It provides insight on the distribution of resources on both the vCloud layer and vSphere layer and illustrates the impact of various allocation model settings on vSphere admission control. The paper contains a full chapter about allocation model in practice and demonstrates the effect of using various combinations of allocation models within a single provider vDC.
