Abstract
In one example, a method for identifying and allocating resources in a computing system, including checking, while one or more backup processes are running, database connections in an auto scaling group to determine if a number of database connections in use in connection with the backup processes has decreased since a prior check was performed. When the number of database connections in use has decreased, an identification is made as to which of a plurality of queues each respectively associated with one of the backup processes has the greatest need for additional database connections. Next, various metrics are evaluated and, based on the evaluation of the metrics, one or more available database connections are assigned to the queue with the greatest need for additional database connections.
