A speculative virtual machine (“VM”) resource scheduler for a VM that is hosted by a primary host server initiates the creation of at least one duplicate VM on a secondary host server. The VM and the duplicate VM are run substantially in lockstep while the scheduler monitors resources on the primary host server and the secondary host server. The scheduler then determines an advantageous host server among the primary host server and the secondary host server and, based at least in part on the determination, initiates the powering down of either the VM on the primary host server or the duplicate VM on the secondary host server.
