Sender system status-aware load balancing

A system for facilitating workload processing, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing circuit communicatively coupled with a memory, wherein the system performs a method comprising:
• facilitating workload processing in a data processing environment including a sender system, a load balancer and a plurality of target resources, the sender system sending workloads to the load balancer and the load balancer distributing the workloads to the plurality of target resources for processing, the facilitating workload processing comprising:
• receiving, by the load balancer, sender status-related information indicative of a workload capacity issue from the sender system view related, at least in part, to the sending of the workloads to the load balancer, the workload capacity issue including a workload capacity concern from the sender system view related, at least in part, to the sending of the workloads to the load balancer;
• and
• distributing, by the workload balancer, one or more workloads of the sender system workloads to one or more target resources of the plurality of target resources in a manner based, at least in part, upon the received sender status-related information.

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium readable by one or more processors and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors for performing a method comprising:
• facilitating workload processing in a data processing environment including a sender system, a load balancer and a plurality of target resources, the sender system sending workloads to the load balancer and the load balancer distributing the workloads to the plurality of target resources for processing, the facilitating workload processing comprising:
• receiving, by the load balancer, sender status-related information indicative of a workload capacity issue from the sender system view related, at least in part, to the sending of the workloads to the load balancer, the workload capacity issue including a workload capacity concern from the sender system view related, at least in part, to the sending of the workloads to the load balancer;
• and
• distributing, by the workload balancer, one or more workloads of the sender system workloads to one or more target resources of the plurality of target resources in a manner based, at least in part, upon the received sender status-related information.
