A computer processor allocates a service instance to a first resource of a resource pool, in which the service instance corresponds to performing a first task and for the service instance to continue to occupy the first resource subsequent to task completion, and determines the first resource to be idle. The first resource is returned to a resource pool, with the service instance occupying the first resource as a global standby service instance of a first service. In response to a request of a resource to perform a task from a second application, in which the request for the resource includes a global name associated with the first service of the global standby service instance, occupying the first resource returned to the resource pool, allocating from the resource pool, the first resource occupied by the global standby service instance, based on the global name associated with the first service.
