    Note
    • The peak hours for DataWorks tenants to run nodes are from 00:00 to 09:00 each day. If you use shared resource groups during the peak hours, you share resources with other tenants.
    • In this case, you may compete for resources with other tenants. If you have high requirements on the output time of nodes, use exclusive resource groups to run the nodes. You do not need to pay additional fees for running node instances on an exclusive resource group regardless of the edition of DataWorks. For more information, see Exclusive resource group mode.
