigned a throttling classification, restoring execution functionality to a throttled process by unapplying a throttling schedule that was applied to the throttled process, where the throttling classification corresponds to whether a process can be throttled without a computing system failure and/or whether limited runtime functionality associated with the process is desired, where execution functionality is restored to a throttled process before execution functionality is restored to a suspended process for processes assigned an exempt classification, and - for respective processes assigned an exempt classification, continuing execution functionality, where the exempt classification corresponds to whether the process cannot be throttled without the computing system failure and limited runtime functionality associated with the process is desired.
