Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for predicting surplus capacity on a set of server nodes and determining a quantity of deferrable virtual machines (VMs) that may be scheduled over an upcoming period of time. This determination of VM quantity may be determined while minimizing risks associated with allocation failures on the set of server nodes. This disclosure described systems that facilitate features and functionality related to improving utilization of surplus resource capacity on a plurality of server nodes by implementing VMs having some flexibility in timing of deployment while also avoiding significant risk caused as a result of over-allocated storage and computing resources. In one or more embodiments, the quantity of deferrable VMs is determined and scheduled in accordance with rules of a scheduling policy.
