Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
receiving utilization data representing a resource-utilization pattern according to which a workload utilized computing resources of a service provider network over a first period of time;
generating, based at least in part on a resource-utilization pattern, a migration schedule according to which a workload is scheduled to be migrated between virtual machine types for a second period of time;
during the second period of time, and according to the migration schedule:
migrating the workload to a first virtual machine of a first virtual machine type prior to or during a first timeframe, the first virtual machine being allocated a first amount of first computing resources; and
during or subsequent to the first timeframe, migrating the workload to a second virtual machine of a second virtual machine type prior to or during a second timeframe, the second virtual machine being allocated a second amount of second computing resources that is different than the first amount,
wherein the second amount of the second computing resources is more optimal for hosting the workload during the second timeframe than the first amount of the first computing resources.
