Abstract
Technology is disclosed for non-fragmenting memory ballooning. An example method may involve: receiving, by a processing device, a request associated with a memory balloon; searching for available memory chunks in a memory, wherein the memory is fragmented and comprises a set of available chunks that are separate from each other; selecting, by the processing device, a first chunk and a second chunk of the set of available chunks, wherein the first chunk is smaller than the second chunk and is selected before the second chunk; and associating the first chunk and the second chunk with the memory balloon.
