Various approaches for managing computational resources in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) cluster include identifying the hosts associated with the HCI cluster for providing one or more computational resources thereto; for each of the hosts, determining a revenue and/or an expense for allocating the computational resource(s) to the HCI cluster; and determining whether to clone, suspend or terminate each host in the HCI cluster based at least in part on the associated revenue and/or expense.

Various approaches for allocating resources to multiple virtual machines include identifying multiple reserved instances, each specifying a quantity of one or more computational resources compatible with the feasible resource template for the VMs; computationally generating, for each of the VMs, an instance-ranking list indicating a ranking order of the reserved instances having templates feasible for the VM; computationally generating, for each of the reserved instances, a VM-ranking list indicating a ranking order of the VMs to which the resources specified by the reserved instance may be allocated; and based at least in part on the instance-ranking list and the VM-ranking list, computationally mapping each of the VMs to one of the reserved instances.
