  • importing a plurality of sets of resource management policy rules from a plurality of heterogeneous sources of a virtual machine computing environment;

    storing an imported policy rule as a primitive policy;

    extracting policy information from the primitive policy;

    storing a wrapper with the primitive policy, the wrapper identifying a policy rule identified in the policy information, the wrapper utilizing a first language different than a second language utilized by the primitive policy;

    associating the primitive policy with a resource in the set of computing resources;

    generating a first composite policy for the resource, wherein the composite policy includes a first reference identifying the primitive policy;

    generating a second composite policy for the resource, wherein the second composite policy includes a second reference to the first composite policy; and

    transmitting a plurality of policies referenced within the second composite policy, including the primitive policy and the wrapper, to a policy engine of the virtual machine computing environment, the policy engine to apply the primitive policy by reading the wrapper using the first language without reading the primitive policy using the second language.
