Providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system
First Claim
1. A method of providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system,the computing system comprising one or more compute nodes, each compute node comprising a separate operating system, each operating system further comprising a kernel and a plurality of operating system services of a service type, the method comprising:
- establishing, on at least one compute node, a kernel policy specifying one of the operating system services of the service type for use by the kernel in the operating system;
establishing a performance ruleset, the performance ruleset specifying rules for analyzing the performance of the computing system;
measuring performance of the computing system; and
adjusting the kernel policy in dependence upon the performance ruleset and the measured performance.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, products are disclosed for providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system. The computing system includes at least one compute node. The compute node includes an operating system. The operating system includes a kernel and a plurality of operating system services of a service type. Providing policy-based operating system services in an operating system on a computing system includes establishing, on the compute node, a kernel policy specifying one of the operating system services of the service type for use by the kernel in the operating system, establishing a performance ruleset, the performance ruleset specifying rules for analyzing the performance of the computing system, measuring performance of the computing system, and adjusting the kernel policy in dependence upon the performance ruleset and the measured performance.
