First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of managing a virtual machine in a cloud computing system, comprising:
- organizing virtual servers, present in the cloud computing system, into policy domains, wherein a policy domain is a group of virtual servers that share a common policy;
determining, upon receipt of a request for creating a new virtual machine, whether a policy of the new virtual machine corresponds to a policy of a policy domain; and
creating the new virtual machine in a policy domain whose policy corresponds with the policy of the new virtual machine.

Abstract
Provided is a method of managing a virtual machine in a cloud computing system. Virtual servers present in a cloud computing system are organized into policy domains, wherein a policy domain is a group of virtual servers that share a common policy. Upon receipt of a request for creating a new virtual machine, a determination is made whether a policy of the new virtual machine corresponds to a policy of a policy domain. The new virtual machine is created in a policy domain whose policy corresponds with the policy of the new virtual machine.

8. A computer-implemented method of managing a virtual machine in a cloud computing system, comprising:
-
receiving a request for moving a virtual machine from a source virtual server to a recipient virtual server; verifying whether the source virtual server and the recipient virtual server are in same policy domain, wherein a policy domain is a group of virtual servers that share a common policy; and migrating the virtual machine from the source virtual server to the recipient virtual server, if the source virtual server and the recipient virtual server are in the same policy domain. - View Dependent Claims (9)
