Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
establishing a compute unit comprising components from among a plurality of physical computing components by at least instructing a communication fabric communicatively coupling the plurality of physical computing components to establish logical isolation within the communication fabric to form the compute unit;
responsive to an indication of a change in workload associated with at least a software component deployed to a processing element of the compute unit, adjusting the logical isolation to alter a quantity of the plurality of physical computing components in the compute unit in accordance with the change in the workload;
wherein increasing the quantity of the plurality of physical computing components in the compute unit comprises adding at least one additional physical computing component into the compute unit; and
wherein decreasing the quantity of the plurality of physical computing components in the compute unit comprises removing at least one existing physical computing component out of the compute unit and placing the at least one existing physical computing component into a pool of free physical computing components for use by another compute unit.
