Client-managed hierarchical resource allocation

A host may provide a client-managed hierarchical resource allocation. In some aspects, a host may analyze a computing system including a plurality of computing resources to identify, for various tasks, dependencies between the computing resources. The host may receive a new task to be performed by the computing system. The new task may be associated with a similar task performed by the computing system to enable modeling the new task using dependencies between computing resources which are determined from the similar task. The host may receive an estimate of computing resources required by the new task. The host may then allocate at least a portion of the computing resources to perform the new task based on the estimated workload of the new task and similarities between the new task and the similar task.
