Introducing Job Priority​

Workspace admins can set a Job Priority policy that lets users defer eligible jobs to start in daily off-peak hours in the next 24 hours. Users can also take advantage of Job Priority without needing a set policy from admins by opting into the deferred start time on their own. A discount on compute infrastructure costs will be applied for deferring jobs.

Highlights​

  • What is it?
    • An admin‑configurable policy to opt-in users automatically to run jobs during daily off‑peak hours. A discount  on compute infrastructure costs will be applied for deferring jobs. Engineers can have the option to opt-out.
    • An opt-in option for engineers when setting up their jobs to independently select to defer their jobs to run during off-peak hours for the day.
    • The start time for off-peak hours is 3:00 am UTC.
  • Why did we build it? We are always looking for ways to help our customers reduce compute infrastructure costs. While some customers need a solution as quickly as possible, others prefer to prioritize cost efficiency or spread out their jobs due to license constraints and next-day results are sufficient. This new tool provides the flexibility to balance that tradeoff between urgency of a job and compute costs in a consistent way.
  • How is it used?
    • Admins create a Run During Daily Off‑Peak hours policy, scope it to a Workspace or specific Projects, and choose if users may opt out.
    • If no admin policy is set, users can independently opt-in to run their job during off peak hours.

Getting Started​

  • Find Job Priority Policies under Policies in the workspace admin portal.
  • Create a policy: choose Run during daily off‑peak hours, set scope (Projects or whole Workspace).
  • Activate: eligible jobs will schedule for the off‑peak window at submission (with user opt‑out if enabled).

Access and Set Priority Policies from the Workspace Admin Portal
