According to examples of the present disclosure, a method is provided to perform resource management in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise monitoring multiple first virtual machines to update a status of each first virtual machine based on a resource consumption level of resources allocated to the first virtual machine. The method may further comprise: in response to receiving a request to allocate resources to a second virtual machine, selecting at least one of the multiple first virtual machines with an inactive status to satisfy the request. Resources allocated to the selected at least one of the multiple first virtual machines may then be released and reallocated to the second virtual machine.

Resource management in a virtualized computing environment

An example method to manage a virtual appliance in a virtualized computing environment may comprise obtaining, by a computing system, data relating to the virtual appliance that specifies a virtual machine implementing a software application. The method may also comprise configuring, by the computing system, an operational mode for the virtual machine to customize the virtual appliance for deployment. The method may further comprise deploying, by the computing system, the virtual appliance with the virtual machine operating in the operational mode.
