risk coded queueing prevents low priority starvation under bursts
Scheduling systems are combining risk tiers with fairness constraints so burst traffic does not permanently starve lower-priority but still essential workflows (Kubernetes scheduling).

scheduler logic
Policies cap consecutive high-priority allocations and reserve capacity bands for background queues.
operations signal
- Starvation incidents decline under mixed workloads.
- SLA behavior stays more predictable across tenants.
- Policy tuning complexity increases with traffic diversity.
my take
Risk-coded fairness is becoming essential for stable multi-tenant AI operations.
