1. A method of configuring a computing system carried out by one or more computing devices, the method comprising: identifying, based on a shared execution of a workload by a cluster of nodes of the computing system having an initial hardware configuration, at least one node of the cluster of nodes that operated at less than a threshold operating capacity during the shared execution of the workload; and selecting a modified hardware configuration of the cluster of nodes based on the identifying such that the cluster of nodes with the modified hardware configuration has at least one of a reduced computing capacity and a reduced storage capacity, wherein the initial hardware configuration of the cluster of nodes and the modified hardware configuration of the cluster of nodes each include an unmodified same node, further wherein the selecting the modified hardware configuration comprises selecting at least one different node from a plurality of available nodes to replace a first node of the at least one node of the cluster of nodes, the at least one different node having at least one of a reduced computing capacity and a reduced storage capacity compared with the first node of the at least one node of the cluster of nodes.
