Abstract
Computing resources are dynamically provisioned to virtual and physical systems. In one embodiment, a control system manages the provisioning of computing resources for multiple client systems. A request for resource provisioning can be sent to the control system as a trigger. The control system converts the information in the trigger into a demand curve that specifies the rates at which resources are to be provided to a client system. The control system then causes the resources to be provisioned to the client system based on the demand curve and a dynamic provisioning profile. The dynamic provisioning profile can be created by a system administrator based on the amount and characteristics of the resources available for provisioning the client system. The dynamic provisioning profile can also specify one or more gate points that indicate the thresholds at which dynamic provisioning can be stopped.
