An Allocation Pool is a pool of allocated resources with a certain percentage guaranteed. The percentage guaranteed directly translates into reservations configured on the sub-resource pool. The difference between the reservation and the limit are resources that can be oversubscribed. In Figure 11, two tenants have organization virtual datacenters with 75% guaranteed. R
esource usage of the two tenants cannot exceed the combined total of the reserved resources (75% for each) plus the
resources available for overcommitment (25%). The percentage of resources guaranteed is not visible to end-consumers, who only see the total resources allocated.
