Abstract

Machines, systems and methods for deciding whether a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) may be hosted on a computing system with resources to support at least one of the VMs, the method comprising determining maximum permissible probability of infringement (maxPermInfrProb(v)) for a VM(v), wherein “v” is a value from 1 to n, such that n is the number of VMs in a set G, as stipulated by the VMs' SLA, wherein “v” is a value from 1 to n, such that n is the number of VMs in a set G; partitioning the set G into a plurality of groups Gi (G1, . . . Gi, . . . Gn), so that each group is homogenous with respect to maxPermInfrProb defined for members of the group Gi; and organizing the groups Gi based on the value of maxPermInfrProb for each Gi.
