Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to schedule jobs in a cloud computing infrastructure by receiving in a first queue jobs with deadlines or constraints specified in a hard service level agreement (SLA); receiving in a second queue jobs with a penalty cost metric specified in a soft SLA; and minimizing both constraint violation count and total penalty cost in the cloud computing infrastructure by identifying jobs with deadlines in the first queue and delaying jobs in the first queue within a predetermined slack range in favor of jobs in the second queue to improve the penalty cost metric.
