Abstract
A host controller maintains a hierarchy of labels representing distinct virtual machine parameters, allows a user to specify labels for virtual machines hosted by one or more servers coupled to the host controller, and stores the specified labels in association with respective virtual machines in a database that reflects relationships between the labels according to the hierarchy. The host controller then facilitates management of the virtual machines using the labels.
