The rapidly increasing scale of computing systems means that it is vitally important to address the scaling challenges in the control of computing systems. We introduce a framework for describing the control problems for large scale computing systems that expand along two dimensions: the scale of the target system and the scale of the policy. Using this framework, we present control architectures that span a range from centralized schemes to distributed solutions. We further identify several research challenges related to issues such as target systems latencies and policy decomposition.
