US Patent 11169854 Node eligibility determinations

An example system including a processing resource and a memory resource. The memory resource may store instructions executable by the processing resource to receive, at a software-defined node of a computational infrastructure, a policy specifying a node metric criterion associated with executing a workload at the node; collect a present node metric corresponding to the specified node metric criterion at the node; receive a prediction, based on historical data, of a future modification to the present node metric corresponding to the specified node metric criterion at the node; determine, at the software-defined node, an eligibility value of the node to execute the workload based on the specified node metric criterion, the present node metric criterion, and the predicted future node metric criterion; and determine whether to deploy the workload to the node for execution based on the determined eligibility value.
