RIGHTSIZING VIRTUAL MACHINE DEPLOYMENTS IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for rightsizing virtual machine deployments on a cloud computing system. For example, systems disclosed herein may predict utilization of resources for a customer deployment and determine a desired goal state including a deployment of virtual machines having rightsized specifications that align more closely with the predicted utilization. Systems disclosed herein may utilize the goal state in view of the deployment data, policies, and other information to determine an action plan including deployment actions for transitioning a current state of a customer deployment to the goal state. By rightsizing virtual machine deployments, systems described herein may affect more efficient utilization of cloud computing resources and decrease costs associated with over-allocation of cloud computing resources.
