Abstract
A remote network management platform may include a database containing records relating to units of reserved and on-demand computing resources provided by a third-party network and a processor disposed within a computational instance. The processor may be configured to obtain utilization reports regarding the managed network from the third-party network and calculate, for each hour-of-day across one or more days of usage, respective hourly average units of utilization, by the managed network, of the reserved and on-demand computing resources. The processor may also calculate output values respectively associated with different combinations of the reserved and on-demand computing resources that jointly satisfy the hourly average units of utilization and select an allocation of the reserved computing resources that is within a threshold of a minimum output value of the output values. The processor may further change the number of allocated units to be the selected allocation of reserved computing resources.
