Mixed-Workload Scheduling and Resource Utilization Optimization in Xiaohongshu's Cloud-Native Platform
Xiaohongshu’s cloud‑native platform adopted a four‑stage mixed‑workload scheduling strategy—reusing idle nodes, whole‑machine time‑sharing, normal mixed pools, and a unified scheduler (Tusker) that coordinates CPU, GPU and memory across Kubernetes and YARN—boosting average cluster CPU utilization from under 20 % to over 45 % and delivering millions of low‑cost core‑hours while preserving QoS for latency‑sensitive, mid, and batch jobs.
