Abstract

Deploying a set of virtual software resource templates to a plurality of nodes is provided. The process identifies a set of virtual machine images and metadata to form a set of virtual software resource templates. The process creates a model that indicates a performance metric based on a number of nodes on which a number of virtual machine images is deployed. The process receives a quality of service requirement. The process determines, using the model, a sufficient number of virtual software resource templates in the set of virtual software resource templates and a sufficient number of nodes in the plurality of nodes to fulfill the quality of service requirement. The process deploys the sufficient number of virtual software resource templates on the sufficient number of nodes using the metadata.
