Selective allocation of physical computing resources amongst virtual machines based on user attribute values contained in user profiles

摘要

Techniques for resource allocation are described. Some embodiments provide a computing system and method for resource allocation in a virtualized computing environment comprising at least one physical computing system hosting multiple virtual machines, that performs at least some of the described techniques. In one embodiment, a user connection server is configured to receive a request for allocation of a virtual machine, for a user. The user connection server determines an attribute value of the user. Based on the attribute value of the user, allocation of physical computing resources for the virtual machine is determined. A management server is configured to boot the virtual machine for access by the user, the virtual machine booted with the determined allocation of physical computing resources for the virtual machine.
