Geophysical virtual machine policy allocation using a GPS, atomic clock source or regional peering host

摘要

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for virtual machine allocation is disclosed. The system includes a host having a hypervisor executing instructions to: responsive to receiving a request to execute a virtual machine on the host, determine a geophysical location of the host; determine a geophysical policy for the virtual machine; determine whether the geophysical policy for the virtual machine corresponds to the geophysical location of the host; and responsive to determining that the geophysical policy for the virtual machine corresponds to the geophysical location of the host, execute the virtual machine.
