Can customers allocate custom workload pools in Splunk?

Customers cannot allocate custom workload pools in Splunk Cloud. The cloud architecture is designed to optimize resource management automatically, and users have limited control over how these resources are allocated. This means that while users can define roles and workloads within their existing framework, they cannot create custom workload pools tailored to specific operational needs.

This automatic management helps ensure high performance and reliability, allowing Splunk to maintain the optimal functioning of its services. In the context of enterprise accounts and additional licensing, these factors do not grant the flexibility to customize workload pools, as the default setup is consistent across different account types. By centralizing control in the cloud infrastructure, Splunk simplifies management for customers and retains the ability to efficiently allocate resources according to its own optimization strategies.
