Claim:
1. A method for automated exploitation of virtual machine resource modifications, the method comprising: deploying, by one or more computer processors, at least one application in a distributed computing environment; providing, by one or more computer processors, at least one resource of a virtual machine to the at least one application in the distributed computing environment, wherein the at least one resource of the virtual machine provided is recorded in metadata and the at least one application receives the metadata and using the metadata, the at least one application determines how much of the at least one resource of the virtual machine to utilize; determining, by one or more computer processors, a change to the at least one resource of the virtual machine; and responsive to determining the change to the at least one resource of the virtual machine, modifying, by one or more computer processors, the metadata, wherein the at least one application uses the modified metadata to determine how much of the changed at least one resource of the virtual machine to utilize; wherein the metadata contains information about each application of the at least one application deployed in the distributed computing environment and information on how the at least one application interacts with the at least one resource of the virtual machine in the distributed computing environment.
