Hi Connor,

Thanks for your interest in the DiaMon Workgroup! Indeed, integrating
tracing/monitoring solutions into a CI resource manager feedback loop
would be an interesting area to tackle. We could then do fine-grained
resource monitoring based on a wide set of metrics, e.g.:

- I/O throughput, max latency,
- Network throughput and max latency,
- CPU utilization,
- Preemption latency,
- Memory usage.

One aspect that pure sampling approaches (profiling) usually don't handle
well are those latency-related. Doing aggregation on tracing data can be
a good way to achieve this. You could then express constraints on the
resources in different ways. Instead of just reserving "capacity", you
could also reserve "latency guarantees".

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
