Technology related to scheduling services on a platform including configurable computing resources is disclosed. In one example, a method includes scheduling a service to execute on a first computing node based on an availability of general-purpose computing resources at the first computing node. The first computing node can be selected from a plurality of computing nodes. Network traffic transiting the first computing node can be analyzed during the execution of the service to determine a hardware accelerator of a second computing node is capable of assisting the execution of the service. The service can be scheduled to execute on the second computing node and the hardware accelerator of the second computing node can be used to assist with the execution of the service.

A second service can be scheduled on the computing node based on the availability of the general-purpose computing resources and the usage of the hardware accelerator on the computing node.
