Techniques for host fleet management in a cloud provider network are described. Forecast data including a forecasted demand for virtual machines in each capacity pool of a set of capacity pools is obtained. A mathematical optimizer application is executed to generate a first optimal fleet plan, the mathematical optimizer application having an objective function to minimize a number of new host computer systems to add to the set of host computer systems to satisfy the forecasted demand for each capacity pool, the first optimal fleet plan includes an identification of a set of hardware types and, for each hardware type in the set, a quantity of new host computer systems of the hardware type. A plurality of new host computer systems is deployed, based on the first optimal fleet plan, for a hardware type in the set of hardware types into the set of host computer systems.
