Abstract
A system and method for allocating resources in a cloud environment includes providing an abstraction layer between a cloud environment and one or more data centers by generating a virtual hypervisor as an application programming interface. Responsive to a workload request by the one or more data centers, resources are partitioned and virtual machines are instantiated in the one or more data centers using the virtual hypervisor such that non-functional requirements of the workload are addressed at the abstraction level using the virtual hypervisor.
