Fuxi: a Fault-Tolerant Resource Management and Job Scheduling System at Internet Scale

Summary: Fuxi is Alibaba’s Internet-scale scheduler, combining incremental multidimensional, locality-aware resource allocation with transparent component/job failure recovery. Production deployment scales to hundreds of thousands of nodes and tasks, sustaining high utilization and modest slowdown under injected faults. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
