Abstract
A placement simulator is used for testing a placement engine in a virtual machine environment. The placement simulator includes a simulation controller, an event manager, and an inventory manager. The simulation controller receives input data for a simulated datacenter. The event manager invokes event handlers for a sequence of events from the input data. The inventory manager stores states of inventory objects to simulate deployment of virtual infrastructure resources by the placement engine based on the sequence of the events.
