Central processing units (CPUs) are configured to support host access instruction(s) that are associated with accessing solid state storage. A resource management module, implemented independently of the CPUs, receives a resource allocation request that includes a usage type identifier and requested amount of a resource, where the usage type identifier is associated with a group identifier. Adjustable resource configuration information is accessed to obtain: (1) a maximum associated with the usage type identifier, (2) a minimum associated with the usage type identifier, and (3) a group limit associated with the group identifier. Resource state information is accessed and it is determine whether to grant the request based at least in part on the maximum, minimum, group limit, and resource state information. The resource allocation request is then granted or denied based on the determination.
