👉 Credits computing, also known as crediting or credit allocation, is a process used in various computing environments to distribute computational resources, such as CPU time, memory, or storage, among tasks or users based on predefined rules or policies. This mechanism ensures efficient resource utilization and fairness, especially in cloud computing and distributed systems where multiple users or processes compete for limited resources. Credits are typically allocated at the start of a session or project and can be consumed as resources are used, allowing for flexible and dynamic allocation. When a user or task consumes credits, they may need to replenish them by paying for the resources consumed, often through a billing system. This approach helps manage costs and ensures that no single entity monopolizes resources, promoting a balanced and efficient computing environment.
