Abstract
A method for efficiently using resources (e.g., memory devices) in data centers of a distributed storage system includes identifying high-availability jobs and low-availability jobs that demand usage of resources of the distributed system. The method further includes allocating resource usage to the jobs, determining a first load of the jobs on resources available during a failure event, and determining a second load of the jobs on the resources lost during the failure event. The method includes determining a scaled third load of the jobs on the resources available during the failure event based on the first and second loads and reallocating resource usage assigned to the low-availability jobs to the high-availability jobs during the failure event. The reallocation is associated with the scaled third load of the jobs.
