Hybrid virtual machine configuration management

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic executable by the processor to:
• assign to a first set of virtual resources of a first virtual machine a first priority, wherein the first set of virtual resources are entitled resources for the first virtual machine;
• assign to a second set of virtual resources of a second virtual machine a second priority lower than the first priority, wherein the second set of virtual resources are uncapped virtual resources for the second virtual machine;
• map the first set of virtual resources to a first physical resource of a pool of shared physical resources, the pool of shared physical resources allocatable to the first and second sets of virtual resources, wherein the first physical resource comprises a desired affinity level to a second physical resource allocated to the first set of virtual resources;
• and
• preferentially allocate the first physical resource to the first set of virtual resources over the second set of virtual resources.

A computer program product for hybrid virtual machine configuration management, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable program code configured to:
• assign to a first set of virtual resources of a first virtual machine a first priority, wherein the first set of virtual resources are entitled virtual resources for the first virtual machine;
• assign to a second set of virtual resources of a second the virtual machine a second priority lower than the first priority, wherein the second set of virtual resources are uncapped virtual resources for the second virtual machine;
• map the first set of virtual resources to a first physical resource of a pool of shared physical resources, the pool of shared physical resources allocatable to the first and second sets of virtual resources, wherein the first physical resource comprises a desired affinity level to a second physical resource allocated to the first set of virtual resources;
• and
• preferentially allocate the first physical resource to the first set of virtual resources over the second set of virtual resources.
