Abstract
In a distributed computing network, requests for allocation of resources to tenant workloads and messages identifying resource availability are received and aggregated. Resources are allocated to the workloads in accordance with a distribution policy defining values for resource entitlements of the tenants. The values include pre-emption quantities. In response to determining that a quantity of resources allocated for workloads of a first tenant is less than the tenant's pre-emption quantity, processing of another workload from a second tenant is interrupted to re-allocate resources from the second tenant's workload to the first tenant's workload.
