Abstract
The subject disclosure is directed towards automatically managing job request execution for a computer cluster using cloud computing resource allocations. When client computers to the computer cluster submit job requests to a head node, a set of job requests is selected based on a policy. The head node converts the set of job requests into a set of resource allocation requests based on job specification data. After communicating the resource allocation requests to a cloud computing provider, the head node is granted access and control over one or more worker nodes as a response. The worker nodes proceed to execute the set of job requests and update the head node with status information once the execution finishes.
