Abstract
A method and controller device for sharing computing resources in a virtualized environment having a plurality of virtual machines. The method includes assigning a portion of the computing resources to the plurality of virtual machines. The method also includes leasing by a first virtual machine at least a portion of the assigned computing resources of at least one second virtual machine. The first virtual machine leases computing resources from the at least one second virtual machine when the first virtual machine needs additional computing resources and at least a portion of the assigned computing resources of the at least one second virtual machine are not being used by the at least one second virtual machine.
