Various examples are disclosed for placing virtual machine (VM) workloads in a computing environment. Ephemeral workloads can be placed onto reserved instances or reserved hosts in a cloud-based VM environment. If a request to place a guaranteed workload is received, ephemeral workloads can be evacuated to make way for the guaranteed workload.

Cost-savings using ephemeral hosts in infrastructure as a service environments based on health score

Disclosed are various implementations of approaches for reassigning hosts between computing clusters. A computing cluster assigned to a first queue is identified. The first queue can include a first list of identifiers of computing clusters with insufficient resources for a respective workload. A host machine assigned to a second queue can then be identified. The second queue can include a second list of identifiers of host machines in an idle state. A command can then be sent to the host machine to migrate to the computing cluster. Finally, the host machine can be removed from the second queue.
