1. A method comprising:
monitoring, by a computing system, a first workload executing on a first cluster of compute nodes that includes a first compute node, wherein the first compute node includes processing circuitry and first node secondary storage;
monitoring, by the computing system, a second workload executing on a second cluster of compute nodes;
expanding, by the computing system, the second cluster of compute nodes to include a second compute node that includes second node secondary storage;
redeploying the processing circuitry included within the first compute node to the second compute node; and
enabling, by the computing system, the second workload to continue executing on the second cluster of compute nodes including the second compute node, and wherein the second compute node processes at least a portion of the second workload using the processing circuitry and the second node secondary storage.
