Abstract

An approach for deploying workload in a multi-tenancy computing environment is provided. The approach generates, by one or more computer processors, a tenant ID and a plan ID for a tenant based, at least in part, on a tenant registration request. The approach stores, by one or more computer processors, the tenant ID and the plan ID into a shared system record. The approach receives, by one or more computer processors, a request to update a first tenant service plan. The approach determines, by one or more computer processors, one or more resource pools supporting a second tenant service plan based at least in part, on an association between the tenant ID and the plan ID. The approach deploys, by one or more computer processors, one or more resources from the one or more resource pools supporting the second tenant service plan.

Claims

1. A method for deploying workload in a multi-tenancy computing environment, the method comprising:

generating, by one or more computer processors, a tenant ID and a plan ID for a tenant based, at least in part, on a tenant registration request;

storing, by one or more computer processors, the tenant ID and the plan ID into a shared system record;

receiving, by one or more computer processors, a request to update a first tenant service plan;

determining, by one or more computer processors, one or more resource pools supporting a second tenant service plan based at least in part, on an association between the tenant ID and the plan ID;

deploying, by one or more computer processors, one or more resources from the one or more resource pools supporting the second tenant service plan;

determining, by one or more computer processors, a pool for supporting a new service plan requested based, at least in part, on a type of service plan and a pricing plan associated with the type of service plan;

wherein the type of service plan includes at least one of a shared service plan and a dedicated service plan; and

wherein the pricing plan associated with the type of service plan includes at least one of a free pricing plan and a premium pricing plan.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein generating a tenant ID and a plan ID, further comprises:

determining, by one or more computer processors, whether a tenant exists in a tenant table, wherein said determining includes extracting one or more tenant identifiers from the tenant registration request and searching the tenant table for information matching at least one of the one or more tenant identifiers; and

responsive to a determination that no information in the tenant table matches at least one of the one or more tenant identifiers, determining, by one or more computer processors, that the tenant does not exist in the tenant table.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein storing a tenant ID and a plan ID into a shared system record, further comprises:

associating, by one or more computer processors, the tenant ID with the plan ID in a database;

storing, by one or more computer processors, the plan ID in a service table, wherein storing includes associating the plan ID with the one or more resource pools; and

storing, by one or more computer processors, the one or more resource pools in a pool table.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the request to update a tenant service plan includes one or more of a tenant ID and a type of service plan requested.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining one or more resource pools supporting a new tenant service plan, further comprises:

determining, by one or more computer processors, a resource pool allocated to a first plan ID associated with a tenant ID from the request to update the tenant service plan.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein determining a resource pool allocated to a first plan ID associated with a tenant ID from the request to update the tenant service plan, further comprises:

retrieving, by one or more computer processors, the plan ID associated with the tenant ID from a database; and

retrieving, by one or more computer processors, a resource pool associated with the plan ID from a database, where the resource pool associated with the plan ID indicates a resource allocated to the plan ID.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein deploying one or more resources from the one or more resource pools supporting the first tenant service plan, further comprises:

determining, by one or more computer processors, a plurality of virtual machines allocated to the one or more resource pools; and

provisioning, by one or more computer processors;

one or more job artifacts to the plurality of virtual machines allocated to the one or more resource pools.
