Abstract
In some embodiments of this disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes accessing a set of two or more activity logs associated with two or more virtual machines, each activity log being associated with a corresponding virtual machine. A computational capacity is calculated, by a computer processor, for each of the virtual machines based at least in part on the activity logs. A rank is calculated for each of the virtual machines, where a first rank calculated for a first virtual machine is based, at least in part, on a monetary cost of the first virtual machine and the calculated computational capacity of the first virtual machine.
