Techniques are provided for automatically resizing applications. In one technique, policy data that indicates an order of multiple policies is stored. The policies include (1) a first policy that corresponds to a first computer resource and a first resizing action and (2) a second policy that is lower in priority than the first policy and that corresponds to a second resizing action and a second computer resource. Resource utilization data is received from at least one application executing in a cloud environment. Based on the order, the first policy is identified. Based on the resource utilization data, it is determined whether criteria associated with the first policy are satisfied with respect to the application. If satisfied, then the first resizing action is performed with respect to the application; otherwise, based on the computer resource utilization data, it is determined whether criteria associated with the second policy are satisfied.
