Abstract: A method for executing, in a distributed computing infrastructure (comprising a broker node and work nodes), a job workload having a requirement related to a resource. Test deployment comprises: executing a test workload observing the requirement and varying the resource; for each test workload execution, receiving a metric quantifying a response of the test node to the status of the resource. The broker node: performs the test deployment with the test workload being a measuring workload having the requirement, the test node being a first and second candidate node, and the metric respectively being a first and second metric; determines a cost impact function of the metric; respectively determines a minimum of a first and second total cost function determined from the first and second metric and the cost impact function; and causes an executing node selected from the candidate nodes based on the minima to execute the job workload.
