Techniques for virtual machines include receiving virtual machine (VM) requests, and finding one or more VM requests of the VM requests that optimize available resources of a candidate host machine while seeking to minimize differences between the one or more VM requests and the candidate host machine. The one or more VM requests are allocated to the candidate host machine.
