I think this is backwards. How are you planning on “sticking to it” when you’re serving unpredictable user traffic? If requests are set appropriately everywhere then it won’t really starve batch as kernel would just scale everything to their respective cpu.shares when cpu is fully saturated. This would allow you to weather spiky load with minimum latency impact and minimize spend

It's weird that apparently you are a borg user from google, according to other discussions we have exchanged, but you question the value of hard-capping for latency-sensitive processes.
Borg sre even ;) (former) and yes i do question them. For one borg aint using 100ms cfs period and it wasn’t even standard cfs if i recall so yes i do question that outside of limited borg usecase
