A method for dynamically adjusting a number of virtual machines for a workload, includes: receiving a probability indicator for each of a plurality of N sequential stages, where N is a natural number greater than 1, of a likelihood that a virtual machine assigned to a workload will be evicted during the N sequential stages; predicting a target number of virtual machines to configure in a current stage for a subsequent stage from among the plurality of N sequential stages based on the probability indicator, a target capacity for the workload, and a current price for maintaining a virtual machine; and configuring a number of virtual machines for the workload during the current stage based on the target number to be loaded for the workload for the subsequent stage.
