It is a typical usage to associate a group of applications/VMs with a common `RCID` and thus sharing a common pool of resource allocations. The resource allocations for the `RCID` is established to meet the SLA objectives of all members of the group. If SLA objectives of one or more members of the group -stop being met, the resource usage of one or more members of the group may be +stop being met, the resource usage of one or more members of the group might be monitored by associating them with a unique `MCID` and this iterative analysis process used to determine the optimal strategy - increasing resources allocated to the `RCID`, moving some members to a different `RCID`, migrating some members -away to another machine, etc. - for restoring the SLA.
