VIRTUAL MACHINE ALLOCATION
First Claim
1. A virtual machine allocation method, comprising:
- responsive to receiving a request to execute a virtual machine, determining a geophysical location of a host for the virtual machine;
determining a geophysical policy for the virtual machine;
determining whether the geophysical policy for the virtual machine corresponds to the geophysical location of the host for the virtual machine; and
responsive to determining that the geophysical policy for the virtual machine corresponds to the geophysical location of the host, executing the virtual machine.

8. A method for virtual machine allocation, comprising:
-
responsive to receiving a request to execute a virtual machine on a host, determining a geophysical policy for the virtual machine, the geophysical policy identifying a geophysical location where the virtual machine is executable; accessing stored geophysical data indicating a geophysical location of the host; verifying the integrity of the geophysical data; responsive to positively verifying the integrity of the geophysical data, determining whether the geophysical policy for the virtual machine corresponds to the geophysical location of the host; and responsive to determining that the geophysical policy for the virtual machine corresponds to the geophysical location of the host, executing the virtual machine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
