Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for lottery-based resource allocation with capacity guarantees are disclosed. A job request is received from a first client. The job request is submitted to a capacity management system that schedules jobs in a pool of compute resources. The pool comprises a first quantity of one or more slots and a second quantity of one or more slots. The second quantity is associated with a capacity guarantee for a second client. It is determined that the first quantity of one or more slots are in use by one or more jobs initiated prior to receiving the job request. It is determined that the second quantity of one or more slots comprises an available slot. The available slot is allocated to the job request.
