Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and system for configuring a computing system, such as a cloud computing system. A method includes determining, based on a shared execution of a workload by a cluster of nodes of the computing system, that at least one node of the cluster of nodes operated at less than a threshold operating capacity during the shared execution of the workload. The method further includes selecting a modified hardware configuration of the cluster of nodes based on the determining such that the cluster of nodes with the modified hardware configuration has at least one of a reduced computing capacity and a reduced storage capacity.
