Claim:
1. A method for managing workload bursts within a computing environment, the method comprising: identifying, by a resource management computing device, one or more reserved resources and one or more workload bursts in a production environment based on a resource consumption level exceeding a maximum permissible value, wherein the resource consumption level indicates usage of the one or more reserved resources in the production environment; determining, by the resource management computing device, an allocation of one or more additional resources required to manage the one or more workload bursts in the production environment based on the indicated difference in usage of the one or more reserved resources, in the production environment, between the resource consumption value and the permissible maximum value; identifying, by the resource management computing device, the determined allocation of the one or more additional resources in a non-production environment based on one or more share values which prioritize the determined allocation of the one or more additional resources; and providing, by the resource management computing device, the one or more reserved resources and the identified one or more additional resources from the non-production environment to the production environment based at least in part on the identified one or more share values.
