“When I joined VMware, we only had a hypervisor – referring to a single software [instance] that can be used to run multiple virtual machines on a physical one – we didn’t have storage or networking.” That’s where we came up with this vision: people would build private clouds with fully software-defined networks, storage and computing.

The key to making it work is the idea of a virtual resource. In Puppet, you are normally only allowed to define a resource once; you’d then apply that same resource against multiple systems. The Puppet Labs site does a much better job of explaining virtual resources. Realize the virtual user resources where needed.
