Machines, systems and methods for providing a job description for execution in a computing environment, the method comprising receiving a job description, wherein the job description defines a set of job alternatives based on an order of priority and conditions associated with execution of the job alternatives; processing the job alternatives to determine whether resources for executing at least a first job alternative are available, considering respective first conditions defined in the job description for the first job alternative; selecting a first computing element implemented in a virtualized computing environment, wherein the selected first computing element has sufficient resources to satisfy resource requirements defined in the job description for the first job alternative; and submitting the job to the first computing element for execution.

Machines, systems and methods for allocating resources to in a virtualized computing environment, the method comprising detecting one or more host machines with resources allocated to one or more virtual machines (VMs) that are in an idle state; reducing resource entitlements for at least one of the VMs that is detected to be in the idle state to make more resources available for allocation to VMs that are not in the idle state; and increasing resource entitlements for at least one of the VMs with reduced entitlement, in response to determining that the VM with reduced entitlement is no longer in the idle state.
