  • Publication number: 20250039186
    Abstract: A method includes assigning a plurality of workloads to an isolated secure compute environment on a distributed computing system based on respective security criteria for each of the plurality of workloads, the isolated secure compute environment isolated from one or more other isolated secure compute environments on the distributed computing system. While executing the plurality of workloads in the isolated secure compute environment on the distributed computing system, the method also includes determining resource utilization for the isolated secure compute environment, and adjusting, using the determined resource utilization, a number of computing resources assigned to the isolated secure compute environment.

  • Patent number: 12137101
    Abstract: A method for workload security rings that includes receiving a plurality of workloads, each associated with respective security criteria and scheduled for execution on a distributed computing system divided into a plurality of security rings each associated with a respective subset of computing devices of the distributed computing system that is physically isolated from the other security rings. For each respective workload, the method includes determining, using the respective security criteria, a security level of the respective workload and identifying, using the security level of the respective workload, one or more of the plurality of security rings that are eligible for executing the respective workload. The method also includes executing the respective workload on one or more computing devices selected from one of the respective subsets of computing devices associated with the identified one or more of the plurality of security rings eligible for executing the respective workload.
