    querying the hypervisor server to determine an allowable range for a number of virtual ports of a first port group of a virtual switch implemented on the hypervisor server, the first port group being associated with the virtual network;

    provisioning at least one virtual machine on the virtual network, the provisioning of a virtual machine of the at least one virtual machine including assigning a respective virtual port of the first port group to the virtual machine;

    monitoring usage of the virtual ports of the first port group; and

    in response to the usage of the virtual ports of the first port group exceeding a threshold, instructing the hypervisor server to provision a second port group on the virtual switch, the second port group being associated with the virtual network.
