Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for a cloud system. The method includes: dynamically selecting, based on available infrastructure resources and at least one resource request, a scheduling strategy from a set of candidate scheduling strategies; and applying the selected scheduling strategy to schedule the infrastructure resources to serve the at least one resource request. Through embodiments of the present disclosure, when a single resource request or a batch of resource requests arrive, the most appropriate scheduling strategy is dynamically selected to generate an optimal allocation scheme for the request(s), thereby achieving cost-effective operations with the service level requirement of the resource request(s) satisfied.
