Abstract

A method for allocating resources of a virtual controller is disclosed. The method comprises: allocating resources of a virtual controller to a first tenant, wherein the first tenant is allocated a first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources of the virtual controller and a second tenant is allocated a second tenant quantity of guaranteed resources of the virtual controller; determining that resources requested by the first tenant are greater than the first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources; determining that the virtual controller has unutilized resources sufficient to at least partially provide additional resources beyond the first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources to the first tenant; and temporarily provisioning the additional resources to the first tenant, wherein the additional resources are greater than the first tenant quantity of guaranteed resources.
