Claim 10:
11. An automation system comprising:
a system controller or redundant system controllers in communication with a plurality of compute resources, the system controller or redundant system controllers being implemented on one or more machines, and being configured to:
identify compute resources from the plurality of compute resources that are available to potentially receive deployment of a guest, at least two of the compute resources having different attributes from one another in the automation system;
assess constraints of the guest against a set of operational parameters to select a type of host for the guest;
select a type of host for the guest based on the assessing;
select, based on the type of host selected, the assessing, and attributes of the compute resources that are available, a compute resource for the guest; and
deploy a host of the type selected that is configured with the guest and associated virtual network on the selected compute resource, the associated virtual network connecting the guest to other guests configured on other hosts, the selected compute resource connected to and managed by the system controller, the system controller interconnected to other compute resources in the automation system.
