Abstract
A mechanism is provided for enforcing machine deployment zoning rules in an automatic provisioning system. Responsive to receiving a machine specification from a user for deployment of a virtual machine in a computing environment, the automatic provisioning system applies machine deployment zone rules to the machine specification. Responsive to the machine specification not meeting the machine deployment zone rules, the automatic provisioning system generates a failure notification. The automatic provisioning system presents the failure notification to the user.
