Abstract
Programmatically adjusting the operational state of one or more virtual machines based on policy. Resource consumption on a hardware device is monitored. A policy that considers at least a present level of resource consumption and an amount of available resources of the hardware device is consulted. An operational state of a particular virtual machine that resides on the hardware device is changed. The change in operational state may be performed to optimize performance of a virtual machine with which a user is interacting, to enforce behavior constraints upon the virtual machine, or to adjust its execution in view of the available resources on the device.
