Abstract
Various examples are disclosed for placing virtual machine (VM) workloads in a computing environment. Ephemeral workloads can be placed onto reserved instances or reserved hosts in a cloud-based VM environment. If a request to place a guaranteed workload is received, ephemeral workloads can be evacuated to make way for the guaranteed workload.
