Abstract
A software defined infrastructure (SDI) makes available a subset of a computer server's resources to a cloud solution or workload. Multiple subsets of resources can be combined in a SDI to provide a logical resource pool. This allows cloud administrators to create software defined infrastructures derived from the partial capacity of a collection of systems. The resources defined across the physical boundaries of a computer server can then be made available to host deployment of cloud workloads. The infrastructure resource pool can be selected upon deployment of a cloud workload.
