A software defined infrastructure (SDI) makes available a subset of a computer server's resources to a cloud solution or workload. Multiple subsets of resources can be combined in a SDI to provide a logical resource pool. This allows cloud administrators to create software defined infrastructures derived from the partial capacity of a collection of systems. The resources defined across the physical boundaries of a computer server can then be made available to host deployment of cloud workloads. The infrastructure resource pool can be selected upon deployment of a cloud workload.

Software defined infrastructures that encapsulate physical server resources into logical resource pools

Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising receiving, from a workload in a cloud computing environment, an abstract request to modify resources allocated to the workload, translating, by a tuning service, the abstract request to a set of requirements to fulfill the abstract request, identifying, by the tuning service, a resource configuration suitable to satisfy the set of requirements, and providing, by the tuning service, the resource configuration to fulfill the abstract request.
