Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for reclassifying a set of virtual machines in a cloud-based network. The systems and methods can analyze virtual machine data to determine performance metrics associated with the set of virtual machines, as well as target data to determine a set of target machines to which the set of virtual machines can be reassigned or reclassified. In embodiments, benefits of reassigning any of the set of virtual machines to any of the set of target virtual machines can be determined. Based on the benefits, the systems and methods can reassign or reclassify appropriate virtual machines to appropriate target virtual machines.
