Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for managing workloads in compute clusters comprising compute nodes by managing the workloads at the resource level of the compute clusters. For example, virtual service contexts (VSCs) may be defined where the VSCs represent service classes. Policies may be defined with respect to each service class. These service classes are dynamically constructed based on business needs. Hence there is natural requirement for a user to construct and rebalance the compute resources for these service classes dynamically. The policies may be related to resources of the compute clusters for executing workload units in the compute clusters. Resources of the compute clusters may be allocated to each service class. Each workload unit may be assigned to a one of the service classes based on the service context or type of workload unit. The workload units may then be executed by the compute clusters using the resources in accordance with the policies.
