Placement policy-based allocation of computing resources

This system helps manage and assign computer resources like processing power, memory, and virtual machines to users. When someone asks for a service, they describe the kind of computer setup they need, including how the different parts should be arranged. The system then figures out the best way to place these resources, deciding exactly where and how they should be set up, and then provides them as requested. The claims specifically focus on the request either containing the resource definition directly (including processor, memory, and virtual machine details) or indicating a service type from which the definition is derived.

Why it matters: Filed before Kubernetes became ubiquitous, this patent's focus on defining resource topologies and policy-driven placement aligns perfectly with modern container orchestration and multi-cloud environments. The need for sophisticated, automated resource management has intensified with the growth of distributed systems and AI workloads.
