A method and system of managing resource lease duration for on-demand computing is provided. The system can include one or more resources having a metric capturing tool; and a provisioning manager in communication with the one or more resources. The provisioning manager can receive a request for at least one resource from the requester. The provisioning manager can provision the at least one resource from the one or more resources. The metric capturing tool can communicate one or more metrics associated with performance of the at least one resource to the provisioning manager. The provisioning manager can determine a lease modifier based at least in part on the one or more metrics. The provisioning manager can adjust a lease duration for the at least one resource based at least in part on the lease modifier.

Managing resource lease duration using a lease modifier as a function of resource utilization metric and initial decay rate value for on-demand computing

A method and system of managing resources for on-demand computing is provided. The system can include one or more pools having resources, and a provisioning manager in communication with the one or more pools. The provisioning manager can receive a request for a resource from the requestor and can obtain values for one or more categories associated with the resources. The values can be obtained for at least a portion of the resources. The one or more categories can be based on quantifiable properties associated with the resources. The provisioning manager can determine a priority score for each of the at least a portion of the resources. The provisioning manager can determine a resource from the at least a portion of the resources to be distributed to the requester, where the determination can be based at least in part on the priority score for the resource.
