1. A computer-implemented method for virtual machine management executable on one or more processors, comprising:
- receiving a request for a first virtual machine from a virtual host;
comparing the request for the first virtual machine to a policy, the policy comprising rules that govern access to a plurality of virtual machines; and
providing the virtual host access to a second virtual machine in response to comparing the request for the first virtual machine to the policy.
