Abstract
When a resource is being deployed to the cloud, there are many possible locations for the deployment. When a resource is created, it is placed under a parent resource. As discussed herein, a system for applying constraints to resources is used. A constraint is a type of metadata that helps manage, identify, organize, and filter resources. Defined constraints are a set of constraints that, for a particular resource, are either set or not set. Custom constraints are key/value pairs that have predefined keys, but variable values. New constraints may be added to the system without modifying source code. When a resource creation request is received, constraints of the resource being created are checked against the constraints of the candidate parent resources. The resource is then deployed to a parent resource for which it does not violate any constraints.
