Abstract

Methods and systems for management of cloud computing resources are described herein. A management server for a cloud of physical computing resources may assign states to individual physical computing resources or groups of physical computing resources. The states may include a disabled state, in which only administrator access to the resources is permitted; an enabled state, in which user access to the resources is permitted; a restricted state, in which some, but not all user requests to the resources are permitted; and an unmanaged state, in which no communications between the resources and the management server are permitted.
