Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage virtual workload priorities in a computing environment. In at least one example, a management service determines when preemption is required to deploy a virtual machine in a computing environment. When preemption is required, the management service identifies one or more hosts in the computing environment capable of supporting the virtual machine when at least one preemptible virtual machine of one or more preemptible virtual machines is stopped on a corresponding host of the one or more hosts. The management service then selects a host from the one or more hosts for the virtual machine, stops the at least one virtual machine, and deploys the virtual machine on the host.

Abstract: Various examples are disclosed for performing cross-cluster load balancing. In some aspects, a workload is selected for cross-cluster migration. A destination cluster is identified for a migration of the workload from a source cluster to the destination cluster. A cross-cluster migration recommendation is generated to migrate the workload from the source cluster to the destination cluster.
