POLICY-BASED DYNAMIC COMPUTE UNIT ADJUSTMENTS

Machine policies are described herein that provide for enhanced operation and dynamic alteration of compute units comprising physical computing components coupled over a communication fabric. In one example, a method includes presenting a user interface indicating a plurality of policies specifying operational triggers and responsive actions for altering composition of compute units, receiving a first user selection indicating a set of physical computing components to form a target compute unit, and receiving a second user selection indicating a selected policy among the plurality of policies to apply to the target compute unit. The method also includes establishing the target compute unit based at least on logical partitioning within a communication fabric communicatively coupling the set of physical computing components, monitoring telemetry data for the target compute unit, altering composition of the target compute unit using the logical partitioning responsive to one or more triggers indicated by the selected policy.
