Abstract
Systems and methods herein can provide virtual resource management for hyper-converged infrastructures. In an example, a method can include identifying an overloaded cluster requesting at least one resource, the overloaded cluster including a hypervisor on a virtual machine. The method can further include identifying an additional cluster having a free resource corresponding to the requested resource. The method can include instantiating a nested host on the additional cluster, the nested host being configured to provide the free resource and the nested hosted comprising an additional hypervisor that manages an additional virtual machine. Further, the method can include registering the nested host with the overloaded cluster such that the overloaded cluster is authorized to use the free resource.
