**Important**  
This data type is a UNION, so only one of the following members can be specified when used or returned.

 ** priorityBalanced **   <a name="deadlinecloud-Type-SchedulingConfiguration-priorityBalanced"></a>
Workers are distributed evenly across all jobs at the highest priority level. When workers cannot be evenly divided, the extra workers are assigned to the jobs submitted earliest. If a job has fewer remaining tasks than its share of workers, the surplus workers are redistributed to other jobs at the same priority level.  
Type: [PriorityBalancedSchedulingConfiguration](API_PriorityBalancedSchedulingConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No

 ** priorityFifo **   <a name="deadlinecloud-Type-SchedulingConfiguration-priorityFifo"></a>
Workers are assigned to the highest-priority job first. When multiple jobs share the same priority, the job submitted earliest receives workers first. This is the default scheduling configuration for new queues.  
Type: [PriorityFifoSchedulingConfiguration](API_PriorityFifoSchedulingConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No

 ** weightedBalanced **   <a name="deadlinecloud-Type-SchedulingConfiguration-weightedBalanced"></a>
Workers are assigned to jobs based on a weighted formula that considers job priority, error count, submission time, and the number of tasks currently rendering. Each factor has a configurable weight that determines its influence on scheduling decisions.  
Type: [WeightedBalancedSchedulingConfiguration](API_WeightedBalancedSchedulingConfiguration.md) object  
Required: No
