Abstract
A method of agreeing on the utilization of at least one computer resource between two virtual machines includes sending a first resource request by a first virtual machine to a second virtual machine having computer resources to allocate to the first virtual machine. The second virtual machine responds by sending at least one available resource for use by the first virtual machine. The first virtual machine can select from the at least one available resource. Both the first and second virtual machines can then execute on the agreed resource utilization by the first virtual machine and begin using the resource. When conditions change, either the first virtual machine or the second virtual machine can request a renegotiation of the agreement to use computer resources.
