We are interested to implement a job scheduler for CF. Do you think this could be interesting to have? We are working in a project called DC4Cities (http://www.dc4cities.eu) were the objective is to make data centres use more renewable energy. We want to use PaaS frameworks such as CloudFoundry to achieve this goal. The idea is to schedule some PaaS tasks at the moment there is more renewable energies (when the sun is shining). That's why I had the idea to implement a job scheduler for batch jobs in CF. For example one could state "I need to have this task to run for 2 hours per day" and the scheduler could choose when to run it. Another possibility is to have application-oriented SLA implemented at CF level. For example if some KPIs of the application are getting too low, CF would spark a new container. If the SLA is defined with some flexibility, it could also be used to schedule renewable energies. For example in our trial scenarios we have an application that convert images. Its SLA says that it needs to convert 1000 images per day, but you are free to produce them when you want i.e. when renewable energies are available...
