The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for reducing placement conflicts between allocation agents tasked with allocating computing resources on a computing zone. For example, systems disclosed herein may identify placement conflicts between multiple allocation agents processing incoming placement requests on a computing zone. The systems disclosed herein may further modify a placement policy based on the number of placement conflicts by reducing one or more restrictions on rules for allocating computing resources. For example, the systems disclosed herein may enlarge a placement zone of server nodes when allocating computing resources to prevent or otherwise reduce conflicts between multiple allocation agents implementing the same placement policies. By reducing allocation restrictions and enlarging a placement zone, the systems described herein may significantly reduce placement conflicts while still optimizing placement of services on nodes of a cloud computing system.
