Abstract
Placement of instances of virtual machine (VM) images in a cloud computing environment is optimized. A request is received to deploy a new VM image instance. User-specific and generic VM resource usage profiles are read that include resource consumption data. Resource pool profiles for multiple resource pools are read that include resource consumption data for the resource pools. For each of the resource pool profiles, a selected VM resource usage profile is analyzed and aligned with the resource pool profiles. An aggregated resource consumption profile is calculated. A determination is made of one of multiple resource pools with the least aggregated resource consumption.
