Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for optimizing workload placements in a system of multiple platforms as a service. A computer first places respective workloads on respective platforms that yield lowest costs for the respective workloads. The computer determines whether mandatory constraints are satisfied. The computer checks best effort constraints, in response to the mandatory constraints being satisfied. The computer determines a set of workloads for which the best effort constraints are not satisfied and determines a set of candidate platforms that yield the lowest costs and enable the best effort constraints to be satisfied. From the set of workloads, the computer selects a workload that has a lowest upgraded cost and updates the workload by setting an upgraded platform index.
