Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture are disclosed to retire hosts in virtual server rack deployments for virtual computing environments. An example method includes determining, via a processor, a workload associated with a physical host in a virtualized rack in response to a request to retire the physical host, the workload implemented by a virtual computing environment including the virtualized rack. The example method also includes determining, via the processor, a projected impact of retiring the physical host on the workload. The example method also includes presenting information representative of the projected impact.
