Abstract

See full text

A virtual resource assignment capability is disclosed. The virtual resource assignment capability is configured to support provisioning of virtual resources within a cloud environment. The provisioning of virtual resources within a cloud environment includes receiving a user virtual resource request requesting provisioning of virtual resources within the cloud environment, determining virtual resource assignment information specifying assignment of virtual resources within the cloud environment, and provisioning the virtual resources within the cloud environment using the virtual resource assignment information. The assignment of the requested virtual resources within the cloud environment includes assignment of the virtual resource to datacenters of the cloud environment in which the virtual resources will be hosted and, more specifically, to the physical resources within the datacenters of the cloud environment in which the virtual resources will be hosted. The virtual resources may include virtual processor resources, virtual memory resources, and the like. The physical resources may include processor resources, storage resources, and the like (e.g., physical resources of blade servers of racks of datacenters of the cloud environment).
