Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, by a management system, information indicative of a physical topology of computer systems in a datacenter; receiving a request to instantiate a virtual machine, the virtual machine comprising at least one virtual non-uniform memory architecture (NUMA) node, the request indicating a characteristic for the virtual machine; determining, based on the information indicative of the physical topology of the computer systems, a size for the at least one virtual node for the virtual machine, and determining, based on the determined size of the at least one virtual NUMA node for the virtual machine and the characteristic for the virtual machine, at least two virtual NUMA nodes of at least one size for the virtual machine, selecting, based on a configuration of the virtual machine having the determined at least two virtual NUMA nodes, a computer system from the computer systems in the datacenter, and sending a request to the selected computer system in the datacenter, the request to the selected computer system directing the selected computer system to instantiate the virtual machine having the determined at least two virtual NUMA nodes.
