# Workload Management

Intelligent query scheduling, resource management, and SLA enforcement.

## Overview

HeliosDB Workload Management controls query execution, resource allocation, and service level agreements.

## Components

| Component | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Admission Control** | Gate queries based on system capacity |
| **Query Scheduler** | Priority-based query execution |
| **Resource Manager** | CPU, memory, I/O allocation |
| **SLA Manager** | Enforce response time guarantees |
| **Graceful Degradation** | Maintain service during overload |

## Quick Start

```sql
-- Create a workload profile
CREATE WORKLOAD PROFILE high_priority
  WITH (
    max_memory = '8GB',
    max_cpu_time = '60s',
    priority = 100,
    queue = 'critical'
  );

-- Assign a session to a workload
SET workload_profile = 'high_priority';

-- Configure admission control
SET admission_control_enabled = true;
SET max_concurrent_queries = 50;
```
