Abstract

A method is provided that includes receiving a tenant identifier. The method also includes identifying a quality of service (QoS) policy associated with a tenant identified by the tenant identifier, by looking up the tenant identifier in a memory data structure. The QoS policy includes a threshold value of a performance parameter. The threshold value is a minimum or a maximum threshold value. The method also includes receiving a service request from the tenant. The method also includes determining an estimated value of the performance parameter in view of the request. The method also includes, responsive to successfully evaluating a validity condition with respect to the estimated value in view of the threshold value, forwarding the request to a servicing component for execution. The validity condition is provided by the estimated value not exceeding the maximum threshold value or the estimated value not falling below the minimum threshold value.
