A workload optimization system includes a workload manager subsystem that provides a plurality of workloads that each generates a jobs, an agent infrastructure subsystem that includes a first container host hosting a first container having a first agent and that processes jobs generated by at least one of the plurality of workloads, and a workload resource optimization subsystem that monitors a job queue of jobs that were generated by the plurality of workloads and that are to be processed by the first container. The workload resource optimization subsystem then determines whether the job queue satisfies a container generation condition. If so, the workload resource optimization subsystem provides instructions to the first container host to generate a second container that includes a second agent. The workload resource optimization subsystem monitors container host utilization to provide instructions to activate a second container host to provide a third container having a third agent.
