1. A method comprising:
receiving a list of servers associated with an orchestration system that are capable of hosting an application workload, the list determined based at least in part on server utilization data associated with the servers;
obtaining first network parameter data collected from a first network switch that is connected to a first server included in the list of servers, the first network parameter data indicating utilization of a first network resource on the first network switch;
determining, based at least in part on the first network parameter data, that the first network switch is less constrained for the first network resource than a second network switch is constrained for a second network resource on the second network switch, the second network switch connected to a second server included in the list of servers, wherein the first network resource and the second network resource are a same network resource type; and
based at least in part on the first network switch being less constrained for the first network resource than the second network switch is for the second network resource, provisioning the application workload on the first server.
