Enhanced application request based scheduling on heterogeneous elements of information technology infrastructure

摘要

A method includes receiving an application request comprising specifications for a given application workload, selecting a given hardware configuration for the given application workload using one or more hardware configuration templates and information identifying a plurality of heterogeneous elements of the information technology infrastructure, modifying the application request to generate an enhanced application request specifying the given hardware configuration, and providing the enhanced application request to a scheduler, the enhanced application request being utilizable by the scheduler to select from the plurality of heterogeneous elements of the information technology infrastructure to schedule the given application workload.
