Abstract
Managing virtual and real machines through a provisioning system. The provisioning system allows a user to create and manage machines through a 'self-service' approach. The provisioning system interacts with one or more agents that manage the lifecycle of a machine. The system may provide templates that enable a user to readily create a virtual machine. The system may also include interfaces for administrators to manage virtual and real machine resources.
