Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatus to manage cloud computing resources are disclosed. An example apparatus includes network interface circuitry; computer readable instructions; and programmable circuitry to instantiate: allocation candidate circuitry to determine allocation candidates for a first allocation resource and a second allocation resource, respectively; iteration circuitry to generate a first candidate set based on the first allocation candidate and the second allocation candidate; filter circuitry to determine whether the allocation candidates are incompatible; skipping circuitry to determine to skip, after a determination that the allocation candidates are incompatible, a second candidate set based on the incompatibility between the allocation candidates present in the second candidate set; and the filter circuitry to determine whether allocation candidates of a third candidate set are compatible, the allocation candidate circuitry to, after the third candidate set is determined as compatible, cause assignment of the third candidate set.
