A mechanism for node selection for a new application in a multi-tenant cloud hosting environment is disclosed. A method of the invention includes receiving a request to host a software application on one of a plurality of nodes of a cloud computing infrastructure, each node configured to host multiple software applications. A set of available nodes from the plurality of nodes can be identified on which the software application can be hosted and the capacity of each identified node to host additional software applications can be determined. Then, a node is selected to host the software application using the determined capacities.
