A method for operating a system comprising multiple resources. The method comprises identifying for each resource a set of one or more failure risks for that resource. For each identified failure risk, a likelihood of failure is combined with an expected resolution time to provide a risk weight for the identified failure risk. For each resource, the risk weights for each failure risk are accumulated to provide an accumulated risk weight for the resource. A resource manager provisions workload across the multiple resources based on the accumulated risk weights for each resource.
