ABSTRACT:
Techniques are provided for on-demand resource allocation in a cluster having at least one initial virtual machine. It is determined that resource requirements have changed. At least one new virtual machine is created on at least one physical machine based on the changed resource requirements. The at least one new virtual machine is added to the initial cluster. Transactions for the at least one initial virtual machine are failed over to the at least one new virtual machine.
