A service control manager manages one or more services on a computing device, such as creating processes that host the services, stopping the processes that host the services, and so forth. The service control manager also provides a request to a resource manager to reserve, monitor, and/or place limitations on resources for each of the one or more services. For example, the service control manager can request to be notified when resource usage by a service exceeds a resource usage threshold value. These resources are various resources of the computing device, such as a processor (CPU), memory, storage device input/output (I/O), network usage, and so forth. If the usage of a resource by a service satisfies the resource usage threshold value for that resource for that service, then the resource manager notifies the service control manager so the service control manager can take an appropriate remedial action.
