Usage instrumented workload scheduling

A method comprising:

• tracking respective usage patterns of a plurality of accounts including a first account;
• receiving a first workload, wherein the first account has a first account factor based on the respective usage patterns in historical profile data of the first account and a second account factor of whether a user is actively logged into the first account;
• recording, as the second account factor, that the user is actively logged into the first account when the first workload is received;
• combining the first account factor and the second account factor into an account priority score;
• assigning the first workload to a first workload type of a plurality of workload types;
• and
• assigning the first workload to a first plurality of guests based on the first workload type and the account priority score based on the first account factor and the second account factor.

A system comprising:

• a first plurality of hosts and a different second plurality of hosts;
• an orchestrator including a profile repository, a workload repository, and a scheduler executing on one or more processors to:
• receive a first workload from a first account with a first profile in the profile repository, wherein the first account has a first account factor based on usage patterns in historical profile data of the first account and a second account factor of whether a user is actively logged into the first account;
• record, as the second account factor, that the user is actively logged into the first account when the first workload is received;
• combine the first account factor and the second account factor into an account priority score;
• schedule the first workload to the first plurality of hosts based on the first profile;
• determine that the first plurality of hosts lacks compute capacity for the first workload;
• evict, based on the workload repository, a second workload executing on the first plurality of hosts;
• and
• assign, by the scheduler, the first workload to the first plurality of hosts based on the account priority score, based on the first account factor and the second account factor, and the second workload to the second plurality of hosts.
