1. A method of brokering compute resources, the method comprising:

  • at a brokering service system, polling a plurality of compute resource environments to identify resource capabilities, each compute resource environment comprising a plurality of aggregated nodes for processing jobs;

    receiving, at a first time, a request for compute resources at the brokering service system, the request for compute resources being associated with a service level agreement;

    based on the resource capabilities across the plurality of compute resource environments, reserving compute resources from the plurality of compute resource environments to yield reserved compute resources such that workload can consume the reserved compute resources at a second time, which is later than the first time; and

    receiving a workload associated with the request and communicating the workload associated with the request to the reserved compute resources for processing, wherein reserving the compute resources ensures that the processing at the second time complies with the service level agreement.
