Enterprise cloud computing has become a fundamental component of digital transformation, enabling organizations to deploy scalable applications, manage distributed workloads, and support data-intensive business operations. However, inefficient resource allocation, unpredictable workload fluctuations, overprovisioning, and underutilization frequently increase cloud expenditure and reduce operational efficiency. Traditional resource management approaches based on static thresholds and reactive scaling often fail to anticipate workload changes and maintain an effective balance between performance, availability, and cost. This study examines a machine learning-driven framework for optimizing enterprise cloud resource allocation through predictive workload analytics and cost-aware resource management. The proposed framework integrates historical utilization metrics, workload characteristics, application performance indicators, and financial data to forecast resource demand and recommend appropriate allocation strategies. Time-series forecasting, regression models, and reinforcement learning techniques are considered for predicting demand, optimizing scaling decisions, and adapting resource configurations to changing operating conditions. The framework incorporates workload classification, horizontal and vertical scaling, workload scheduling, rightsizing, and the strategic use of reserved and spot instances. Cost optimization is evaluated alongside service-level objectives, response latency, resource utilization, availability, and workload completion time. A research methodology based on architectural design and quantitative evaluation is proposed to compare predictive resource management with conventional reactive approaches. The framework aims to improve resource utilization, reduce unnecessary expenditure, and maintain reliable application performance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The study establishes a structured foundation for intelligent, adaptive, and financially accountable enterprise cloud resource management
