Allocate a higher pod priority to the image rendering microservice's pods compared to others, to influence scheduling during resource contention.

Create a dedicated node pool with compute-optimized machine-type nodes for the image rendering microservice, and use general-purpose machine-type nodes for the remaining microservices.

Assign the image rendering microservice to the general-purpose machine-type node pool, and set up a separate node pool with compute-optimized machine-type nodes for the other microservices.

Specify the CPU and memory requirements in the resource requests section of the image rendering microservice's deployment, leaving other microservices' resource requests at default settings.
