Abstract
In a system, such as a cloud, which allows resource allocation to be flexibly changed in a multi-tenant environment, it is necessary to interchange resources between the tenants. Efficient resource coordination for resource allocation cannot be attained by merely adjusting resource allocation amounts or resource usage amounts. In order to address this problem, the present invention selects an optimum allocation method from among a plurality of resource allocation methods including CPU capping, taking into account each period for which resources must be allocated and the manner in which each tenant uses resources, and then coordinates allocation of resources across the entire system using the selected allocation method. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency of resource coordination even in a multi-tenant environment.
