    摘要: Techniques are disclosed for reclaiming resources within a distributed computing system. A reclamation application searches the distributed computing architecture for unused resources, classifies the unused resources, and determines an expiration period based on the classification. The reclamation application determines a candidate owner of the resource based on one or more characteristics of the resource. The reclamation application then notifies the candidate owner that the resource is to be reclaimed unless claimed by the candidate owner within the expiration period. If the candidate owner claims the resource within the expiration period, then the reclamation application terminates the reclamation of the resource. If the candidate owner does not claim the resource within the expiration period, then the reclamation application reclaims the resource after the duration of the expiration period. Advantageously, this approach to reclaiming resources results in more efficient utilization of resources, lower operation and maintenance costs, and improved system security.

    摘要翻译: 公开了用于在分布式计算系统内回收资源的技术。 回收应用程序在分布式计算架构中搜索未使用的资源,对未使用的资源进行分类,并根据分类确定到期时间。 回收应用程序基于资源的一个或多个特征来确定资源的候选所有者。 填海申请然后通知候选人所有者资源将被回收,除非候选人在有效期内声明。 如果候选人在过期期限内要求资源,则填海申请将终止资源的回收。 如果候选人所有者在到期期限内没有要求资源,则填海申请在到期期限之后回收资源。 有利的是,回收资源可以更有效地利用资源,降低运营和维护成本,提高系统安全性。
