Abstract
A mechanism for idling an application in a multi-tenant cloud hosting environment is disclosed. A method of the invention includes detecting, by a reverse proxy of a node of a cloud computing architecture, a lack of minimum usage of an application hosted on the node, the application being one of a plurality of applications being hosted on the node and instructing the node to shut down the application in response. The reverse proxy is then; and reconfigured to point to a restarter instead of the application, wherein the restarter restarts the application in response to detecting an access to the application.
