Abstract

A method and associated system. A request to deploy a virtual machine in a computing environment is received. The request identifies an ordered sequence of attributes that the virtual machine to be deployed includes. In response to the request, a virtual machine resource usage pattern having attributes matching a subset of attributes in the ordered sequence of attributes is selected, based on an ordering of the attributes in the ordered sequence of attributes. A node on which the virtual machine is to be deployed is selected from two or more nodes in the computing environment, based on the selected virtual machine resource usage pattern and predicted runtime resource requirements of the virtual machine to be deployed.
