Abstract
A method comprises determining an amount to which resource usage by a driver domain on behalf of a given virtual machine (VM) is to be limited. The method further comprises controlling the resource usage by the driver domain on behalf of the given VM so as not to exceed the determined amount. A system comprises a VM, a driver domain, and a shared resource that is usable by the VM and by the driver domain. The system further comprises a controller for limiting usage of the shared resource by the driver domain on behalf of the VM to prevent the usage of the shared resource by the driver domain on behalf of the VM from exceeding a determined amount.
