Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling cache usage are described and include associating, by a server computing system, a tenant in a multi-tenant environment with a cache cluster formed by a group of cache instances; associating, by the server computing system, a memory threshold and a burst memory threshold with the tenant; enabling, by the server computing system, each of the cache instances to collect metrics information based on the tenant accessing the cache cluster, the metrics information used to determine memory usage information and burst memory usage information of the cache cluster by the tenant; and controlling, by the server computing system, usage of the cache cluster by the tenant based on comparing the memory usage information with the memory threshold and comparing the burst memory usage information with the burst memory threshold.
