Abstract: Mechanisms for reserving computing resources of a data processing system are provided. These mechanisms generate one or more computing environment entitlement contract (CEEC) data structures, each CEEC data structure defining terms of a business level agreement between a contracting party and a provider of the data processing system. These mechanisms associate a set of computing resources with a CEEC data structure. The mechanisms then manage the set of one or more computing resources in accordance with the associated CEEC. Such management includes, in response to a contracting party failing to utilize the computing resources in the selected computing resource cohort for a specified purpose at approximately a specified level and pattern of intensity during approximately a specified period of time, all of which are identified in the CEEC data structure, then the CEEC data structure is invalidated or nullified.
