Abstract
In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include provisioning a virtual network on a hypervisor server. The method can also include querying the hypervisor server to determine an allowable range for a number of virtual ports of a first port group of a virtual switch implemented on the hypervisor server, the first port group being associated with the virtual network. The method can further include provisioning at least one virtual machine on the virtual network including assigning a respective virtual port of the first port group to the virtual machine. The method can still further include monitoring usage of the virtual ports of the first port group and, in response to the usage of the virtual ports of the first port group exceeding a threshold, instructing the hypervisor server to provision a second port group on the virtual switch, the second port group being associated with the virtual network.
