Abstract
A template generator organizing templates in a cost-aware clustering, a method of allocating resources using cost-aware clustering and computer program products therefor. A resource provisioning unit generates, selects and maintains a selected number of resource templates. Each template specifies an allocable resource capacity configuration. Each requesting client device has resources allocated determined by one of the selected resource templates. A resource provisioning unit includes a configuration store with costs of allocable resources and associated attributes, a server request store with previously received requests, and an input parameter store with template list options. A template generator determines an optimum list of templates to satisfy previously received requests. A template store stores generated template lists.
