Fine-Grained Cloud Management Control Using Nested Virtualization

摘要

A computer implemented method, a computer program product and a data processing system allocate resources within a computing organization. A hypervisor layer is implemented on an underlying hardware. The hypervisor layer comprises a set of virtual machines. A first pseudo-hypervisor layer is then implemented within a first one of the set of virtual machines of the hypervisor layer. The first pseudo-hypervisor layer comprises a second set of virtual machines. A first software component is located within a first virtual machine of the second set of virtual machines of the first pseudo-hypervisor layer. A second software component is collocated within a second virtual machine of the second set of virtual machines of the first pseudo-hypervisor layer.
