Slot allocation policy

Slot allocation policies offer you greater control over which host slots are allocated to run workload and system services. Symphony supports three slot allocation policies:

  • stacked (default)

    Free slots from one host are all allocated first before allocating from another host.

  • balanced

    Slots are allocated from the host with the highest number of free slots.

  • exclusive

    All slots of each host are allocated to one consumer at a time.
