A method includes creating, by one or more computing devices, a first pool of memory resources from a plurality of memory resources in a cluster. The first pool comprises memory resources that (1) have been allocated to a respective guest virtual machine that is not currently being used and (2) that have been marked as unused by the respective guest virtual machine. The method also includes invoking, by the one or more computing devices, a number of operations on the memory resources in the first pool, wherein the number of operations is designed to signal a memory resource manager to reclaim the allocated memory resources that have been marked as unused from the first pool into an unallocated pool of memory resources in the cluster.

A method includes storing a plurality of workloads in a first disk resource associated with a high end disk classification. The method further includes determining a corresponding activity level for each of the plurality of workloads. The method also includes classifying each of the plurality of workloads into a first set indicative of high-priority workloads and a second set indicative of low-priority workloads based on whether the corresponding activity level is greater than a threshold activity level. The method further includes determining whether a second disk resource associated with a low end disk classification can accommodate storage of a first particular workload in the second set based on an available storage capacity of the second disk resource. The method additionally includes migrating the first particular workload from the first disk resource to the second disk resource.
