An embodiment includes extracting, by a scheduler, function-tag data associated with a function identified by a deployment request. The embodiment also includes selecting, by the scheduler, a computing device within a server cluster to host the function based at least in part on a comparison of the function-tag data and host-tag data associated with the computing device. The embodiment also includes issuing, by the scheduler, an instruction to the computing device, wherein the issuing of the instruction causes an allocation of resources for hosting execution of the function.
