Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Administration of virtual machine affinity in a cloud computing environment, where the cloud computing environment includes a plurality of virtual machines (‘VMs’), the VMs composed of modules of automated computing machinery installed upon cloud computers disposed within a data center, the cloud computing environment also including a cloud operating system and a data center administration server operably coupled to the VMs, including installing, by the cloud operating system on at least one VM, an indicator that at least two of the VMs have an affinity requirement to be installed upon separate cloud computers; communicating, by at least one of the VMs, the affinity requirement to the data center administration server; and moving by the data center administration server the VMs having the affinity requirement to separate cloud computers in the cloud computing environment.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of administration of virtual machine affinity in a cloud computing environment, the cloud computing environment comprising a plurality of virtual machines (‘VMs’), the VMs comprising modules of automated computing machinery installed upon cloud computers disposed within a data center, the cloud computing environment further comprising a cloud operating system and a data center administration server operably coupled to the VMs, the data center adminis…
