Abstract
A technique for dynamically provisioning virtual machines for running a cloud-based software application includes querying a pool manager of a multi-tiered pool of virtual machines to identify a set of classes of virtual machines, which meet a specified size criterion, and a respective TVC (time-variant characteristic) for each class. If an identified one of the set of classes has a smaller TVC than a TVC of one of the virtual machines currently running the application, the technique proceeds to swap the current virtual machine for a virtual machine having the identified class.
