Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for allocating computing resources. A request to allocate a computing resource in a collection of networked computing devices is obtained. It is determined whether the request can be fulfilled according to a current configuration of the networked computing devices. A reconfiguration of one or more of the networked computing devices to a different configuration is initiated in order to fulfill the request. The reconfiguration is initiated when a value associated with the request exceeds a cost associated with fulfilling the request. The reconfiguration is initiated in response to determining that the request cannot be fulfilled according to the current configuration.
