1. A method, comprising: receiving indication of an update to a device; determining whether the update has been applied to the device; limiting availability of computational resources at the device, including at least one of memory and processor resources, available to be assigned to execute processes at the device in response to determining that the update has not been applied to the device, wherein the limiting of the availability of the computational resources degrades performance at the device; executing processes at the device using the limited available computational resources after the limiting of the availability of the computational resources; determining whether the update has been applied to the device after limiting the availability of the computational resources; and reversing the limiting of the availability of the computational resources at the device in response to determining that the update to the device was applied.
