Abstract
An example system receives certificate requests from clients. Each request indicates: a number of computerized devices needing certificates; a timestamp indicating when the request was transmitted; and a client. The system includes a Quality of Service (QoS) manager that: distributes the requests from the clients across client queues, each of the client queues corresponding to a particular client; and divides requests into smaller subgroups of entries corresponding to a subset of the computerized devices needing certificates. It also includes a QoS arbiter that selects a sequence of entries from the client queues to be placed onto a QoS queue based on a number of entries in the QoS queue, a latency level of a certificate management service, and timestamps indicating when requests were transmitted, where the QoS manager retrieves entries from the QoS queue in the sequence selected by the QoS arbiter and transmits them to the certificate management service.
