1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a scheduler, a first pod including a first container and a second pod including a second container, wherein the scheduler includes a first queue, a second queue, an event handler, and an error handler, the first container being a ready to run software package;
obtaining a first set of characteristics for the first pod and a second set of characteristics for the second pod using the event handler;
determining, based on the first set of characteristics, that the first pod is a special pod and determining, based on the second set of characteristics, that the second pod is a standard pod;
adding the first pod to the first queue, wherein the first queue is a special queue and includes a special function, adding a second pod to the second queue;
performing the special function for the first pod based on the determining;
assigning, based on one or more placement rules, the first pod to a first remote computing node of a plurality of remote computing nodes; and
assigning, based on the one or more placement rules, the second pod to a second remote computing node of the plurality of nodes while the special function for the first pod is being performed.
