Cluster Workload Priority

Cluster Workload Priority is a compute scheduling signal that tells the platform which work matters most when capacity is constrained for group of machines acting as one platform. It uses priority classes, preemption rules, and fairness limits so teams can protect critical paths while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The platform engineering team used Cluster Workload Priority when the cluster added a node pool, so the team could protect critical paths before the workload scaled up.”
