Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for automatedly allocating hosting resources controlled by different hypervisors. The method receives a configuration for a computer system specifying a set of resources required to operate as a virtual machine on a node of a hosting system. The hosting system includes several nodes, where each node includes resources for hosting at least one virtual machine and one of several hypervisors for managing access of the virtual machine to the resources of the node. The method identifies a particular node from the several nodes with sufficient available resources to host the virtual machine based on the set of resources specified in the configuration. The method allocates the set of resources from the particular node by directing a hypervisor of the particular node to apportion the set of resources on the particular node, the set of resources for hosting the virtual machine on the particular node.
