System and method for managing a hybrid compute environment

A system for managing a hybrid compute environment, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an instruction from a workload manager to provision at least one node in the hybrid compute environment from a first operating system to a second operating system, wherein each node in the hybrid compute environment communicates with a first resource manager associated with the first operating system and a second resource manager associated with the second operating system;
• after provisioning the second operating system, pooling at least one signal from the first resource manager associated with the at least one node;
• processing at least one signal from the second resource manager associated with the at least one node;
• and
• managing consumption of resources associated with the at least one node having the second operating system provisioned thereon.

A system for managing workload, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• periodically performing an analysis of a hybrid compute environment having a first node with a first operating system associated with a first resource manager and a second node with a second operating system associated with a second resource manager to determine how well the hybrid computing environment complies with an established policy associated with a distribution of the first operating system and the second operating system;
• and
• based on the analysis, changing the first node from the first operating system to the second operating system.
