👉 Custody computing refers to the allocation and management of computing resources, such as processing power, storage, and network bandwidth, between two or more parties in a shared computing environment. This is commonly used in cloud computing and virtualization to ensure fair resource distribution, optimize performance, and maintain service quality. In a custody computing setup, one party (the custodian) might have primary control over resource allocation, while the other (the non-custodian) receives a share based on predefined rules or agreements. This model is crucial in scenarios like multi-tenant cloud services, where multiple users share the same infrastructure, ensuring that each user's needs are met without compromising the performance of others. Custody computing also involves mechanisms for monitoring, adjusting, and enforcing resource usage policies to prevent over-allocation or underutilization.
