Summary:Techniques are described for allocating computing resources to a task from a shared hardware structure. The techniques may involve receiving a request to execute a task for a tenant on shared hardware resources, and determining a set of computing resources for allocation to the task based on a service level agreement associated with the tenant. The set of computing resources can be allocated to the task based on the service level agreement associated with the tenant. In some aspects, one or more performance counters associated with one or more of the computing resources can be monitored to determine an activity level for the one or more computing resources during execution of the task, and one or more allocations of the computing resources for execution of the task can be adjusted based on the activity level for the one or more computing resources.
