Abstract
A method of managing modification of configuration states of a plurality of resources of multiple types in a dynamic data center is disclosed. A modification policy is created for the resources. Moreover, a new modification for a configuration state of resources of a particular type is obtained. The new modification is automatically performed to the configuration state of the resources of the particular type based on the modification policy. A resource pool is utilized so that performance of the new modification to the configuration state is achieved without degrading a level of service provided by the resources of the particular type. Further, the resource pool includes a plurality of available resources of multiple types.
