Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: determining, by one or more processors, that a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine are related; provisioning, by the one or more processors, the first and second virtual machines into a single physical machine together as a group of virtual machines; encapsulating, by the one or more processors, the group of virtual machines by providing an encapsulation barrier around the group of virtual machines within the single physical machine; modifying, by the one or more processors, an isolation barrier between the first and second virtual machines in the group by relaxing a restriction on data movement between the first and second virtual machines; and creating, by the one or more processors, shared memory between the first and second virtual machines in the group, wherein the encapsulation barrier around the group of virtual machines within the single physical machine controls access of the group of virtual machines to the shared memory.
