A method, a system, and a computer program product for managing the resources of a virtual machine on a physical server are provided. The method includes receiving, at a management application, a request to increase a first virtual resource from an initial level to an increased level for a first virtual machine. The first virtual machine is provided by a first physical server in a computing environment.
