Agnostic/Generic Instance Groups and Resource Scheduler

We are in need of agnostic/generic instance groups and an   agnostic/genericresource scheduler.
*) agnostic/genericresource schedulerThere is a common need for our data scientists to schedule a "pure" non-Spark TensorFlow Python application to run.  We are needing a single pane of glass for job scheduling on our WMLA infrastructure.  Each server's CRON facility does not function well at all when needing a highly available and visible job scheduler.  Note, we need to be able to schedule an assortment of languages ex. Python, Perl, Julia and Bash.
*) agnostic/generic instance groups
We are seeing a growing need to massively scale non-Spark based applications on our WMLA infrastructure.  We are trying very hard to consolidate our AI and embarrassingly parallelizable workloads on our Power9 AC922 infrastructure.
