👉 Reservation computing is a paradigm that extends cloud computing by enabling users to reserve and manage computational resources, such as virtual machines, storage, and network bandwidth, in a more flexible and efficient manner. It allows applications to reserve these resources in advance, ensuring they are available when needed, without the need for manual provisioning. This approach is particularly useful in heterogeneous environments where resources come from multiple providers, as it abstracts the underlying infrastructure and provides a unified interface for resource allocation. Reservation computing enhances scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency by optimizing resource utilization and enabling dynamic allocation based on real-time demand.
